He will bite your nipples so hard you'll get war flashbacks, even if you've never been to war. He'll cum in yogurt and feed it to your grandma. He doesn't give a fuck.

The Great Recession 

A major economic contraction which began in 2008. The Great Recession featured the collapse or nationalization of many banks and investment houses. Characterized by a torrent of panicky headlines from the bloodthirsty vultures in America's piss-yellow newsrooms, who tried their damnedest to make us all believe that this was the worst it's been "since the Great Depression."
The Great Recession was the best opportunity yet to rob the public purse in order to bail out the rich-ass hedge fund managers and their golfing buddies.
