BOY, HAVE WE BEEN PLAYED
Democrats, Republicans, Financiers, Bankers, Senators, House Members–you name it. the American people have been had by all of them.
Trying to explain away all the communal ineptitude doesn’t change things one whit. If these people cared more about doing their JOBS than polishing their public images, maybe this country wouldn’t be in the scary, embarrassing position it is today.
Now it has been proven that giving the government money with the understanding that they know what to do with it, is sheer folly.
At least govenmental incompetence at all levels has achieved one positive result. It shows up Washington types and their lobbying friends for who they really are and who they really represent. It sure as hell isn’t the American people.
Maybe we’ve been had but never have we been more aware of it.
Government never works for the interests of the people, their interest is providing a profitable business climate. War, greed and repression of democracy is the business of government.
Hey, I’m impressed… that’s spoken like a libertarian
TRUE! And now that we are aware, does it really matter what they do? Or is it up to US to live as WE want and change things rather than waiting for someone ELSE to do it for us? I’m voting for the latter of the two. Of course, perhaps I have always been a tad jaded when it comes to trusting others to 1. know what is right for ME and 2. actually knowing how to accomplish it.
