US underwrites fraudulent debt by banksters, saves taxcuts for wealthy, cuts heating aid to needy

Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 12:29 PM by blm

during one of the worst winters on record.

What's wrong with this country?

The corporate media's last few decades spent serving the agenda of the powerful elite has distorted perception of government's role beyond recognition.

1. But mustn't mention ...

... primarying Barack Obama.

No matter how many poor people go cold.
No matter how many more taxpayer millions go into the pockets of the plutocrats.

When are progressives going to get real?

3. Even those who want to be on OUR side fall victim to corporate media's ability to shape

'perception' so that the agenda of the powerful elite remains served at all times. It's up to the bravest and most compassionate to pressure those still willing in the WH circle.

5. They haven't cut heating aid yet, but there may be a proposal floating around.

Make yourself heard! Contact the White House and let them know what you think about it.

Contact your congresscritters, even if it doesn't help, it certainly can't hurt.

7. What's wrong with this country?

Simple, blm.

We suck. We're greedy and self-centered yet most profess to believe in the teachings of a certain hippie of old. JC was his nic, helping the sick and poor was his game. Love and forgiveness the center of his musings.
