America's Fiscal Day of Reckoning and Cassandra's Curse

Only when the masses are homeless and hungry will you see a "revolt" of any sort. The politicians are under the thumb of the bankers, drug companies, and oil companies. If the government was "governing", Wall Street wouldn't have been able to rob the country of it's equity; the oil companies would not be able to raise prices on a whim (summer driving season); and the insurance companies wouldn't be able to make you pay 3 times the amount for services/drugs as a self-payor that they themselves pay to providers. Yes, the American people have had their heads up their A$$e$ for too many years. No one pays attention until it's their house being foreclosed, or their child being indoctrinated in the public school (global warming and free condoms), or their 401k being destroyed. Even then, they feel powerless to make any change or difference in the status quo.


Democracies indeed follow the path to dictatorship (Obama) through laziness and self absorbtion.

I will personally vote AGAINST any incumbent politician on the ballot in 2010/2012. Politicians do not serve their constituents, but rather, their campaign contributors.

Morality has gone by the wayside in this country. We should all be ashamed. The founding fathers got it right. FEAR YOUR GOVERNMENT!
