Washington DC is in such shambles and has been. Sadly, its just going to get worse. Imagine if we had a media where they did their jobs and looked our for you and I, as they are suppose to. The corruption in politics and the media go hand in hand.
Speaking of dumb, who was that clown that said an island would tip over if there were too many people on it? He was from Georgia, I think. Yeah, he got re-elected. Wasnt the only dumb thing he's said either.
More proof that congress and the fedguv need to be neutered
they certainly do.
i saw a good article on seeking alpha which said, in part:
I have sat back and watched atrocity after atrocity be committed in this downturn. Like all Americans I have watched as public funds have been shifted for private gain, as fraud has been perpetrated, as lie after lie has been paraded in front of Congress, as the Fed has seized all vestiges of Congress’ power to create and control the production and allocation of money supply which is one of the US’s most precious assets, and as Congress and its institutions (including the Fed which is private but is suppose to act on the public’s behalf) bequeath money upon the most unfit institutions rather than the most fit institutions to lead us into the next decade and wonder why nothing works.
So why do I choose to write now? Because now, laid at the feet of the public, is one atrocity that exceeds them all. It is not about money supply which monetarists know can be created at whim by the government as long as they are willing to risk the results (inflation and usually massive corruption as we are witnessing). It is not about taxation, which the government can legally solely whittle away your money to zero, for they can do so by creating more money to the point all your existing money becomes a shadow of its former self.
Rather is is about real assets. It is about the fundamental core of capitalism itself. It is about making your own business, incorporation, employment, and all the functioning of the free market itself. What is being laid at the feet of Congress like some grand trophy is the Fed (representing banking interests) and Treasury (representing banking interests and the executive branch) is their right to seize any company or corporation, irrespective of their solvency if they find it a threat to the greater economy. How is the case made for this type of policy?

but it was memorable, especially the reaction it got:
Mitch Mcconnel (yurtle the turtle), John Boehner (basket ball-faced drunkard), and who could forget Eric Cantor, the impish, bratty child of a man who has no right speaking to the POTUS the way he does. Oh yeah, don't forget Romney's favorite little boy toy Paul Ryan, who thinks Ayn Rand wrote her novels for rich, greedy white men who whine about a 20% tax rate, and not for people under the boot of true oppression. In Rand's case that would be the Porgroms in eastern Europe that drove her family to America.
