The Politicians on both sides are ugly - esepecially the republicans who are twice as ugly.
Basically - the only thing that both republicans and democrats care about is getting re-elected.
Both parties are at constant war over the pie - also known as the GDP.
Today's version of the
Republicans are only interested in representing the interests of the military-industrial complex, the large corporations and financial industries, and the Ultra-wealthy.
Today's version of the
Democarats are only interested in representing the interests of the military-industrial complex, the large corporations and financial industries, and the Ultra-wealthy and
a subsidy barely above the poverty line for everyone else
The result of this is both political parties have been "Kicking the can down the road" for a couple decades now. The results is a debt (that does not include unfunded social security and medicare) that has risen to crises levels of our GDP.
http://www.usdebtclock.org/#Also The result of the USA financial crises has been the "need" to print massive amount of money and hand it all over to the "Financial Industrial Complex" so that they can replenish their balance sheets, refinance their debt and pump up asset prices like stocks. Take a look at just how much money has been "printed" since 2008.
( this is accomplished through the federal reserve printing money and handing it over to the banks at 1/4 % who in turn buy US Treasuries earnings between 2.0% - 3.5% - the banks pocket the spread and this is how they got free money in the billions of dollars - except it is not free because you and I the taxpayers will pay that 2.0% - 3.5% interest on the US debt for the next 10 years )Just look how much money has been printed in order to bail out the rich in this country - but as always the masses will be the ones "paying the bill" over the next 20 years through higher inflation, less purchasing power and just a crappier economy and standard of living.
At least the democrats are trying to see that some
crumbs make it to the masses - republicans could give a Sh@t.
The primary socialism that has existed in the USA for the past 30 years has been 'Socialism for the Rich". This is where the ruling class has received 100% of all the profits and gains during this time - but when the debt and leverage bubble exploded i 2007 - 2008 , the ruling class successfully transferred all the losses to the government - i.e. the people you and me.
This is what is meant by Socialism for the ultra-rich - i.e. also known as the Ruling Class - - they keep 100% of the gains and successfully transfer all of the losses to the government. And believe this, they control both the democrats and republicans.
In the end both parties and the system are completely corrupt - money is what drives all decisions by our government leaders.
However, it is the citizens of the USA who are at fault for the current state of affairs and not the ruling class and their puppets known as the elected officials.- we have the vote to change whatever we decide to change or fix - we can elect our politicians with the mandate to make decisions and construct a economic system that is geared for creating middle class jobs, increasing more wealth generation and well being for the larger masses of the USA population - this was the type of government that existed in the USA from 1900 until it ended sometime around 1980. During this time for the most part our government worked very well for the majority of the citizens in the USA.
