The Two Faced Party

Tweet
You knew sooner or later the GOP (Gang of Pretense) would start bringing out the big guns.  Thaddeus (I just want to be on MTV) McCotter, a guitar-playing congressman from Michigan has thrown his hat into the ring for President.  He says he wants to have his say about the National Debt. I’ll bet he does.  He is a five term congressman and was part of the “We will show those Democrats how to spend money” Republicans from the last decade (Better known as the Bush Debacle), but now he wants to cry about the debt that he helped run up.
  
Why is it that the ones who shout the loudest about gays are usually in the closet and the guy telling you how honest he is is actually picking your pocket?  Also those who bitch the most about Federal spending are down slopping it up at the trough.  Here are a few examples of a number of two-faced Tea Party Republicans who are taking home the cash while moaning loudly about the out of control spending in Congress.

Last week one Republican-run House committee approved bills diluting parts of the financial law requiring reports on corporate salaries and exempting some investment advisers from registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Another House panel voted to slice $200 million from Obama's $1.4 billion budget request for the SEC, which has a major enforcement role.  Yes sir, the GOP (Gang of Pinochios) do love those Wall Street bankers.

According to the latest financial reports Wall Street is once again rich and healthy, but unfortunately Main Street is not doing so good.   Now let’s see, where do most of us live, Wall Street or Main Street?  The recession which ended two years ago has left no lingering effects on Wall Street. The Stock Market rallied 90% since the recession and of course 80% of all stock is held by 10% of the people.  Corporate profits and CEO salaries are up, yet hourly workers are making less than a year ago.  Unemployment is the highest and for the longest since the end of World War II. What is wrong with this picture?


Today's good read is Flash Foresight by  Daniel Burrus.  One of the better non-fiction reads I have come across. It will make you think about problem solving in a different way.
