America's Fire Sale
What are we going to tell our children after we've dismantled not only the entire public sector, but mortgaged their legacy in order to give it all away to make the rich even richer?

"Hey, it was fun while it lasted"?

I know that people don't actually know anything are loathe to admit that they've been wrong about everything that they knew, but the people who have supported all of this crap are going to have to wake up sometime. Voting against ones own best interests must have a fun factor that I've really misunderstood. Is it actually that satisfying?

They can't go on blaming other people for the trouble that they themselves caused… Can they?

Naaaah. I forgot for sec… This is America.

Scapegoating is our national pastime.

The fun will continue.

1. And America is la la land! We're delusional enough here to totally "F" the
world and ourselves, future generations too and feel good about it saying look what we brought you, ain't it wonderful!

2. It's not voting against THEIR OWN best interests.
It's about voting against the interests of others.

It's about convincing (or being convinced) that the "undeserving" would get an ufair advantage.

3. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
That's the mind set.

Unfortunately.
