Every day I am reminded of just how stupid people are. We are told that there is waste in the different government agencies. We are told that there are abuses within the myriad of social programs.
Few listen and even fewer get angry. Those few that get angry are effectively mollified by the endless numbers of agency spokemen that always proclaim that steps are being taken to halt the problem.
Here is my beef with the people. Haven't you been paying attention? This isn't some sort of fluke incident. It is endemic to the entire system. It just gets worse and worse the more we look into it.
Take the case of Enron. It was all smoke and mirrors. We were told that government regulators shut this sort of mess down and it wouldn't happen again. Except, one of the government's most trusted ally's on Wall Street was named Bernie Madoff. Now we have the Goldman Sachs fiasco.
A rational logical human would realize that the SEC is smoke and mirrors. As it is just a small portion of the government, wouldn't it be prudent to accept the possible notion that if the subordinate is a piece of shit, the supervisory agency is too?
We have a national budget so out of proportion to tax revenues that it will come back to bite us. Congress makes the budget. Congress created the SEC and the Treasury as well as the Federal Reserve with the urgings of Wall Street bankers. OUR DEBT is unsustainable. OUR CONGRESSMEN created the debt.
Trust is earned. Betray it and we all suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, stupid people breed.
Our economy has died a long and painful death. All that's left is the eulogy and having the stupid people line up for their daily ration of soylent green.
