  • Lawmakers ignore Treasury Secretary Jack Lew   12 years 2 weeks ago

    PLEASE READ POST #64 FROM THURSDAY APRIL 18th 2013...and comment on this current thread. I am currious to hear what anyone has to add or say.

  • Lawmakers ignore Treasury Secretary Jack Lew   12 years 2 weeks ago

    OOOhhh, watch out what you say, Nachos. You're gonna get the "Warewolf" down on you....

    Of course I agree with what you said, with one caveat: I don't believe all former and current members of the military are "murderers". I do believe that there is an "elite" segment of the military that is trained to do just that, however, and I have a problem with it. I can speak with a little authority on that as I was a cadet at USAFA in the 60's and still remember the brainwashing (even still dream about it at times).

    This is a very large and complex country. To make sweeping generalizations is always dangerous. But I think we can agree that the wrong people are now firmly in charge.

    Glad you're back, Nachos.

    mmuoio, you're absolutely correct in pointing out the the influence of big corporate money in government is ruining this country. I can't take exception to one thing you said, but I question the intent of the following from your post: "Corporations, including gun corporations, are now people and they really do not want everyone to vote" (the emphasis is mine). Why did you find it necessary to focus on this segment, i.e., "gun corporations", of American business?

    I submit that there are far bigger players controlling legislation these days, for example, revenue for US based small arms manufacturers last year was $12 Billion ( http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/27/new-england-gun-valley-in-cross-hairs-of-gun-debate/1949465/ ) while in the last fiscal year the Department of Defense spent nearly $316 billion on defense contracts ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_contractor ).

    With your reference to "gun corporations" were you just adding a little editorial nod to the anti-gun sentiment here? If not, your point is well taken, but if you're really concerned about the weight of corporate money and its influence on policy you might want to take a look at what the "defense industry" has cost this country in terms of treasure, not to mention the global loss of life and our national prestige.

    Other than that, a great comment.

    It's been a several weeks since I last posted on this blog...I find it funny that the usuale suspects are still bantering on about the "do do do the da da da..." i.e. Who shot Kennedy, Who Flew the Planes into the Twin Towers, Who...who...who!?!? Who fucken cares...I am more concerned about the "Why's" and what we need to do to establish true peace...Wrangle, restrain, the Corporations that are writting and pushing hostle policies in Washington that diminish the U.S. Constitution and dismantle We the Peoples Rights, as well as destroy the middle class work force.

    Here is my take on "The Big Picture" (not Thom's show).

    The United States of Corporations (U.S.C.), aka the United States Government, and all its allies, do not give a crap about "average Jo Blow". Yet average Jo Blow (Left and Right) believes that their party is fighting the good fight and cares about the wellbeing of the average American.
    It amazes me the number of Obama supporters that excist; not that I was surprised he was reelected...Americans in general are ignorant and constantly make irrational decissions based on fear, i.e. A few douche lickers commit mass murder and Americans are ready to vote away their Liberties and Rights! Yet on the flip side...For decades Americans have supported a Government that illegally invades and occupies other soverning nations...tourturing and murdering millions of innocent people...Yes all those who have and are currently serving in the U.S. military are guilty of murdering innocent lives...Americans view life as cheap...Disposable!
    NO LOGIC...NO CRITICAL THINKING!!! From top to bottom (wealthy to poor) Americans - in general - are greedy, self rightious murderous hipocrits...This is their demise. Americans are their own worse enemy.

    This should surprise no one.....the "process is clearly broken structurally----The process of gerrymandering which is manipulating a congressional district to benefit your party is why so much money and energy is spent by special interests to maintain or acquire a seat. If a seat can be gained, it will be a vote for your special interest for many years to come.Approximately 75% of the seats in the House of Representatives are virtual guarantees for the incumbent due to gerrymandering. The “majority” party at the State level most often controls the redistricting process.To demonstrate the absolute absurdity of this process---the House of Representatives is currently held by a Republican majority of 234 to 201.The absurdity is that more people actually voted for Democrats than Republicans as follows: Democrats: 59,645,387 to 58,283,036 or a margin of 1,362,351 for the Democrats.Even though this margin was small at 1.2% for the Democrats, it produced a Republican majority in the House of Representatives of 7.6%To suggest or refer to this voting outcome as “Representative Democracy”, would be the pinnacle of equivocation and prevarication and should outrage all of us. It was produced by corporate money. The Supreme Court had “reclassified as speech” in the Citizens United case in 2010. Corporations, including gun corporations, are now people and they really do not want everyone to vote. We witnessed this through the increased voter suppression on November 6, 2012. We must change or we will continue to decline as a nation.

    The problem is not the people be it Republicans or Democrats ,its there world view and cultural story that creates who they are.

    Another way of saying this that beliefs create behaviors .So if you desire real change in the system the only way is to alter the belief that sponsored the behavior and this my friend goes way back long long ago .

    A great place to start is the book The Storm Before The Calm a must read in understanding why we are where we are and what we can do about creating a world that actually works for the highest good of all and the family called humanity.
