"TABLE-STAKES"

Is "Big Money" "Doubling Down"
 
As 2012 shuffles off into the dust-bin of history, it leaves behind more questions than answers for those things that are really important.  It was reported that the Financial Times has a headline today   http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/08916578-42e4-11e2-a3d2-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fcomment_editorial%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct#axzz2GHitF49u     seriously questioning the future of the Republican Party (the party that existed before Repoobs infested it).  Looks like someone over there read my blog (13Dec12).
 
Long before the unwashed Repoobs crawled out of their Southern sewers to infest the party, the GOP was THE PARTY for the Rich (BIG MONEY).   Growing ever bigger over the past several decades, Big Money has split into two parts: malevolent, and not-so malevolent.  Never-mind, that the GOP has loved and served both parts.  In their present sickened condition, serious emergency treatments must be applied if the Party is ever to serve this nation again.  In its present state, we can be easily convinced it is dead-set on destroying this country.  The voters are "all-in"; now that the dreaded election of 2012 is behind us.  It also appears that what was "good" Big Money thirty years ago, is out-of-the-BIG-money now. 
 
What does this mean for our economy and for the global economy?  Hold on tight! We'll just have to ride this out.  Will it be a Happy New Year, or a Crappy New Year, come midnight on this coming Monday?
 
And we foolishly thought during the Repoob Primary that all would be well if only we could get "Big Money out of politics"!  NOT!!  Big Money trumps elections, even when they lose, it seems.  Looks like its the TAX CODE that is the real prize.  Barber Conable    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barber_Conable   warned us decades ago that mess had grown well beyond repair.   We're hard up against it and must now rely on the genius of the Founders who constructed our present governing tools.  If we have any competent legislators left, lets hope they can prevail somehow.
 
Stay Vigilant!
