bailing out the banks and financial institutions, while the actual producers of goods and services--the workers--sink lower and lower into poverty, and end up on the streets, in the millions--jobless, homeless, starving.
This money should be going to the lower and middle classes--in tax cuts, health care, higher wages and benefits, as mortgage relief or mortgage insurance, as bankruptcy relief or insurance, in education and re-training grants, and in all the things that stimulate the economy, raise people's spirits and put people back into a position to buy the goods and services that workers produce.
Instead they are financing Wall Street's ILLUSIONS and SPECULATIONS. They are lining the pockets of the totally irresponsible rich. This is nuts. And it will not solve the problem.
Hooverism deja vu.
And, boy, I am really going conspiracy on this. This is the money that would have been ours, with a more progressive Obama administration--and that we would have demanded be used for us. They are stealing the last of it NOW--after eight years of theft of our government coffers, and gouging of our pocketbooks, such as we have never seen, and more than twenty years of radical, Reaganite de-regulation and looting.
This is the final looting.
I don't wonder any more how our Democratic leaders could have signed off on Bushwhack corporations 'counting' all our votes with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls, nor how a Democratic Congress, reportedly elected by the people to end the Iraq War and clean up Washington corruption, could end up with a single digit approval rating--worse than Bush's, worse than Cheney's. Bush/Cheney were their guys--the avant garde of the Great Looting, and the perps of the final destruction of the American middle class as a progressive force in the world. This is our party leaders' agenda, as well as the Pukes'. There is no distinction between them. They all wanted war and war profiteering. They all wanted the "Homeland" security boondoggle. They and their Corpo pals all made money on credit card usury and gas gouging and wild speculation. They made money when the poor went bankrupt and couldn't declare bankruptcy. They made money when the poor were evicted from their homes. They made money by depriving half of the people in this country of health care. They voted for all this, time and again--deaf to the people and our millions of letters and phone calls. And now they want to loot us FOREVER--to saddle US with this EXTRA debt--this backbreaking debt--that should be borne by the rich. This whole Corpo/fascist junta has been of both Democratic and Puke design, and they knew very well that, to shove it down the throats of the American people, they would need to have Bushwhacks in control of the vote counting with 'TRADE SECRET' code.
There is not one of them--not one!--with the exception of New York*--who can prove that he or she was actually elected. And I'm beginning to think that none them were! Even the Conyers' and the Feingolds were (s)elected by Diebold & brethren--to provide comic relief, for the fuckwads at the Bilderberg Group on their cigar breaks.
That's what I'm thinking. Traitors, every one. And a few clowns to distract us.
----------
*(--and the Bushwhacks are taking care of that right now, by suing New York to force them to accept 'TRADE SECRET' vote counting, when they have a perfectly good, publicly paid for and owned, and virtually unriggable lever voting machine system already in place. Why New York was spared in the initial push, I don't know. Perhaps to prevent New Yorkers from crying the alarm to the rest of us. But now they're getting Diebolded, and they were the last holdout. In the other big state that was putting up resistance--California--they ran our good Sec'y of State, Kevin Shelley, out of office, on entirely bogus corruption charges, for suing Diebold six months before the 2004 (s)election. And that took care of the fight against these machines in California, while the Dieboldization of the rest of the country took place.)
