Apparently a deal is on the table, but suffice to say the high level theatrics we witnessed amongst the country’ so called leaders, while perhaps amusing to some of them, maybe thus far for many of us was the equivalent of watching a slow descent into a political style bar room brawl.  All of this while the well being of a nation in peril, wagered as leverage, hung in the balance.  The gravity of the situation struck such a chord from within the GOP, causing one of their own, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz to label some of the debt ceiling proposals from perhaps, shall we call them, the more fringe members; as “bizarro.”  I’ll do you one better how about the whole affair devolved into school yard shenanigans by a bunch of hooligans beating their chests.

While they continued chasing their tails, the clock continued to run.  Why not you consider this, how much of this sudden love affair with lowering the national debt is even real?  Help me understand where were the shrill cries of outrage when it first started climbing, and tell us did it just begin spiraling out of control three years ago, or maybe the hole was dug well before.   Some are capable of telling the truth for according to one of their own, the RedState’ Erik Erickson acknowledged on his July 21st radio show that the out of control spending spree did in fact start on George W. Bush’ watch.  Further describing on his July 28th show how “they didn’t stand up to the excesses of the Bush administration, ” Erick Erickson.

So where did this standoff’ feigned moral indignation leading to this eleventh hour compromise even come from.  How was it acceptable flushing billions of dollars down the drain on two wars, one of which now public knowledge should have never happened.  According to Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-GA lowering the tax rates will make corporations more competitive on the global markets, as opposed to record profits many are making now.    However as one corporate business owner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, I-NY, on This Week with Christiane Amanpour July 24th show noted the tax rate here is actually lower than many countries.  If that is true, and as a billionaire corporate business owner he should know, then exactly what is it these people, this gang of misfits and malcontents had to have to ride this dog and pony show all the way to the near end.   Exactly how low would exactly be acceptable to the business culture? I have a theory, how about no restraints for them at all!  I mean let’s start here eliminate one of their all time favorites, ALL CORPORATE TAX RATES, no government oversight at all; no restraint.  Followed by let’s do away with government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, allow corporate Goliaths to get their guns off dumping as much toxic everything, everywhere, why not? Let them orchestrate a love canal on every street coast to coast, that’s what they really want.   How about this one do away with the Securities Exchange Commission, let the insiders trade all day long, set up more exotic, fictitious products and other items, let them raze Main Street repeatedly until there’s none left, after all that’s what they want.  Problem is what would that kind of United States would that look like to the rest of us?  The U.S. of What? How about the U.S. no more.

Maybe how about this for a construct, one of deliberate self annihilation, because the United States exists and thrives as the only way it can by way of debt and slave labor.  Let us follow the dots, stay tuned……

While in and of itself capitalism is not inherently evil it is a convenient tool used by inherently evil people.   Much like guns, while not specifically designed for evil they are often adopted by evil men for evil deeds. What do you do, for there is no changing what’s in a person’ DNA, a man is by virtue genetically predisposed to certain behaviors, human behaviors such as slovenly greed, self hatred, megalomania-cal madness because how much madness do you have to carry to even be associated with what has left this country in the disarray it’s in.  To leave the country and it’s people fending for themselves, starting to resemble a national Katrina, with many American families just as broken and bereft as any of the flood survivors, except this was an economic tsunami orchestrated by forces of man not nature, meaning it should have been stopped but too many people were the beneficiaries.   And just like much of New Orleans today, the country continues to fall, nearly in tatters much of the damage done will leave many areas of the America and it’ people in the same boat, battered, bruised and ultimately on their own.

The country has not belonged to the people for quite some time, but then who doesn’t know this.   Stamped bought and paid for perhaps in some high priced auction or some back door deal made amongst corridors of some cloak room.  Well seeing as how the word has been passed around so fervently and quickly in the past and currently with the witch-hunt like committee meetings to ferret out “them,” why not also apply it where it most fits right now for what could be best described as an act as economic terrorism, the hijacking which sent the country’ economy spiraling into a freefall in the first place with many grinning and laughing all the way to their personal bank accounts.  Is there any question who the joke’s on?  I can say honestly like many of my fellow citizens I’m not laughing right now.  I’m sure we’d all just wish it were just another episode of that old show, Punk’d, sadly it’s not.

Initially economists, pundits, and officials alike declared it only a recession while scratching their heads over the depression like numbers, well finally many decided to tell the truth calling it what it is.  How about nixing the debate altogether by just asking those whom are living it do semantics really matter to their wallet, their very lives, which probably don’t know the difference.  Anyone dare explain how and why the gap between the rich and the poor has widened into a gorge like chasm, as if it were an accident.

Safe to say speaks volumes about a country continuing to promote itself as the richest in the world now boasting a population of poor which of late has seen a marked increase.  I imagine it’s something to be proud of to those it matters to in their ivory towers, many of the same ones who set the triggers in place then launched the attack, as well as those who let it happen despite the signs.

Twins, man and ego cannot, and will not be separated, poster child of dysfunction, specifically those who perpetrated this evil against the country, narcissistic card carrying members.  Better yet literally the walking dead, morally bereft.   It appears it’s mans love affair with his ego that is driving America to it’ ruination, a system that allowed it’ members to gorge themselves without consequence, but now we’re feeling the consequences rippling all across America.  Always been said watch out for home grown terrorism, the kind within your own borders, for instance, the term has been applied to tree huggers and others who rail against polluters amongst us and when they choose the extreme, becoming labeled eco-terrorists.  Question is why should it not also apply to any of those who either directly or in-directly had a hand in orchestrating and or setting the stage for this debacle facing the country, the plundering of America by it’ economic terrorists of which there are many cells.  The argument may be suggested how one consider anyone who participated in hurtling this country into the Great Depression II an economic terrorist.  Merriam’ Dictionary describes it as systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion, while this was more evident show of force than coercion, there can be no denying that for many citizens sitting right now amidst the wreckage of their lives this has been probably nothing short of terrorizing.  And why should America be considered on suicide watch and who’s watching, the act of suicide can be considered in and of itself a very selfishly self destructive act giving no thought to the many left behind.  In this case, segments of the country appear to have been on a deliberate kamikaze style mission aimed at willful destruction, content to take as many down with the ship as possible, namely a large majority of the American people, acceptable collateral damage I suppose in a society that worships capitalism.   Problem is those outside witnessing the self annihilation, and the many left behind namely the future generations for whom may not have much of a country left or one so greatly hallowed out it may not be the place to call home one day.

Given the current climate, behavior  and the conditions,  some of our brethren seem to be hell bent on it.  People, the propaganda machine has always programmed Americans into believing the threats are best feared from those “people” outside the country when the truth be told, it is the ones within our own borders that should concern us the most.  And the most powerful weapon is really green, crash a nation’ economy and you have a good chance of owning it,  exactly the actions of those who set off this firestorm except they are among us.   Chuck D and Public Enemy said it best in “Welcome to the Terrordome” and it’s always been a refrain I took to heart, staying with me over the years, from the school of tough love.  “It’s weak to speak and blame somebody else when you destroy yourself.”  From the looks of things 21^st Century America is well on the way.
