Both parties partake of the exact same largesse, so claiming that one is to blame and the other is not is nonsense. The system itself is broken. And you can't fix it with a bit more openness here or a few published emails there. You can only fix it by separating politics and business, by taking a big old axe and cruelly cutting clear through the umbilical chords so carefully and profitably attended to on K Street. Anything else is mere make believe. Nobody in Washington seeks the truth behind all this. Everybody seeks a story that makes them look good for their voters.
The trouble in Denmark on Capitol Hill runs much deeper than a vote or an idea. The country is governed by a few hundred enlightened souls who are all for sale, or they wouldn't be where they are. And if a soul does get lost on the Hill and tries to follow his or her conscience, the rest of them will drown it out.
Read all the emails you want, investigate all the crooked deals made in the bail-outs. It won’t matter one iota. Once growth is gone, you need to prevent the rich from lobbying themselves into ever and even more riches. because these will have to come from the mouths of the desolate.
Or you can choose not to, but then your society is over and done with.
We have waited, far too long I am afraid. We are now caught up in the raging sea, tossed to and fro by the turmoil of a boiling hurricane with world wide consequences. If any think they may wrest control from those whom have grasped it with a death grip, or change the eventuality facing all of us, they are sadly mistaken.
I used to think my vote counted but now I realize it was for naught all these many years. Merely an illusion of control given to a greedy population in order to mollify and control same. I am sure and certain; a subject of rolling laughter in the halls of Congress and Senate, even the stately manor we refer to as the White House.
We have been lead down the primrose path to eventual enslavement or demise.
Oh, Merry Christmas. . . .
