Corruption

As anyone with half a brain knows, that there is widespread corruption in our political process and especially in our Congress. For those who do not know how our government operates, Congress means the House of Representatives and Senate. (435 in the House and 100 in Senate) But we continue to elect these same corrupt politicians year after year. One thing you learn very quickly is that when a politician gets elected, no matter what his platform, he begins a Politician Action Committee (PAC) to start the process for his next election campaign. As you can see these elected officials have their priorities in order but it is not serving those who elected them. Take care of yourself, your friends, your political donors, your family, (sorry John Murtha) and if you have time, maybe something for your constituents. When was the last time you heard of a poor politician. If you did, he probably never got re-elected. Take Hillary Clinton for instance. She invested $10,000 in futures and made $100,000 in a very short time to the surprise of long time investors who never had such luck. I think she is so good and making money, she should have been in charge of the Treasury. Just think, we could solve our budget deficits by the end of 2009. Just look at all the earmarks that we see inserted in bills that help out political friends and donors. Highway to nowhere, sex research of prostitutes in Brazil and oh what we see today, the bailout of the auto industry just to save the UAW from suffering. We are going to spend $50 billion dollars in addition to the over $20 billion spent already to save 50,000 jobs at General Motors. I wonder how the other 6 million unemployed feel. Again, wake up American and study exactly what your representative has done for you lately. It it country first or donors, friends, family and constitutents.
