I think they are acting on an economic theory by a guy considered the equal of Einstein. I think that, sraight out, should impress people-lol. I have no idea what Keynes and Einstein saw, or undertood. But Arthur Laffer is another question.

Recommended your post on the basis of this part; The enslavery of America .. just increases with every additional expenditure they make. I'm happy they are on break now. Let them Spend 500,000 million on new jets and tell them to stay home. having spent much of my life time as a member of the Non Voting Majority, I hate election season. Every election that comes i like most conscious NON Voters pray that there might be some politics worth voting for. In absence of that, we have to invent a special prayers that on the coming election day, that the hubris of the minority will elect the least intrusive politician. Unfortunately its getting worse. Look at the time of service for some of these senators, its their lifestyle and productivity on behalf of the minorities they represent that enables them to rape and pillage the rest of us. Often you'd just hope that there would be some sense of the damage they inflict, Conyers cant take time to read a bill that he is eager to vote on. If you look the pathetic amount of people who actually voted for him compared to the amount that had no say in the matter, its a disgrace. Congress folks often get elected with miniscule participation....in districts structured to rig outcomes. Alas, Politicians are not elected based on thier timidity to do harm, most are so emboldend by the missing information (non voters versus Voters) hubris becomes thier stock in trade. Momentum combined with hubris and the actual idea that they represent a good value....is laughable. its embarrassing to know that more than 50% didnt vote for you, and then you go to washington and act like you have a mandate....its embarrassing that the NON Voters message is so mistaken by the minority and its head long rust to entitle themselves at our expense. Non Voting is recognition that the choices offered were equally bad....someone please tell these guys, that those of us who shunned the opportunity to endorse political largesse....we're actually voting against them. A Non Vote is a NO vote against the choices, policies, and behaviors of the candidates offered.... From a long time non voter you can take these facts about the NON voting experience to the bank.
