Politicians will be politicians, protecting their jobs by not requiring companies to give 60-day layoff notices right before general elections, the OMB offering to reimburse companies for violating the WARN Act instead of raising the possibility that the general public would notice that their government representatives are pulling the wool over the eyes.

That, my friends, is what is wrong with our country right now.

It is time to look at the emperour’s new clothes once again and reveal what is right in front of your eyes but you’re too numb to notice.

Has the government of the United States become so brazen as to pull a stunt like this, the citizens unaware of how they’re being treated unfairly for the sake of a few votes?

If we don’t stand up for ourselves, who will?

Who are the people?

What happened to belief in the phrase, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”?

I just don’t know.

I have hesitated to repeat a popular word like sheeple but it sure seems to apply here.

No matter whether Bush, Clinton, Bush or Obama was/is in office, the middle class keeps getting squeezed smaller and smaller.

If the middle class cannot see what’s going to happen to them, what IS happening to them, should I care?

Are we going to ignore an important piece of legislation so candidates can look good, especially the incumbents?

Do young people know what’s happening to their future?

Sigh…the storyline is going the way it wanted to go, showing that governments have no power, losing to the reality that corporate governance is the new norm.

Why bother to vote?

You tell me…

I saw a native American leaning against a wall when I drove out of the Publix parking lot today.  He was wearing a shirt that stated, “The Original Founding Fathers”:

design includes Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Red Cloud

Enuf sed.
