You would think this steep downturn would have some effect. But the legislative reform process is broken. Industry lobbyists have too much influence on every major industry issue. Apparently, the only thing that will fix the process is a major depression that galvanizes enough popular support for draconian solutions." I've long said so. Looking to parliamentary devices for a thorough cleaning of the fetid sewer that is our system is the very essence of naivete. Ours is a government of whores and whoremasters and the whole gang of these maggots needs to go. An enduring economic crisis with Rosenberg levels of unemployment - 12%-13% - just might ignite the only plausible remedy: Mass demonstrations and economy paralysing strikes. But what is particularly stupifying is this remark: "Not even critics accuse Barney Frank of being in the pocket of Wall Street." What part of the galaxy does this jackel occupy anyway? A look at Frank's performance in the recent Paul/Grayson vote alone gives one all the experience of him required to grasp just what a miserable little whore that Charlie McCarthy really is. When the time comes for the interrogations and the show trials, Frank's case will be #1 on the docket. Then, perhaps, we'll see a bit less of that best-defense-is-an-offense autograph of his. “Folks, this is how the U.S. government now operates.
