Dissent Is Rising

This great country is in sum total led by absolutely the worst leadership at every level, be it the federal, state or local. What I have seen over the past decade is a complete erosion of trust in the very offices that are supposed to be the symbol of trust and a model of the best and an example to the world. Perception of our military is low in the world, federal agencies and its workers are no more trustworthy than street hawkers, and every level of government is sucking up resources from common man and handing it over to the 1% through every imaginable excuse of stimulus, job creation, green technology, revitalization..you name it. It seems that we are being led by idiots whose names keep changing in election cycles..but idiots nonetheless. At the top of this heap is President Obama. Don’t know if he can change anything at all, given the systemic rot. A great country, with greatest people ever, in bondage and in desperate times. We need a Moses.

You can’t get into positions of power without cozying up to the 1% so it’s no surprise this is happening. They keep around a few mavericks just to make it look like the system isn’t rigged, but these people are for show. Occasionally the system lets you peek into its inner workings. One instance was when the Democrats had complete control of the system after Obama’s election. Democratic senators took turns reneging on years of campaign promises to make sure no substantial reform took place that might impinge on the interests of wealthy campaign donors.

If the Republicans ever have control, you’ll see the same thing. Politicians who campaigned to end the Import Export Bank, for instance, will flip so Boeing and the like don’t have their profits hurt. They won’t all flip, just enough to make sure nothing changes and the game stays rigged.

zzzzzzzzz……same old gloom and doom reporting. Meanwhile, here in the business world, factories I deal with can’t produce fast enough for the orders they have. Local suppliers and laborers are loaded with work. Are we making the money we’d like? hell no. But it is wayyyyy better than the past few years. Is Obama a politician? you bet he is. Guess what, he can’t get re-elected. So quit bitching about now and start planning for the next election. Give us someone worth a shit to vote for. But for now, please shut up that everything is lousy ’cause it just ain’t true.
