Government Observations and Annoyances

September 12, 2009

The U.S. no longer produces much except cars and agricultural products so we import most everything including those things! The transition to a service economy has been going on for decades. The financial sector especially, does not produce wealth except for a few at the top and it depends on everyone else including government to make it a success. Kind of like a government.

And as for attorneys... they are the biggest bunch of service parasites ever and have been around as long as prostitutes. Like ticks, they attach and suck on our economy with little positive in return. Bill Shakespeare said centuries ago that we should kill them all. Unfortunately there is a law against it. I would trade ten illegals for each attorney and those traded attorneys would have to leave the US permanently. Now THAT would be a start.

Obama is like those before him except he is more up front about what he wants. He just lays it out there and says government is the answer. Dubya increased the size of government, even more than Clinton did after he said wouldn't. Then he and the Republicans  tried to hide behind the myth of fiscal responsibility that they claim to have.

The result....a bigger government that grows each year and at every election, politicians promise to cut it. And they don't.  They are all the same, with the same bullshit and song and dance.

Incredibly we believe it their promises and this meets the definition of insanity... doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!

Government is not the answer to society's woes but it is necessary in a simple form.  We need to follow the Constitution as it exists but court rulings have modified its application. Attorneys are again the driving force in this political perversion.

Government's main responsibilities are to protect its citizens collectively and individually and to clear the way for commerce.

The people do not have any power, individually or collectively.... businesses run everything. There are probably a dozen lobbyists per person in Congress and that's probably too low. It is they who run the government.

Further, about 10 per cent of the U.S. working population works for a government agency (federal, state, local) and probably several times that percentage work for businesses that rely on "the government" for their income. The net effect is that "the government" has a BIG influence.

Big companies like insurance, drugs and banking are the biggest service whores after lawyers. They talk out of both sides of their mouths... demanding no more big government or regulation and low taxes and at the same time take government money for their services and now bail outs. And... the politicians who supported them while in office end up working for them after they leave!

Crap! When will it end? Probably never!

It has been going on since before we were a country. That's how the original colonies were established... companies were set up to create a colony in America with profits sent back to England. Of course the King got a cut.

It's good to be the King!
