Democrats & Republicans work together to steal from the current pile of money collected & from the future, by borrowing money we don't need
The problem is not government, which is absolutely necessary to reign in free markets (responsible for our financial meltdown). The problem is getting honest individuals in our regulatory bodies & elected offices
Corporate influence is the bogeyman here, not government
Google - Brooksley Greenspan - & you will start to see the truth

Our govt protects corporate rights. Supreme Court granted personhood to corps in 1886. Now "they" give unlimited secret political contributions. Arguments for 5th amendment rights have been argued for in court
Corporate decisions are made by REAL PEOPLE
Corps given personhood protects accumulated wealth of corp officers as "employees"
Abolish corporate personhood, eliminate parachutes, corp officers on regular retirement benefits tied to future corporate health, like the rest of us

the richer should also contribute, it's like the euro crisis, in France, the richer pay less taxes and the germans don't want to pay for all thoses corrupt greecs that bypass taxes by putting their money to Switzerland. In the prisoner's dilemma, if no one wants to pay, the price people will have to pay will be greater than if everyone contributed a little

CORPORATIONS PROFIT
Repubs caused most liabilities for 31 years with 3 unfunded wars, an extra $600 billion in unfunded Medicare drug act & 5 administrations of wealthy's tax cuts
The 1990 Reagan-planned/Bush-executed Force Modernization Act reduced our military by 500,000 over 10 yrs w/many jobs now corporately contracted
Democrats have failed to do anything & helped destroy us by enabling Free Trade deficits in Clinton's reign, benefitting transnational corporate middlemen & China

How ironic: the CBO just estimated we would reach 100% GDP to debt ratio by the end of this year.

Our growing deficits & debt is being orchestrated by corporations & banks bribing govt legislators/regulators & sucking wealth out of our economy & future generations.
Corporations are the bogeyman & the route by which our govt $ are drained
Budget for the last 3 wars we are involved in? $4.3 TRILLION. The amount paid to our soldiers & their families? $32 Billion. OVER $4 TRILLION going to corporations like Haliburton's Blackwater, defense contractors, other corp contractors

Govt did not "screw up" all by itself. Banking regulations were relaxed at the request of banks. "Requests" are made thru lobbying efforts, contributions, jobs, or cash bribes. Julie Gerberding, Arthur Hayes, Billy Tauzin are examples of how industry buys politicians & regulators
When banks no longer held the mortgage notes they stopped verifying credit worthiness, leading to "liar's loans. Banks made up front fees, bundled & sold mortgages, bribed to have them rated AAA

Ok, Missy, I am going to give you a quick lesson in economics. Currently the nations debt is about a 1:1 ratio with GDP, or national production. Many companies run as high as 3 to 1 debt to income ratio. What's the major difference? Companies expect to grow, thus earning revenue to create profit & pay down debt. Debt is not bad when one can use the money to expand & increase. The US problem is that it is losing jobs and mainly due to US based companies. Control spending, increase revenue & jobs

Loser. Google "From Bubble to Depression?" and read the entire article by Vernon Smith, a Nobel prize winning economist and founder of experimental economics. He explains why government screwed up and inflated the housing bubble.
