U.S. Can Blame Wall Street - Who Should Everyone Else Blame?

I agree some more English words need to be used to insure comprehension.
I agree that as long as Washington is run as a whorehouse, the problem is going to continue.
I additionally agree that lobbyists represent an anti-democracy entity, capable of circumventing and perverting the government's charge of insuring a stable economy. (Clearly, the government is incompetent at providing a stable platform for business, but seriously now, would you hire a lawyer to build your house, manage your aquarium, or mow your lawn? No, the product of lawyers and legislators is noise not necessarily attached to any productive action or reality.)
Pay all legislators the mean average income of their electorate, abolish incumbancy, audit all legislators semi-annually, and install the death penalty as punishment for betraying the public trust. Send all lobbyists to Gitmo. Watch democracy work, again.
Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin saw the potentials for perversion of democracy at the beginning of our country. Read their thoughts and it is easy to see that everything that worried them has come to be.
Today, Nancy wants to burn my earnings to pay for campaign votes delivered by auto-makers.
Our legislators cannot bail out incompetently run entities on my dollar, survival of the fittest makes a strong America, bailouts are cancer.
I hope someone will spend as much time writing to elected officials as they will spend on this blog.
