A few conclusions I have reached.... Do You Agree? [View All]

[Blackhatjack]

#1 --Having Michele Bachmann rise to a leadership position in the GOP could not be better news for all Democrats. People like Bachmann pushing the GOP even further to the Right, and helping to oust 'moderate' Repubs, will expose themselves as the rigid ultra conservatives with zany ideas to the independents --who will be influential in the 2010 elections. Maybe she will team up with Palin!

#2 --Today, when corporate executives testify untruthfully before Congress, sometimes over and over again, they have absolutely no fear of criminal prosecution or civil sanction. Take a look at the testimony of execs from the Financial, Energy and Insurance Industries testifying before Congress. They appear to have no fear, and in fact exude arrogance.

#3 --Republican members of Congress have no worry about putting out clearly provable lies to the MSM. When they unequivocally state that the Government will encourage suicide and that it is included in the bill, they know the MSM will have their back ... and will never present evidence to viewers which shows it is a lie. It could be called aiding and abetting...

#4 --Health Insurance Companies are in a 'heads we win, tails you lose' position in regard to the pending Healthcare Reform Bills pending in Congress. A bill passes and they get 70 million new premium paying customers required to buy their services. A bill does not pass, they raise rates to make up for the millions spent lobbying Congress. This is true even though the President's HCR bill brings many improvements over the present environment.

#5 --We are far from out of trouble regarding the economic downturn, financial crisis and unemployment spike. Not enough jobs, loss of homes, loss of credit sources... what do we have left to lose? The present credit rating system almost ensures that people who have never missed a payment will suffer credit impairment, higher rates and new fees, while the financial heavyweights continue to use taxpayer money at close to 0% interest rates to shore up their bottom lines. Banks win, consumers lose. Anyone seen the Middle Class lately?

#6 --It appears that job outsourcing is picking up speed rather than slowing down. And corporations which fleeced Middle Class workers are looking for future profits overseas --not in the US. So how do we create jobs in a private sector that has given up on the Middle Class? We need Government regulation(sticks) to go along with the financial incentives(carrots).

#7 --THe price of oil continues to go up, along with gas prices. And speculation in the stock market continues to reward those who produce nothing of value to the economy. Even so, energy profits are rising along with Financial concerns.

#8 --Without campaign finance reform there won't be any real change in Congress. Money talks, and money talks ...
