Those trade bills will cost the U.S. hundreds of thousands of jobs. Who lobbied most for these bills? Citibank, big pharma, and big agriculture. Wall Street. Who voted for the bills? Democrats and Republicans. The so-called "socialist" President, Obama, will sign them into law. So we'll soon have Hyundais and other Korean products for sale here that are produced by North Korean slave labor of Kim Jong-il. Panama, a premier tax shelter haven, will be able to tax shelter more U.S. corporations and other wealth with added treaty protections. The system is broken. Here's what's going to happen in the not distant future. As joblessness, despair for a decent future, and wealth disparity become even more pronounced, the protests will grow. There will be violence. Blood will flow. Heads will be put on pikes. It's going to get very nasty. EVERYBODY in the U.S. is covered by the 2nd Amendment. Firebombs are easy to construct. Most people will have to take a side, if they can't just lay low and keeps their mouths shut. All those rich fat cats should give a large percent of their money to Obama so he can give it to the protestors. Amen. |

I'll refrain from getting into a debate about specific individuals. Suffice to say, the whole Congress needs a major cleanup. 50 or so indictments and trials of Wall Street brokerage crooks, banking crooks, et al, the *big* fish, would have sent out a message. |

Indictments and trials means laws were broken or have been alledged to have been broken. That's the problem. The pols have written the laws that allow the misbehavior. |

And we are stupid enough to believe them and continue to re-elect them. Just maybe this uprising will help push the idea of campaign finance and lobbying reform forward. We have a bought congress and they serve at the beck and call of their supporters. Wall Street is one of the main players at the table, along with a number of the largest corporate players. Time for Washington DC to return to doing the people's business instead of whoring for financial services who want to bend the rules to suit their bottom line. |

Fleabaggers are a disorganized bunch. Anderson 360 will pick one to talk from all. Last I looked, 49% were more like Tea Party types, but media likes to sideline this. Best to just call this the rally of the discontent. Surprised we haven't seen more of this so far. Greece is rolling up on US shores. Too much debt, corruption and fraud from DC to stop it now. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs. But we have big huge government we can't afford... -- Obama and the lefty fleabagger attitude |
