Doomsday! Accident at Large Hadron Collider causes American economy to reverse it's polarity

Doomsday! Many people said that the LHC would destroy the Earth or create a black hole, so when someone left a coffee cup in the ring, it was no surprise when the American economy suddenly had it's polarity reversed. Horrible, horrible! Changes include...

The '47%' mentioned by Romney are told to just a write a check to the government if they want to help while the rich are told to be more accountable with their money and people are urging closer scrutiny of the tax cuts and other benefits they receive!

Food stamps, unemployment insurance, and other programs of the safety net are now seen as valuable programs keeping millions of Americans from abject poverty while tax cuts that came with a promise of creating jobs for years now are now seen as a failed economic policy.

Teachers now find themselves with blank checks while the military all of the sudden needs to prove why they need funding and they are not called liars by Paul Ryan if they say they are operating within budget!

There is now a concern about the 'confidence' of job seekers and 'job creators', instead of looking for blank tax cuts, are now satisfied with the plethora of tax credits they get from hiring people.

Inheritances are no longer seen as earning your money and stashing your cash in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands is no longer seen as patriotic.

Yep... This would be the American economy backwards.

The mysterious "God Particle" is a coffee cup superposition of half-full and half-empty steaming black matter, made from "non-standard non-model" Zapatista coffee beans of emergent good social conscience and governance. Welcome to the brave new world!
