The more Pissed I get

I agree with Lex when he says:

Mostly this is just infuriating: Wall Street colluded with the political class to take on enormous risk at taxpayer expense, socializing the downside generally while keeping the profits all to themselves. When the whole thing tanked, the same folks come around to those of us busting our butts to pay the mortgage and send the kids to school while trying to salt enough away to stay out of the pet food aisles come the “salad days” – fully knowing that the Social Security Ponzi scheme will by then have played out – and then they have the gall to ask for even more money.

No wonder I’m grouchy……..

But I think there is more to it than just the anger that we have been used in order to create this financial crisis.

It is a total breakdown of trust in our government and business leaders.  For years we are told that they are the Pied Piper, follow them to the land of milk and honey.  For years we are told that we need to give more money to maintain the programs established for those who cannot (add your own).

It is the beginning of the general public saying :”nope, not one more dime”.  Not one more dime until you clean house and spend our money wisely.  Not one more dime for federally funded political funds like Fanny and Freddy. Not one more dime for lawmakers in Congress who make careers out of taking money from the taxpayers, putting it in their pockets and lying to us about it, then retiring better off than most of us.

The majority of taxpayers in this country had NOTHING to do with what happened with this meltdown.  It was caused by and fed by the politicians who we hired to run this country.  Who were placed in a position of trust and who misused and abused that trust for financial and political gain for themselves and their political party.  The fact that most, if not all were democrats I will leave at that.  It’s provable, it’s true, but I’ll leave it at that.  Both parties need to be hauled behind the woodshed for this because both parties have been raping us financially for decades.

This is NOT OUR FAULT, we should not have to pay for it.  And those most directly involved such as Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, Maxine waters and the others who turned a blind eye to the warnings, who ignored the warnings in order to keep this fiasco alive for their own good should be, at the very least, removed from their committee leaderships if not brought up on criminal charges and impeached.

These same people who were in the middle of causing this are the same ones that are put in the position of fixing this. This only allows them cover and the ability to sweep their very damaging actions under the rug.  Simply another opportunity for them to screw us over again.  The fact that Chris Dodd and Barney Frank are not recused and are involved simply indicated the level of corruption that exists inside the beltway.

It’s time to clean house.  It’s time to throw the baby out with the bathwater and fire all of them.  Start with a clean slate. Hire people who will clean house and leave it clean for the next group of leaders.

The only way to break the power structure in washington is to fire this already in power and imit their terms tothe terms as stated in the Constitution.  Only in this way can we prevent the cancerlike corruption that currently exists in our government.
