The "Miracle" of a "Clean Election"??
In their second Presidential Election since the "Supreme Selection" of 2000 and the Rovian Chicanery of 2004, the voters have decided the outcome in such a way as to set us on a path for fiscal sanity. It will take us a while to arrive at a better destination, but a correct path is most important. The President's convening of Congressional (Leadership?) this past week seems to indicate some movement in the right direction.
Obama-Hatin' Rump-Repoobs are storming in the media over the misfire of their October Surprise, but the President is up to the task of stomping these cockroaches. The vote went a long way toward getting rid of this vermin, but if we let up, they'll be back! 2014 preparations are already underway. Remember also, 2016 will be a Presidential Election without an incumbent. These are much easier to fix under our system. The trashing of Rove and the massive financial losses of the Bad Big Money may make it a little harder for them, however.
Back to the "Cliff"; the consensus is that the heist the Cheney/Bush bunch robbed from the citizens during the 2000-2008 debacle is in excess of $1T. That's what it cost to give two tax cuts to the rich, start two wars, and give seniors free drugs. They killed the surplus they inherited from Clinton and BORROWED FUNDS TO PAY THE TAB!! The costs of the implosion of our (and the globe's) economy that occurred as they were splitting the scene, are still on-going.
In my earlier blog titled: CORRUPTION (In Politics) (25Sep12), I cited facts learned in the early 70's concerning increases in the size and complexity of our nation. Regulatory agencies were created to complete the half-baked legislation created by Congress. Corporate and other interest groups moved their people into the regulatory agencies. Lobbyists moved in to Congress to write the half-baked laws.
We've, again, grown significantly, in both size and complexity, since 1970. We've seen systematic starvation of funding for our government by Repoobs since 1980. A lot of talking heads blather on about "too much spending". NOBODY has told us how much this growth in our government actually COSTS!! Whether we're spending too much or too little depends on what the TOTAL COSTS are! Dont'cha think? We get a detailed tab when we go out to eat -- why not from our governments AT ALL LEVELS??
Stay Vigilant!
