Life according to Sponge Bob

Wouldn't life be better if we lived like Sponge bob? Think about it for a minute, You could live in a pineapple, you'd never have to pay taxes, you're neighbors would be a starfish and a squid and you'd be able to go jelly fishing anytime you wanted. (Not sure about the jelly fishing part?)

Instead, we have Life in the real world. Bills, decline of the metropolis population and the possible and most likely inevitable recession that will arise from corporate yahoos and this bail out program. Who do they think is gonna pay this? That's right, you and me, the middle man. See if We lived in bikini bottom we'd be able to pay with Crabby Patties and not worry about this failing economy.

Again I say, Life according to Sponge Bob is what we all desire to live like, careless and free. I'm not saying we should be like Patrick and all be stupid starfish (not saying anything about starfish, wouldn't want to get sued or anything) (He laughs to himself- I'm gonna get sued from a cartoon) but you never know who might read this and say " I take offense to that, I'm like "Patrick" or "Sponge Bob" or whatever. I'm sure that living in a world, in a pineapple underwater has it's disadvantages also. Like, how do you get clean air or electricity? What about the sewage treatment program? Do they have one? How do they make a crabby patty anyway?

I look at Mr. Crab's as the Government. They are all out to make a buck and don't care about the little man, i.e. Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, etc.. So, the Krusty Krab is the biggest business in bikini bottom, but yet it's failing because Mr. Crabs has made poor choices in who he'll let borrow money, now all of bikini bottom and the rest of the sea is feeling the pressure (no pun intended). They reach to king trident, who in turn is the federal government, and says we need to bail out the rich so that the rest of the sea (a.k.a. the world) will buy from the krusty krab (a.k.a our stock market), King Trident steps in and proposes a plan that will cost $700 billion Crabby patties ($700 Billion dollars) * are you seeing the irony here?*.

The citizens of Bikini bottom revolt and demand the the govt. figure out a way to help them and not just help the top 3%. Give the little guys like Spongebob $225,000 and let them stimulate the economy. They could help fix this problem, Everyone with Fins and Gils over the age of 18 would be eligible for this and you'd be able to pay your mortgage on your pineapple, save money for college and stimulate foreign trade. This doesn't look good for the big guys, since they wouldn't be able to take a cut. How would that help? If every Creature in the see (All Americans) were set back to 0 and put back on the same playing field. Basically securing all our debts. The banks would be getting their money, the Lenders would be happy and would be able to make available more loans and big companies wouldn't suffer. (oops, I've kinda forgot about being in bikini bottom for a second) Then King Trident would be able to work on foreign trade, energy plans and stimulate economic growth. But wait, what about inflation? Spongebob, scratches his head for a minute and thinks about it. A gallon of milk lets say, If everyone had $225,000 dollars to do as they saw fit what would happen? Several factors would play into this situation.

1. A gallon of milk would go from $3.50 to something like $15.00. So on and so forth. Right?

2. People wouldn't use this money for what it was intended? (You're absolutely right, But, are those big companies any different?)

3. What happens in 5 years with this plan? If you stabilize the economy and you're not dependant on foreign fossil fuel you can work on developing new jobs in bikini bottom. (The U.S.)and stimulate are economy

4. Pay your bills and save money! Put your money into and institution that is safe and that will grow and it will make you more money. Thus, helping the bank and the foreign investors.

5. Less legal tax breaks for the riches. No Loop holes. Bikini bottom needs a break we need to work from the bottom up not the other way around.

I think I'll go watch spongebob and not worry about our economy. Oooh look Crabby Patties!

Until next time Kiddies,
