Everybody has their favorite culprit. Bush. De-regulation and those who championed it for years. Fat cats on Wall Street. Bankers. Lobbyists.
I think all those types are partially to blame. But, who gave them position and license to create this mess?
Yes, the American people. And that's primarily who is to blame.
We, the American people, have continually been conned by the false gods that conservatives put out there to entice us to vote for them. Family values. Rugged individualism. Ownership society. Compassionate conservatism. Get government off our backs. Read my lips. Who are you gonna trust? San Francisco. East coast elite. Supply side economics. Tax and spend liberals. Culture of life. There you go again. Government is the problem.
Sound familiar?
These are among the many short-hand "tag lines" conservatives from Reagan to W have used to dupe voters into giving them power. Problem is that once in power these so-called conservatives have not done anything to follow through on their promises except to deregulate many sectors of the economy to enrich their donors and cronies.
Well, that game just came to it's natural and predictable conclusion. Crisis. And we're all going to pay for it.
Congratulations America. You got what you deserve.
The good news is that you, American voter, can change things by voting smart in November. Think about what your issues are, what your problems are and what local and national candidates can really solve...and who has the credibility to do it.
Is it really that conservative talking to you about family values and fiscal restraint? That person who has presided over massive debt while doing nothing on your values issue? Or, maybe it's the other candidate running in whatever race your looking at.
Think. Reverse where this country is heading.
