...but what do they care? They're all set up for the rest of their lives with tax payers money footing the bill for their retirement, medical and all the other perks of a government employee, so why should they care what happens down the road. They have no sense of reality in the real world, no idea of life from the working stiff point of view, other than what they learned in Harvard. |

Suz...truer words have never been spoken. Politicians are the same the world over...they are in it for what they can get out of it. There were days when being elected was an honour, doing the job was an honour, and the perks were minimal...but not these days. The bastards have voted themselves massive salaries and untold financial benefits for life. It is the same over here. This "debt ceiling" thing is what concerns me...what will be the eventual outcome of the whole affair? The Chinese are sitting back rubbing their hands together because they won't care if the US economy goes down the gurgler...they want the Yuan to become the primary currency in the world. I can see the future looking rather bleak for quite a number of countries. Big business has a lot to answer for...it is greed that has bought the economies of many nations to the point they are at now. Cheers, Vince |
