Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a stunning revelation that has left political pundits and citizens alike reeling, historians and economists have uncovered a web of interconnected economic patterns that date back to the birth of the republic. These patterns, it turns out, were not just predictive models but harbingers of an inevitable cataclysm that has now befallen the nation.

The scandal, which has been dubbed "The Great Economic Forecast Fiasco of 2023," began with the unearthing of a dusty old text titled "The Economic Almanac of Founding Fathers: A Guide to National Doom." The book, allegedly written by none other than Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, detailed a series of economic decisions that, if followed, would lead to a fiscal cliff of epic proportions.

According to the book, each economic decision made by the nation's leaders since the country's inception was a calculated step towards financial ruin. The pattern was simple: every time the country teetered on the edge of economic collapse, a group of savvy politicians, herein referred to as "The Financial Pharaohs," would implement a series of policies that would kick the can down the road, only to leave their successors to deal with the repercussions.

"It's as if they were forecasting their own downfall," said Dr. EconHistorian, a leading voice in the field of historical economics. "Each generation of leaders seemed to be playing a high-stakes game of Jenga with the economy, pulling out pieces that they knew would eventually cause the tower to topple."

The current batch of politicians, particularly those from the Republicanss of today," have been accused of ignoring the warnings signs etched in the hallowed pages of the Almanac. Instead of heeding the advice of the founding fathers, these modern-day leaders have allegedly continued the cycle of fiscal irresponsibility, leading to the predictable disaster that has now unfolded.

The disaster, which has been widely reported in the mainstream media as a "surprising economic downturn," was, in fact, as inevitable as gravity. The only shocking aspect is that anyone could have missed the signs. "It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion," said a disillusioned financial analyst. "You know it's going to happen, you just can't believe your eyes when it does."

In a twist of irony, the same politicians who once championed the virtues of personal responsibility and fiscal conservatism are now at the forefront of blaming external forces for the economic mess. From finger-pointing at international trade partners to blaming the previous administration for their own missteps, the "Financial Pharaohs" have outdone themselves in the art of deflection.

As the nation grapples with the consequences of these foreseen events, the question on everyone's mind is: Will history repeat itself, or will this serve as a cautionary tale for future generations of leaders? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—the founding fathers' economic forecast was spot on. If only we had paid more attention to the warning signs, or so the ironic narrative goes.

In conclusion, the great economic forecast fiasco of 2023 is a testament to the cyclical nature of human folly. It serves as a reminder that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, especially when there's a conveniently written guidebook sitting on the shelf gathering dust.
