The problem lies with a Government that is so completely out of touch, that they honestly believe that the nation as a whole is booming and gladly accepting all that they have done to us recently in Washington.
They see the country as they see Washington D.C., which because of all the artificial Trillions being printed and pumped back into growing Washington and the Government it supports, the results have to be working as they see it!
These ridiculous “renewable energy” projects have raised electrical costs, fuel costs, food costs and will eventually contribute to runaway inflation. But these idiots have no ability what so ever of understanding these basic economic principles.
They see themselves as being above the rules and that fundamental economic principles will never argue with them. That's because they see themselves as the chosen elite and that they and everything they do or decide is right, will guarantee their success.
Why else would they not read their several thousand page bills, pass them in the dead of night and make the claim that once the public learns what is in these bills, they will love everything that CONgress has done for them.
Their pomposity and arrogance is astounding!
Gore, Mr. "No controlling legal authority!" (and scads of others) - profiteering on phony "AGW", and even admittedly, providing ethanol subsidies for political advantage; notorious serial scoundrel Clinton declaring our low sulfur coal off limits to reward the Riady/Lippo group; and who knows how many deals made with the Saudis to keep our oil exploration and coal exploitation at bay.
The unending money laundering through unions and political donations; of course from the political class and entrenched bureaucracy, all the pandering and transfer payments to the "poor" masses for votes, and now facilitating the obvious, gargantuan, fascist, epic theft of wealth from the middle class taxpayers, and their progeny, to the wealthy financiers, corporate magnates, bankers, scammers and bloodsucking plunderers infesting this nation.
These corrupt people have to be dealt with immediately, en masse dismissed from office, indited, held in confinement, replaced by lottery and volunteer patriots at first, until we can form a just government that will be under the strict control of the vast middle class of this country. "Laws" and regulations passed by their usurped powers revoked, commitments made under their fiat rule repudiated, and claw-backs from the beneficiaries begun post-haste.
Otherwise we are dead.
