You have most TV anchors talking about one single criminal case in Florida relating to a little girl and her mother, and the dysfunctional family the mother hails from.
Thirty eight thousand people who are uninsured die in The USA every single year. And more than likely, another thirty eight thousand die due to the insurance they have paid for stone walling them while they seek desperately needed treatment.
Now the Milton Friedman-forces are about to stage the final dance on America's dance card. Social Security is officially "an entitlement" that will be chopped away from Americans, despite the fact that until the Milton Friedman policies crashed the economy starting in 2006, the Social Security Fund was achieving something few governemnt programs have known - a surplus.
This program had, until the last fifteen moths, a two point one Trillion dollar Surplus.
Yet chop it the Democratic/Republican collusionaries will.
Obama was all smiles last night as he spoke about the great advances the meeting of minds had accomplished. He is the smiling face of the One Big Money Party, and woe be tide to anyone who speaks differently. After all, does someone want Newt Gingrich or Donald Trump seating in his seat? Or horror of horrors, Sarah Palin or Bachman?
But those of us who were educated at a time when history was still taught in our grammar and high schools remember this one salient fact: someone like FDR would not even have met with those bastards yesterday! A President who cared about the Middle Incomed would have used the Bully Pulpit of the WH to trumpet the fact that the American people have already given enough - the support for two onerous unending wars, and the December 2010 continuation of the Tax Cuts, all of which support very few jobs for Americans, are enough, and no more is needed.
I guess that President will remain elusive and someone I see only in the TV of my solitary mind. He or she certainly will not spring forth from the loins of either of these dastardly Give Away to the Rich, Socialism for the Elite, bought and paid for Political Parties.
