I can't take it!
We the People are staring down the barrel of a gun looking our economic death squarely in the eye and all we get (as usual) from our elected "leaders" is finger pointing and political posturing! Both Republicans and Democrats attempting to politicize the problem as a means of gaining ground in the upcoming November elections.
Is there anyone at this point who cannot see how it is this very same partisan behavior that has brought us this mess to begin with?!

Both Republicans and Democrats attempting to politicize the problem as a means of gaining ground in the upcoming November elections.

President George Washington, in his farewell address, ardently warned of the inevitable corruption that would follow if our Nation were to allow political partisanship among our elected officials. In the same address he stressed that if we embraced the views of a specific Party, rather than a strict adherence to the Constitution, that the leaders of that Party would attempt to create division among us simply to expand their own power.
Well, I believe it safe to say, if he were able to see what is going on today in our government he would slap the stupid out of us for blindly buying into the rhetoric of whichever Party we cling to, and for allowing these clowns to stay in power!
Regardless of which political party you side with it's time to snap out of it and face facts, because the truth is that they are all culpable. Republicans. Democrats. Take your pick, because every last one of them has blood on there hands!

And for those of you who are actually buying into the finger pointing and claims of innocence by the Donkeys, take a look at the video I've placed below. It might add a sour taste to the kool-aid you've been drinking.
As you can see, it doesn't take more than a few minutes of objective, non-biased observation to realize that both parties in collusion with the Federal Reserve created this mess through over taxation, bad monetary policy, even worse fiscal policy, unbridled spending, and misuse of the regulatory powers already in place to protect the American people. We just have to open our eyes to see it.
What worsens the blow is that our elected officials as well as the power brokers at the Fed have known about this oncoming freight train for some time now, but, instead of telling the American People the truth about our rapidly deteriorating financial standings, they consistently manipulated economic data to create the illusion that everything was "just fine". Why? To maintain power? Probably, but that excuse seems a bit weak considering the severity of the damage. So, Why then?

I believe this is the question that must be asked. Why would so many men and women who are elected by claiming to be true, loyal, and patriotic Americans so regularly bite the hand that feeds them, to the extent that the very sovereignty of our nation has been placed in jeopardy?
I'm not certain that that question can be answered with absolute surety, but regardless of the reasons as to why they did it, the fact remains that if you or I had committed even a fraction of the "indiscretions" that our politicians, bankers, and billionaire corporate executives have made to get us to this point we would be on our way to JAIL!! There would be no presidential pardons for 'Joe Blue-collar'! No slaps on the wrist that come with multi-million dollar bonuses. Just four walls, a mattress, and a toilet. And rightfully so!
In my opinion, the actions and inaction's of every person involved warrant criminal charges for fraud, embezzlement, grand larceny, insider trading, and the list goes on. Every single one of them should be thoroughly investigated, charged based on their involvement, sentenced without prejudice, and sent to prison.

Until then, 'We the People' are on the losing end of this disaster and will suffer the most for the actions of the 'ruling Elite'.
Just another day in America....
