This is true but if you recollect-—the vast majority of the American citizens were also against the bail out and it was passed despite the general publics rage!
Wouldn’t you agree that it would seem crystal clear that those elected to office don’t care what the general publics rage stems from in this stimlus and what it should be telling them in the calls, letters and e-mails these elected officials are receiving.
Very little of this money is slated to “stimulate” the economy. The vast majority is going to Acorn ( got to repay those political favors,huh?),Planned Parenthood (this to abort the future”tax payers” and fund events for the Gay community and allow them to adopt children even though it has been proven that children fair better in traditional homes), Medicaid ( it’s budget spiraled funding the illegal population), and the list goes on and on.
If the politicians stuck to just those things that would stimulate the economy ; there wouldn’t be the out rage in the general population but this stimulus is more about getting funds that the political parties can get their hands on to fund the next election, to line their pockets, or to promote an agenda they want to pass. The agenda at hand seems to be How Can We Bankrupt The General Population And Force Them To Comply To What We Want To Shove Down Their Throats! All me; no we!!!
Once elected, these officials don’t want to lose their jobs so they are devising ways to stay in power and control the masses. The public doesn’t get to vote on a vast majority of issues anymore. This is what allowed Congress to vote on their own pay and the abuse of “power” has spiraled out of control since then. The general public is deemed to be to stupid to understand that “they” have our best interest at heart.
The sad truth is that there are a lot of “elected officals” who feel they that are above the law once elected and if they are knowingly breaking the law-—well, they know how to change the laws so they then can be model citizens! How many of these elected politicians should be behind bars? If these laws were broken by a mere “citizen”; do you actually believe the “citizen” would be sent to prison for 2-6 months and allowed to rejoin the population with a “Go And Sin No More” attitude? Very unlikely! Ahhhh, they don’t want to pay there their taxes but you had better not try that stunt. Oh, I know-—that’s what a Pure Trust is all about, huh?
So, you wonder why the American population is fed up! Gee, it would take a rocket scientist to explain that one. The focus seems to be “me”, “I”, and “mine”! Oh, I forget the biggest one- POWER! The power is suppose to be the peoples; not the elected few!!!
I agree, in large part, with your sentiments.
