Senator DeMint (R-LO) has managed to piss me off...
with one phrase.

Paraphrasing: Some say the Saudi's and Chinese have bought our debt and trying to control and dictate our national economy.

I am so pissed. This is one of the most misleading shitty statements. Why? Yes, our debt has been sold to these countries...but who did it?! Less regulations and the privatization of debt. Republicans are the ones who promoted the privatization of everything in order to make it marketable. So everything goes into Wall Street. They invest in our debt because they get a vested interest on the returns. Not us.


And when we nationalise the damn things, then it goes back to OUR country, to the US. Not to China. Is he a buffoon?! This is ridiculous.

He's talking about honesty and people aren't being honest, he's actually being misleading which is dishonesty. They sold this land, they want to sell our health care and it's already sold in my eyes, we (the people) have become commodities to be traded on the market, and our debt is tradable because of Republican capitalist misuse and abuse.

Now he's claiming they're changing our national economy through their control of the debt? Who sold our control?

We lost our sovereignty when we gave these Corps. full freedom and they sold our debt. Then little by little they sell our nation away. For example when water was going over the levees in this past storm the pundits and MSM kept saying some of the levees are not secure because they belong to foreign owners. Are you hearing this?

Now he's saying they're trying to control. They took control and the Repubs sold it over.

1. The person that you are indebted to controls your future.
And the Pukes have mortgaged our future as a nation to those that would seek to do us the greatest harm.
