WOW! The Associated Press has long been a supporter of big government and the democratic party. But even they are concerned about this. Wow. Most red ink ever: $9 trillion over next decade http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090826/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_economy
what's even more troublesome is most of that money was given to Banks without any accounting. Give the sheer size of the theft/robbery/fleecing of the middle class by Wall street bakers, it worries me people are more worried about a measly govt. option health care plan.
Deep down, a lot of Republicans are still for big banks, big insurance companies, big pharma and the big shot doctors keeping them alive. They would rather keep a broken and costly health care system than break with their base and self interest.
Corporate welfare Republicans just love Bernanke, as they should. The United States of America is turning into the first 'capitalistic democracy' that socializes corporate losses and privates corporate profits. Congrats, Mr./Ms. Taxpayer! You get to participate in funding bank/corporate losses but will never see a dime of the billions in bonuses paid out to execs. Sucka!
Its Government for and by Industry. Special Interests get their men elected. In return, Congress pass legislation that favors, protects, or even bails out, their donors ! Its a parasitic "Old Boy" network of Aristocrats. The Political and Industrial Elite keep each other in power by stealing the labors of regular Americans. Hence:
It is obvious only lower taxes or a bigger deficit is the only thing that can ever lead to reduced wealth distribution that is either just or unjust.
Can someone please put up a link to a website that shows how become a member of 'The Club'. I want a piece of the pie.
