The cost of THE war

is over 3 trillion dollars and that is probably not actuate. China and Japan hold this debt for us. Yes, we have borrowed money to pay for this war. We have borrowed money from China and Japan.

Yes in years past America sold US Savings bonds to help pay for wars. At least then we were not beholden to foreign countries like we are now. You think they have us over a barrel? (more on that "barrel" later).

Guess where that 3 trillion dollars went... in whose pockets? Give? Well here it is...Blackwater, Halliburton, GKB and about 100,000 other companies (some ran by retired US generals and colonels) over there in Iraq. We are borrowing money from other countries to pay American companies. And so much of the money gets wasted! Yes, wasted! See the DVD "Iraq for sale: war for profiteering"! Is there something wrong with this picture or is it just me? Do you think we are selling our security right out the window? Oh, we have already done that... Arab companies in Dubai are contracted by our administration to guard our shores and ports. And Bush is proud of this! Hello! So much for domestic security! Yes, we have out sourced our shores and ports to a third world company.

So is it any wonder why Boeing has pieces of the 878 being contracted out to about 20 companies all over the world...mostly though in Japan and China?

What happens if China and Japan say. "Hey, we want our money right now!" And here's a another stupid thing this administration (which according to Michael Moore is getting big time kick backs) is doing....importing cheap labor. So, there goes the income tax base which this government has depended upon and wasn't enough...so they borrowed. And the war is needless in the first place. It's over oil you know....we just want to control the oil ...so we can build big ass SUV's that are gas guzzlers and waste the oil until is use every last drop. Yes, if you buy a hummer you can get a tax break. It's so blatant and obvious what is going on ....greed...pure greed ....

And if good jobs are out sourced (no income taxes being turned in to the government there) and cheap (probably mostly illegal) paying workers are being imported (no income taxes being turned in to the government there) how will this debt to China and Japan ever get repaid? And a Democrat senior in CNN says...well we can't get 60% of the vote when there are only 50% democrats in the senate. The guy didn't seem too worried either. Personally, I believe both parties think about the same. Like Lou Dobbs says in 2004 both republican and democratic candidates came from Yale and both belonged to Skull and Bones ( a elite secret Yale society).

It is my personal opinion and it saddens me but I truly believe no one cares about the future of this country and only live for the day and filling up their pockets with money. There is no honor in this dog eat dog economic world when it comes to CEO's who are in cahoots with government.

Even health insurance companies wait to approve surgeries probably in hopes you will die in the mean time. Or you need a series of surgeries and they decide to bail on one or two of them. I know one incident where a little girl was born with a heart valve problem and had surgery which was covered...but hospital doctors said she would need another surgery at age 12...well after the little girl turned 11 the health insurance company cancelled her. Now what insurance company is going to pick up a little sick girl with a previous condition?

It saddens me that life means nothing ......the bottom line is what counts any more. It's all about getting the money. Show me the money.

In years past CEO's made about twice or not even twice the wages their managers made...now it's 400 times what their managers and workers make. Just how much money to you need?

No one cares about the human element! No one cares about the global effect of industries and corporations evil ways.

And how about banks and loan companies ripping off loan applicants? Falsifying loan application information. Making people think the American dream of owning a home is possible...and in two years the loan balloons and they didn't get a better job in the interim and they find that the house is being foreclosed. One neighborhood shown on TV was vacated, empty, due to foreclosures and the houses where ripped apart by vandals for pieces to sell.

Will either party ever care? We live in a reactive society, not a proactive society. In other words our politicians will wait until things get really bad until they TRY to do something about it...well then of course they will argue between parties for while and hardly nothing will get done anyway. Just like they think the market will correct itself...yeah right! Like they say ..you can't go on what has happened in the past. For one thing nothing in the past has ever been like this....

What is have today is a global economy of selfish, greedy, thieves...who will possibly turn this country into the likes of a third world country...the very poor and a small group of extremely rich. The middle class is shrinking at a fast rate now...look at all the people who have over extended debt on credit cards and soon will not even be able to pay the monthly payments. Most people are a month from homelessness...if they should lose their jobs.

But, we refuse to see what is happening.....until, that is, we are forced to, when it's too late.

Maybe I'm all wrong... I certainly hope so!
