Agree...but gees, no one to lead, i know someone will emerge, be anointed, but it's 20 years of one party or the other selling out to the special interests...
maybe longer, i wasn't around when US Grant sold out to the railroads. Lincoln, BTW, was a railroad lawyer, so maybe it's been going on since the country started to industrialize.
Clinton sold out Glass/Stegal to Citi when they bought Travelers, so did the entire Congress. That's both parties knocking down the wall put up during the depression to keep this very train wreck that's happened from happening. Same damn thing from the depression.
Clinton hired Roberta Roberta Achtenberg, lesbian lib, to force banks to give mortgages to people who couldn't pay them back.
Clinton also sold out the independent in Hollywood when he killed the Fyn-Syn rule that guaranteed 20% of production would be from independents. Gave the media to big biz, drove out other voices. The libs out here still love his ass.
Bush had Haliburton bellying up to the feeding trough during the Iraq war...the corruption is destroying the body politic...
Maybe I'm from a different generation, you know, when John Wayne was still a hero and Frank Capra could make movies like Mr. Smith and people watched them without snickering... |
