In the past I haven’t been very political and this isn’t a political forum to blog, but it is somewhat relevant and this may be lengthy. For all that we’ve been through, Ponzi scheme and all. I find our Government Officials doing similar underhanded deals. The oil oversight committee being bought out with parties, drugs, sex etc for their support. AIG, Auto companies, Credit Card companies getting away with murder, Fannie Mae/Mac and the banks being bailed out. We borrow money from some of these institutions, because of their schemes people can’t repay the loans so these companies are now defaulting and it’s the taxpayers who foot the bill.. Some get screwed twice in this and it’s the upper management of these companies who get off scott free for their bad decisions. Why are they bailed out, perhaps they supported certain campaigns. The money this war is costing us, which we are no longer wanted there and all this bail out money, could have gone to much better use. Why aren’t we allowed to vote on some of these issues. The Gov is taking money from us to pay another without fair representation. The difference between this and a Ponzi scheme is they don’t promise you anything, they just take your money and do what they owe people for. I don’t recall any of our Congressman or Senators asking our opinions or our voice to take to Washington. It’s not time for a “change” it’s time for an overhaul. They talk of having a debate. Who is debating? Are there only two people running for office? Where are all the independents, we need to hear their voice and opinions, especially if these two are the best they have to offer. The independents aren’t there because they aren’t in the back pockets of corporations and televisions stations who sponsor them. They don’t have the money to pay off anyone either. Where’s the Gov to help bail out all the investors, not only in this scheme, there have been others and much bigger. I guess we all should check to make sure that who ever we invest with is in bed with the Gov first so we have a chance to get money back. I wouldn’t have posted this here if I hadn’t heard similar comments from others. If anyone knows a good political site to be heard I like to know. I’m trying Bill Maher for one as soon as I find where I can write too. Any ideas or does anyone else have an opinion to share? You don’t need to take me verbatim on this blog, some of it is ranting and just fed up the way the Gov is being run. It just seems the Gov can get away with anything they want. Does anyone know what the Busch Doctrine is? That is a case in point.
