US launches “free trade initiative”

Author’s note: This news in brief article seems rather quaint now, I was outraged by the USA slapping tariffs on steel imports. Now look at where we are

The US announced a series of measures today to help kick start the World economy and avoid recession in “the key voting areas of the US”. The initiative entitled “Fuck the lot of you” comprises of a series tarrifs and import duties designed to cripple the key industries of developing nations. “This is an important step to help protect our mighty steel industry.” explained George Bush. “The fact that it is a tiny part of the US economy, will cause huge amounts of damage to our trading relations with other countries and probably tip the third world into recession is a tough call. But fortunately as none of those guys can vote in the US, I don’t give a stuff”. Mr Bush finished by announcing a further set of initiatives about to be launched to help world trade including tax breaks for any overseas company producing American flags, subsidies for performance enhancing drugs to help the US win even more medals and a special fund to support the writing of patriotic songs.
