Last weekend Obama came out for cutting Medicare.  He has stated that we must cut social security as well since it is predicted to not have enough money in 2041.  this by economists who can’t predict the economic weather next month.

Totally broken country, totally. The sheer scale of the disaster that is the USA is mind-boggling, the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Never forget that most of your legislators are heavily invested in all the war profiteering companies. Thats why we keep bases scattered all around the world. It has nothing to do with protecting the United States citizenry, but only protecting the profits of the wealthy legislators.
Time to get angry folks!

Re: Idarad, you are exactly correct in your assumption that this is not the system of government it once was.
We are saddled with a broken and non-fixable system of governance that continues their corporate masters bidding at an enormous price to the citizens of this country and the world.
Taken as a whole, we the people are being screwed by the very system that is sworn to protect us, our rights and the way of life we have chosen. Yet, the corporations and their lackeys, the lobbyists continue their gi-normous spending sprees on weapons systems we have no need of, wars which are illegal and unethical, and to top it all off, these same corporations have broken the backs of the Congress and the Supreme Court, hell they already own the presidency.
One such corporation is the Federal Reserve System, it is the purveyor of lies and half-truths that have bankrupted this country and made mega-billions for them. This ‘Federal’ system of making fiat money, has
corrupted the very foundations of government that were the basis of true democracy and which are now nothing but a joke to those who own the ‘Federal Reserve Banking System.’
What will it take to regain control of this country?
A completely new system of government, whereby the people, the true government of the United States, take back control of the money making process and get us out of the debt-ridden money making system that we currently live under. 1913 was the watershed year for this country, in that year, we the people were totally and completely forgotten as a source of control and governance, the income tax, which is illegal and unethical, was instituted and has continued to break the backs of working people for the last almost 100 years. Yes it is time for another
tea party, but one which gives the power of governance back to the people and not the lackeys of wealthy corporate masters.

Has there been a more salient example that congress has no value as a part of the once heralded balance of power.  When Bush the lesser was playing dress-up for eight years, the republicans gave him every penny requested to commit war crimes and murder at will throughout the world.  The democrats almost showed enough of a backbone to oppose some of that funding, though could never get enough votes to withdraw the funding of the murder brigades.
Now with Obama asking for war crime money, the democrats all (with the exception of 30 principled members) voted to provide the funds while the republicans (who never showed any principles during their reign of errors) all the sudden find that funding war crimes and murder is not such a great deal.
This vote and the process exemplifies the broken system of government we are now saddled with and will continue to endure.
