about this bill when there has been Billions and billions and billions (sounds like Carl Sagan eh?) given away for programs we know very little about...or even cared about.
Of course all the others are not being spun for a Presidential election. But just think about it....if the American people were as informed about pending any and all pending legislation maybe there would have been more benefit to we the people.
So to be all wound up about a paltry $700 billion because the media and the politicians are CONTROLLING the sheeple is a bit hypocritical.
How about an example? OK....let's see what could be legislation that would have much more significant impact on we the people? How about energy independence? We are up over $700 Billion per year being sent out of America EACH AND EVERY YEAR and growing....more than tripled since the 70's.
This problem that continues to surface several times a year just doesn't seem to bother us nearly as much. Now why is that?
The states of TN, GA and the Carolinas have been without gasoline for days.
We are maxed out on refineries...no nw ones in over 20 years. The vulnerability just waiting to implode will be a real catastrophe that will not go away as easily as the paltry $700 bail out/rescue. It is only a matter of time before it happens.
So why are we not clammoring about getting something done?
Look in the mirror. Because we the people are managed by the media and the politicians.
Yes I am ranting. But being one who does follow legislation that matters. That does write to legislators unfortunately me and the very few like me are so in the minority and the legislators and media know it that it just doesn't matter.
Just remember when your vehicles are parked in the drive way....no prospect of fuel for months and months....then the food and medical distribution becomes affected...then the lights don't come on like they used to...and so on.....doesn't that bother anybody?
Apparently not, so I really have a hard time understanding why the insignificant $700 billion that at least holds promise of some payback is such a big deal...except the media has led us there....no other answer.
Energy loss will make it pale by comparrison.
Anyway...the silent majority will raise when it is too late.
Get your candles and canned beans ready....what will we do when we can't turn on the TV to determine what to do? To believe?
It is only a matter of time....
