Our 'leaders' have become our controlers. What else can one conclude when they put us up on the block for slaughter?
Caveat: UNLESS, and it's a big shakey unless, it is a play for time and position.
Pfft. Since when?, the citizens of this nation no longer hold the reins of the government, corporations and special interest groups do.
Admittedly it has gotten out of control .... wholesale, but I think we get the leaders we deserve.
We, as a nation, get the leaders (if you want to call them leaders) that we are provided to elect. Basically, opposite sides of the same lame coin.
