No it's a way to get the electorate fooled into thinking you're doing it just right so they r- elect you.
I just heard on the news Ford and General Motors are on the brink. How does that feel? You can drive to get your dole money in your cheap imported car made by some low paid worker in the Far East.
But still some believe the people who got us into this crap are the ones we trust to get us out. They will get themselves out of it and fuck the rest of us.
