Where were all the debt-paranoia freaks during 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and the first month of 2009? Where were those loud screaming voices when President Bush laid the early foundation for the auto-bailout process; when he provided the banks $800 billion in bailout money; when he invaded a nation under false pretenses and spent $1 trillion in the process; when he offered there separate massive tax cuts promising new jobs that never came while essentially defunding government; when he waged a war against a nation to target a terrorist using money borrowed from China to fund it? In the end, it was all a scam; it became a transfer of national wealth to the wealthy. In a very stealthy way, he and his big government conservatives managed to rob this nation of the $5.4 trillion they accumulated for us in added debt. This unaccountable irresponsibility helped crash our economy in 2008 and as soon as President Obama was elected, suddenly so many people cared so much about debt (or something) that they overturned our government electing a bunch of uneducated, ignorant people that supposedly represented the tea party.
Since January 2009, the singular goal of Republican legislatures across this nation was to keep the economy in a state of failure with hopes of winning control of government to shove more of their rot down our throats. For the past three years, they have screamed jobs, tax cuts, jobs, tax cuts, jobs, while they have gone to work in Washington to busy themselves naming Post Offices. I ask: why the hell do we care what names our Post Offices hold while there are millions of Americans out of work and our vicious debt approaches $16 trillion? The reasonable fact is they don't want any jobs for Americans - but they do want tax cuts for rich people. (They also want to roll back regulations so that Wealth & Power thugs in this country can have things even more their way.)
In honor of those that died on September 11, 2001 and since fighting our "battle," I ask how was it was ever morally correct to hand over about $2 trillion of the debt I speak of above to a bunch of wealthy people that did not need it, may not have wanted it (outside of there own selfish geed), and that more than likely never personally sacrificed to support our "battle" before or after September 2001?
An finally, one last point: if we had a debt crisis in this nation, the stock market (DOW Index) would not be at 13,000 and interest rates would not be near 3% - think about that. Our debt crisis is another scam to pull government away from We the People! After all, how better to create an environment where government has no function than to aggressively defund it while convincing middle class people to give up benefits they fought and paid for during the past 100 years? All this to benefit several tens of thousands of families that already have more money than they could spend in several generations.
