In 1960, Dwight Eisenhower "warned that the military industrial complex was taking over the country. What more proof do you need," looking at what's going on under Republicans and Democrats. "It's the ruling mindset of the ruling military in charge," complicit with political Washington, claiming a bogus national security threat.
Moreover, despite what they did and plan, "the American economy as well as much of the global economy is heading into the Greatest Depression. Everything they're doing (won't) salvage it....How is cutting back going to create more jobs? How (will it) fix the real estate (crash)? How is it going to fix the trade deficit problem?"
"It's not. The Greatest Depression is underway, and all they're doing is making it look as though they have a plan to stave it off. They're not going to!"
In fact, waging class war takes precedence. Waging imperial ones and rewarding corporate favorites requires making working Americans sacrificial lambs - losing their jobs, homes, savings, and futures.
That's political Washington's real agenda, obeying orders from Wall Street and other corporate CEOs, leaving them unrestrained to accumulate limitless wealth, by stealing it from ordinary people.
The entire debt limit crisis was a charade, a scheme to punish working Americans, Obama the point man to do it, and who better than the nation's first Black president, a Democrat doing what no Republican would dare.
Despite 75% or more of Americans wanting Social Security and Medicare left untouched, and large majorities supporting higher taxes on rich elites, their wishes don't matter.
Instead, duplicitous "shared sacrifice" was hyped, America's media in the lead regurgitating it - their customary support for wealth and power, leaving out all others.
