It's Not Even Good Kabuki

[Louisiana1976]

Note: My loss of faith in government is nothing new. I’ve been distrusting government since 1965. We all have our personal points of view, and they’re all different. That is both unavoidable and entirely appropriate. We each negotiate the world as best we can, and we all struggle with highly complex realities in the face of varying degrees of information, misinformation, uncertainty and doubt. To complicate matters, very few people are interested in telling us the truth about much of anything while lying to us is a multi-billion dollar a year enterprise. Under such circumstances honest people may differ. What follows is my own personal POV. It is not intended as any sort of attack or disrespect to those of my friends here who may see things differently. Peace.

1. Excellent Post

I hope DUers will take the time to go read the dailykos post.

I've written elsewhere that this isn't a recession, it's an adjustment, and the working class is going to emerge much worse off on the other side. We're being sold line after line of optimistic BS trying to keep us occupied and consuming while the wealthy squeeze the last drops out of the economy (our pockets).

Americans are all sun bathing on the banks of a large river in Egypt.
