While it is easy to give in to the inclination to blame the GBH for everything and anything, I submit that the true source of our economic troubles has roots deeper and more nefarious, and in support of this hypothesis submit the following:

June 2008: Sparkplug joins PBF and immediately promotes and agitates for widespread acceptance of HBG by all forum members.

Septimeber 2008: Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and global banking crisis.

2008---->Present: Economy dithers, wage growth stagnant, but 1% kicks butt.

2008---->Present: Sparkie continues to advocate for "improved" bream.

I just don't see how that can be a coincidence.
