Reply #7: Thank you, bobthedrummer. Hiding the M-3 numbers as of March, 2006 is key to what they've done.

It's been a gigantic shell game, hiding accountability and scrutiny by the public of what these people were doing. And what they have done is shifted massive national wealth into the hands of a very secretive few, and bankrupting the country in the process.


They've stolen our manufacturing base, shipped our jobs out of the country, ravaged our educational system, stolen our health care, ripped apart our housing market---- all the things regular people and their families need to survive and thrive. They've neglected people after hurricanes, spewed unregulated toxins into our environment, turned away from people in desperate need.


And, with what we've witnessed this week, the Reagan-Bush-Bush-McCain radical conservative mob issued the equivalent of one final, massive, orgasmic tax cut to Wall Street.


There's nothing left except the fouled and bloody water in Grover's bathtub.


From April 26, 2001:

Yet even while emerging as a Washington power broker, Norquist has held on to the irreverent, in-your-face style that has been his trademark since his earliest days as a college activist in the 1970s. "I've been a 'winger' from way back," he says. "I was an anti-Communist first, and then I became an economic conservative. I think I've gotten more radical as I've gotten older." Today, he can barely suppress his glee at how much the movement has succeeded, saying that politics is shifting to the right while he remains constant. "I started out as a right-winger, and when I retire I want to be a squishy middle-of-the-roader," he jokes, chortling at the thought. To Norquist, who loves being called a revolutionary, hardly an agency of government is not worth abolishing, from the Internal Revenue Service and the Food and Drug Administration to the Education Department and the National Endowment for the Arts. "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years," he says, "to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

Peace, bobthedrummer.

Justice. Is. Coming.


And this time, it won't merely be a guest appearance.
