Posturing and Manipulating

While the President and Congress "haggle" over what is needed to curtail the current crisis, when actually each is just posturing to try to be crowned as the one who saved the world just in time, Wall Street is playing "hard to get", trying to get what they want. In the mean time we, the ones who are expected to foot the bill for this mess, sit ringside, wringing our hands, wondering if the sky is really falling.

If it is, we need to really reconsider the people we have elected to run our country. How could they allow it to get this far and why are they squabbling over pork barrels when disaster is just around the corner?

If it isn't we need to really reconsider the people we have elected to run our country. How could they give us the gloom and doom, end of the world as we know it scare, just to make themselves look good?

Either way, we end up the losers. Of course they will all try to paint us as the heroes who saved the economy. Without our courage and unselfish contribution, we certainly would have suffered a plight worse than ..... well ........... a really bad thing. Actually, we are the pawns big business and government are using to build themselves up more, while pushing us down lower in the social economic scheme.

As a result of our "courage", there will be higher taxes, rapid inflation and fewer raises at our level, because the top of the business pyramid will always come first in business - corporate -government America. So expect your standard of living to drop a notch or two, (Not that mine could drop much more, but there is always the "cardboard box house".) while the ones who really put us in this mess keep all they acquired while they raped, pillaged and plundered.
