The United States Congress looks set to pass a law that will bring that country one giant step closer to facism, merging corporate and government power (the definition of facism) in a way that weeks ago would have seemed unthinkable. It should still be unthinkable.
And to make certain this power grab isn't financed by the the ones perpetrating this assault on human intelligence, they are asking that the taxpayer foot the bill...bailing the banks out for their abysmal investments, so that these same 'cap in hand' bankers can lend back to families and small businesses (the ones who just forked over the $700b to them) at interest. Maybe I have it all wrong...but I've yet to hear different.
A number of things I've heard and read are worrying. I don't understand how elected politicians can
openly admit that the message received by constituents is still running 100 to 1 against this rescue of the world's money lenders, yet somehow they feel their conscience tells them they must vote for it anyway 'for the good of the country'.
I don't understand how a country's politicians can so flagrantly violate their own constitution without regard to future generations, instead scurrying to secure a few billions more for this or that 'pet' cause for their own district. I don't understand why Americans wouldn't vote those same 'for the good of the country' politicians out of office this November. And most worrying...why isn't the '100 to one against' view getting heard in mainstream media sources, unless....naw. Not in America, surely.
