A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Anti-Debt Campaign Has Wall Street Roots: Truthout

Why would anyone be surprised that the so-called Anti-Debt Campaign has its roots on Wall Street? According to Truthout, Wall Street tycoons such as Peter G. Peterson have invested huge amounts of money to influence the public discussion on the campaign.  Trying to make their push appear to be a grass-roots effort has evidently been one of their major goals. 

My friends, this is evil!  There is no other word for it.  And making it all the more so is the effective collusion between Wall Street, the Republican Party, the White House, and the press, all of which would have us believe these cuts are necessary.  This is hubris!  It is a lie!  And it is unconsionable!

The article below gives details.  Why are we the American people so seemingly somnolent?  I think it is a combination of misunderstanding, and something like an intellectual hang-over or overload.  It is going to take a long time to unravel all that has been these last twelve years.  The post-9/11 period will surely be rated along with the period following the sinking of the Maine as being a time of oligarchical bluster, and plutocratic putrescence* of the highest order.
