Through the looking glass.

A six-year old American child is placed on a no-fly list.  After an investigation, the TSA refuses to remove her.   Apparently no one in America has the authority to sit on these Nazis.

The G-20 nations meet in Toronto.  Security costs a billion dollars but the police let hoodlums trash Toronto anyway.  The G-20 leaders, ALL of whose nations are in debt to each other for billions they cannot ever repay,  pledge to cut the debt in half in three years.  In order to do that they will have to bankrupt the entire working class of the world.  If you live in a country in which the citizenry has been disarmed, there is very little you can do about it.  You are now slaves. People who live in Toronto suddenly know what remote villages in Europe knew a thousand years ago.  When the Vikings come, you are screwed. Those 19,000 policemen will go home this week and those rioters can pick any day of any week to take over your city. Go ahead and laugh at me for owing a firearm but no one will ever do that in my neighborhood and live to tell about it. Americans aren't sissies.

Congress allowed TBTF companies to ship 8 million American jobs overseas.  Not surprisingly, 8 million Americans and an additional 100,000 a month who enter the job market aren't working.  So they aren't paying taxes and they are losing their homes.  In response, the congress cuts off unemployment benefits to people whose jobs THEY allowed to be outsourced. Then they financed the war in Afghanistan to the tune of another 60 Billion dollars. That may not be enough though, so they are thinking about canceling Social Security...or at least setting the entrance age past the average lifespan of the citizens.

The funny thing about all this is that the Republicans are the ones who inherited a budget surplus in 2,000.  By the time Obama took office the economy had already tanked.  So far not his fault.  But then he reneged on EVERY campaign promise that interested me enough to vote for him.  EVERY SINGLE ONE.  The boneheads who CAUSED the economy to collapse are EXACTLY THE SAME people who are supposed to fix it.  And they aren't fixing it and the President doesn't seem to notice.  After EIGHT years in Afghanistan we are STILL losing the war and the President doesn't seem to notice.  HIS MAIN campaign pledge...to close Gitmo...has just been tossed out.  So the Democrats are just as much to blame because they are just as corrupt as the Republicans.

Voting one party out every other election doesn't help.  The only thing that will help is to let the politicians start another civil war.  They are damn close.  46 states are going to be bankrupt this year.  The taxpayers bailed out the banks which are now foreclosing on homes and refusing loans because the citizens which bailed them out no longer have jobs. That is cause for revolution if there ever was one. It is exactly as compelling as the original revolution because it is for the same reason.  Taxation without representation.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC
