Little Factoids and why America is in Trouble

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

As we argue over which candidate is best and over the issues they use to inflame the electorate, Immigration,Abortion, Free stuff etc, carpet bombing ISIS

Here is the sobering truth ( I am just using Goldman Sachs there are many other ties to Big Financial institutions)

Obama received massive donations from Goldman Sachs and His Attorney General is best friends with and represented the CEO, among many appointees in the Obama admin

Goldman Sachs is Hillary's second leading top donor along with Citigroup, JP Morgan etc

Ted Cruz has Goldman Sachs as his 4th Top Donor and His wife works for Goldman Sachs

Guess who comes in at 1 for Rubio--Goldman Sachs

Oddly enough George Bush's top donors were ... Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and he also had many appointees from the Big banks and Brokerage houses

Remember the 2008 meltdown when Big companies made billions with shady dealing and got govt bailouts and fines that were pennies on the dollar. Bush and Obama bailed them out

Congress is bought and paid for also.

So if you really think Obama brought change or he was any different for the country than Bush, you are delusional

If you think Hillary is going to do anything different than Cruz or Rubio or vice a versa you are also delusional

The way I see it we only got two shots at real change. A Commie Hippie Marxist and a Egomaniac fruit loop who has not put forth one substantial idea

Sad but that is the sobering truth.

It's true. Money owns the country. I am hoping one day the people wake up and realize this and stop paying lip service to it. Money is destroying the political system here. It's really so, so frustrating to see people give politicians a pass on this. They are supposed to keep these criminals in line but they don't care. No criminal charges after the 2008 recession despite the fraud. It isn't right.

I like Muse's song Uprising. Appropriate lyrics.

He is pretty close. He calls himself a socialist. In any case, compared to most politicians in the US he is a commie marxist hippie (not entirely in a bad way, since most politicians in the US should be floated out to sea on rafts without water).

How would the rafts float if the seas had no water?

A busload of Congressmen ran off a rural Arkansas road and overturned in a ditch near a farmer's field. The farmer inspected the scene, then took a shovel and proceeded to bury the Congressmen.

The sheriff soon arrived, and he was astonished at what the farmer had done. "Were they ALL dead?" he asked the farmer.

"Well," said the farmer, "some of them said they wasn't, but you know how them politicians lie."

Pffff.. Problems that can be fixed by legislation or a decision somewhere are not "real" problems for a country. People can rise up and this can be addressed tomorrow, things like bad education can be addressed and in the short run addressed by importing smart people, etc, etc, etc...

The problem is the debt... The debt... the debt.

I don't care what the government spends or does not spend or what programs are proposed If step #1 is not "fix the debt" then anything else proposed is garbage.

so corrupt infrastructure means nothing? you're never going to touch the issue of national debt so long as generating debt is the primary sustenance of the working class.

Of course it is important and yeah it should be fixed.. Like many other problems its political and personal will that can fix it.

It makes no difference if we are in a no win position.

In January in Venezuela the opposition *finally* won elections and has a super majority. They will do whatever they need to do to fix the country, they will change everything... It makes no difference.. They overspent for 15+ years on socialist programs they could not afford and borrowed every dollar they could.. Now their payment for the *interest* to china alone is 800,000 barrels of oil per day. The inflation is so bad that last week they used thirty+ 747s filled with nothing but new currency because they can't print it fast enough in their own country. Before the end of 2016 we will be sending emergency aid to keep people from starving to death in this country. There is nothing they can do to avoid it.. nothing.

Spending beyond your means for a protracted period of time takes generations to fix and can even permanently knock out a country.

That is why America is in trouble.

You must have exceptional vision and a steady hand to split that hair so well.

You take great umbrage elsewhere at being told what you think. I wonder why you're so quick to tell others what they think.

i didn't tell him what he thought. anyone who reads varied sources of media knows that the word socialism scares the bejeezus out of a particular percentage of the american population.

are you offering to make nb a sandwich? poor fella
