We may not make much money, but we sure have a lot of fun!
of a country gone lost. Simple way to view the State of the union address.
As the rhetoric continues about an improving economy, the shift in speech becomes the challenges facing Americans.
Government is effective at minimizing the historical impacts of terrible decisions. Decision that favoured the banks. Decisions that raised an inexcusably high budget deficit of 400 billion in the 2nd last year of the Bush regime to over 3 times that amount.
The majority of that money has essentially been laundered by the fed into the hands of the banks who can only be called risk takers if the government had not bailed them out.
Yes letting them failed would have been short term chaos, restoring them to health will result in long term chaos. Just as America as a neutral country ended not as a result of the great wars (which led to intervention well after the beginning of the wars and after provocation) but when wars were waged for corporate interests under the guise of political idealism.
The great political machine does not tell of how dramatically taxes will be increased, or services cut, it warns of impending sacrifice expected of all (that is the American way) in support of inept decisions made by inept and corrupt government and regulators on behalf of their corporate cronies.
As the sell out of the people continue the rhetoric becomes more clever and the subtle changes in speech are merely warning signs of the impending disaster the people will face.
Given the intelligence (or lack therof) of the avg American, the adamant support of some citizens of anything republican or democrat or military or some divisive cause which keep all of them nothing more than mere pawns who nonetheless do not believe the ultimate agenda is to make citizens functional serfs for the cause of the bankers.
Is revolution inevitable ... I doubt it, the few incidents which will occur will be harshly dealt with by an increasingly militaristic organization which will more resemble the kgb etc, then imagined democratic justice.
