Did you vote for that? Neither did I. Nor did other Americans. Nor are we voting for the kind of crap that continues in the billions per quarter today. The admin and Congress do not represent the American people. Who do they represent?

The major thing I take issue with in that article is that Bernard Schwartz has lost much and gained little. He sold Loral's only extremely profitable business -- aircraft brakes and parts -- to..........himself. He's lived like a king, hobnobbing with Bill and Hillary for eight years, birthdays at the White House, etc. He's drawn a lucrative salary from Loral while running it and Globalstar into the ground. He's worked out of plush offices in NY. While bringing countless people, including me, a shareholder in both Loral and Globalstar, high five-figure losses and sleepless nights. Memorable was the ill-fated Globalstar launch of 12 satellites from Khazakstan, web-cast live on the net, with lots of advance publicity. A couple minutes into the launch, there was an anomaly and signals were lost. Was it broadcast? No. The broadcaster turned to the PRACTICE SCRIPT and read what was supposed to occur, putting 12 satellites into orbit for the first time in history. I went to bed that night thinking I was going to be rich in 12 hours. The next morning, I eagerly turned to the news, only to find out that the Globalstar launch rocket had lost power shortly into the flight, and my 12 satellites were recyclable shards of junk lost in the mountains of Khazakstan, if anybody could find them. And that was one of Bernard Schwartz's less controversial whoppers. BTW, Schwartz was one of the top, if not THE top contributor to the DNC and to Hillary's Senate campaign. Where'd he get the money? From ME, and thousands of others like me.
