Matalin, Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle and others had to come up with a scenario that would scare the American public into supporting the invasion of a soverign country. That’s when they hit on the brain storm of WMD’s and mushroom clouds.

I pray one day this group will be tried for war crimes against humanity. Because of their actions millions of Americans and Iraqis have been maimed or have been killed. If the true story ever comes to light this crime will dwarf the killing fields and the holocaust.

We the People know what’s going on. And instinctively we are remembering. 2009 will remind us of 1929. When all the numbers are clearly calculated and outed – we are all screwed! Thanks GOP – you came to fu(k us and you succeeded!!

The Neocons attempt to suggest that government is BAD – and then they go to work to prove it – by screwing up anything that ever worked. Hold on, the coming ride will be bumpy indeed!!

It’s a good thing her and Carville have no kids……..I shudder to think what kind of genetically mutated offspring those two would produce.

Wake up Mary, the country is in the shitter, thanks to your beloved Republics.

I couldn’t agree more. My fear is that we have gone beyond a ression. We are headed straight for a depression. Look at the number of people who are losing their homes or are about to lose their homes.

The City of Vallejo, CA is looking at filing bankruptcy. An entire city contemplating bankruptcy.

The sub-prime mortgages started the whole ball rolling. Credit cards are next. The news of people who are behind on credit card payments is huge. According to CardTrak.com, credit card delinquency rates are up 100 basis points in the past 12 months alone.

From the American Center for Progress: “The lending industry that no longer aggressively issues subprime mortgages continues to aggressively market credit cards, especially credit cards with subprime-like lending terms, such as a variety of higher fees that are poorly disclosed.”

All I can say is that I don’t see things getting any better. I’m planning for the worst and hoping for the best.

The consensus (of three :-) )seemed to be that this is economical warfare to create two classes; to eradicate the middle class completely and to transfer the wealth of this country to the few and the rest get nothing.

We now have one in 10 Americans in prison. I read a very powerful interview with a woman who wrote the book Love and Consequences: A Memoir of Hope and Survival. She was in the Bloods in South-Central LA, and she got out. She is the only one, of all the people she knew, that got out. Almost everyone else is either dead or in prison (btw, I highly recommend this interview – sorry, I don’t know how to do that ref thing): http://www.truthdig.com/interview/item/20080229_a_girl_gangsters_story_of_survival/ , (and make sure to read the one comment) but this one passage really drove something home.

Everyone was disappearing into jails. And it wasn’t just because of drugs. That’s a misconception. One homeboy, 17 years old, had been a foster kid. He had no priors; no nothing. What he did have was two homies staying at his house. He finally told them they’d have to leave and offered to help them move. The car broke down and they said they would go get another, meaning steal one. He didn’t want anything to do with that. He left on foot and they went and got another car. They ended up pulling around and told him to get in. He was in a Crip neighborhood and scared, so he got in. The police pulled them over two blocks later, and he’s got a life sentence in prison because he was deemed to have been an accomplice to a carjacking, which is seen as a “gang-related crime” and is thus sentenced under “gang enhancement” statutes. And that was it, even though the lady said in court that he hadn’t been there when they took the car. His life was over. Here’s a foster kid who worked his entire way through high school, tried hard, got a full scholarship to college and it all got taken away because he got into the car. Was that the best judgment in the world on his part? No. Did it deserve the kind of outcome he received? Hell no. In white communities I think they call that joy riding. And they certainly don’t hand out life sentences for it.

This gave me a little more insight into why we are building all those prisons (along with the number of people currently incarcerated), the severe poor, the blacks, the underclass are being shifted off into prisons, and the middle class is becoming the new poor.

I still have a hard time accepting this concept of their glee in ruining our nation – but I also had such a major case of cognitive dissonance over us invading Iraq for their oil that it took me more than two years to accept it.

Look at what is happening here. How many parallels are we seeing that lead up to the Great Depression?

Honestly, the right can say whatever they want. The fact that Bush didn’t know gas was approaching $4.00 a gallon (and the look on his face when he found out was a look of pleasure, not of horror) is but one more indicator that he is out of touch. But it’s really much worse than that; he doesn’t care. The people know what it is taking to get by. Now that equity has been tapped out and the home ATM is no longer functioning, people have turned to credit cards to survive. What’s going to happen when the credit markets implode like the subprime did, I don’t know. But I seriously fear finding out.

The FDIC has also revised the number of banking failures from 65 to 100 in the next 12 to 24 months.

Until march 1, ‘09.

Then, it will be a revisionist history of current events, that squarely places blame on the “do-nothing democratically-controlled congress,” for all the country’s ills.

When this toxic sack finally expires, the’ll plant her deep in the ground with a pile-driver, lest she accidently resurface.
