Through the Looking Glass Politics



Wow!



What’s wrong with this picture?



If anybody has read any of my posts, you’ll know that

I’ve been preaching to the choir that it’s necessary to get

Of the Iraq one note tune and start fixating like crazy on the economy

And the issue of jobs.



This is even before we decided to allow the one remaining leg of the economy, housing, to collapse into a dead heap.



Yes, we can ask ourselves how did we manage to exacerbate things,

And then find ways to rationalize the Bushian solution which is Hoover-like with the addition of “meanness” and intent.



There is almost a latent cruelty about this administration.



It’s not only make as much money as we can for the few but to screw the public at large.



It was okay to con the people into unpalatable loan arrangements but it became the people’s fault for accepting them. Figure that one out. It’s like Double Indemnity all over again.



Nevertheless, the right wing is very successful in treating the rest of us like bad children.



They dump credit cards with unbelievable options into our laps (Most of us don’t read the small print), then punish us when we use them.



One might ponder who in God’s name is looking out for us.



And it’s almost too late to ask the question because nobody is….



Most people are suffering just trying to put food on their plate and keep the roof over their heads; but the rich right doesn’t want to know about them; they’re still saying that by easing their taxes it will be better for all of us.



And the lie of the generation gets bigger and bigger and nobody holds their toes to the fire.



Things are so out of whack now, it’s getting harder and harder to even know where to begin.



How do you define an Autocracy after all?



Is it the few of the top have all of the wealth?



If that’s it, we qualify.



We also qualify as being a banana republic exporting scrap and our vital natural resources and importing manufacturing goods at a loss every month to the tune of nearly one trillion dollars to the Chinese mainly.



I suppose there is some satisfaction to that after all.



While the Middle Class erodes in front of our eyes, at least we don’t have the responsibility to worry about the country because we don’t own it any more.



With rationality long gone, one must ask themselves how most of us managed to pop up on the other side of the looking glass…



The party that has promised us smaller government has grown so large it keeps falling all over its own shoes.



It’s not a pretty sight out there.





In the meantime, our only candidates are out there debating whether Martin Luther King could have really made it without President Johnson?







Anyone for tennis?
