Economic Treason
From Buzzflash:

"Senate republicans Give 700 Billion Of Our Dollars To Riverboat Gamblers On Wall Street But Block Effort To Shore Up An Industry Whose Demise Will Negatively Impact Millions Of People. This Is Economic Treason."

4. .. the problem is the CONgress......
I've said for a long while..(amidst all our trouble)... most problems stem from the fact that our "trusted" representatives in CONgress are bought and paid for lobbyists.

Most members in CONgress could care less about the people they are supposed to represent.
