Another great article by Walter Williams.
But we should expand the blame game to include corruption in ALL of government, which certainly dwarfs anything in the private section. Include all of the lying politicians from every level of government, clerks who have stolen public money, policemen who abused their authority and both planted and stole evidence, then sold it; nurses and doctors who have killed instead of healed, and perpetrators of affirmative action everywhere.
Add to the list government firefighters who set forest fires, and Government environmental employees whose policies ensure that the forests are not wasted by harvesting trees. Let the trees burn instead. Also, the swarm of public sector criminals who harass anyone who makes a dollar more than they do, or who benefit by prior planning, hard work, and personal initiative.
Oh, and we mustn't forget all the media swine across the country who each day corrupt the news to fit their preconceived notions.
This "blame the companies" game opens up brave a new vista of unintended consequences.

Which is worse: WorldCom or Congress?Well it can't be the House because Republicans have a majority there and they certainly wouldn't "cook the books" ignoring the little guy for their own political gain ...would they?...
Gee, if we just had a few more RINO's in the Senate that would give us a majority...but wait that's not good enough either. We need 60 Republicans to make it filibuster proof....Wait, of those 60 we can't have even one Rino and there'd be at least 15....I know we need 100 Republican Senators (only 40 can be RINO's), 435 Republican House members and a REAL Republican (if we can find one) for the President...THEN watch the fur fly.

Now, Now, don't talk about our great rubber stamp congress like that. Don't you know that it doesn't make any difference if the repubs embrace the dem's domestic programs as long as they have an R after their name. You are leaving yourself open for insults du jour. Be nice

CONGRESS......... a large group of spineless, sycophantic losers. This country is as helpless as these sleezoids are worthless!! I am embarrassed to have these gutless dolts making decisions over all our lives. Where are the real men? Maybe one of these guys will find out he is terminally ill, then maybe a few words of truth will come from his thin cruel, weak lips.
CONGRESS........The Founders would be very mortified!!!!

Washington's deception about federal debt can be found in a report by Andrew J. Rettenmaier, a senior fellow at the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis, titled, "How Big Is the Government's Debt?" Rettenmaier says that, as of 2001, the accumulated federal obligations to all people who've earned Social Security and Medicare benefits are $12.9 trillion for Social Security and $16.9 trillion for Medicare. Combined with the public and intragovernmental debt, the total federal debt burden is an unimaginable $35 trillion. That amounts to roughly $120,000 for every man, woman and child in America."How Big Is the Government's Debt? - by Andrew J. Rettenmaier

The truth is finally out. He that has an ear let him hear...

"By contrast, what happens when Congress cooks the books and deceives Americans into believing that government debt is $3.5 trillion or $6 trillion, when it's really $35 trillion? Absolutely nothing."
Guys, Now THAT bears repitition often and LOUD! When the government prosecutes {persecutes} the average citizen or corporation for actions the government itself is doing, the idea of equal justice under the law is DEAD. Totalitarian tyranny at the whims of man is BORN! Or anarchy of the elite over the masses. Peace and love, George.

I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more are called a congress.John Adams

Which is worse: WorldCom or Congress? Tough call. Kind of like asking who is worse, bin Laden or Arafat.
My Congressman is Cynthia McKinney, so based largely on that, I'd have to say Congress is worse than World Com. At least with World Come you don't have to buy its stock, and have some choice in the matter.
