Cleaning the thought table

If America is the melting pot of the world does that mean that when the pot boils the scum raises to the top?

Congress has time to explore the possibility of a single base ball player that may have lied about drug uses and no time to understand the TARP money used to save the financial institutions a couple years ago? For years the administration had economists  sit before congress and say the economy was fine. Then one week-end the banks needed 750  billions of dollars to save the banking systems around the world. Who needed it, who did it save, who did it profit? Who paid?

 GM is making profit now but it is hiring no one?

No time to investigate why the Army Core of Engineers have not really fixed the levees of New Orleans against a flood.  It is this the Army Core of Engineers that Congress wants and has designed?

Why a half billion raw eggs in this country are produced and laying around in warehouses?  The eggs are six months old but stamped eat in two weeks on the grocery shelves.

Our fighting force left Iraq this past week, but 50,000 soldiers remain along with of 72,000 contractors of the pentagon, daily on our bill as taxpayers. All lightly covered by media and ignored by most, unlike the start of this war.

The religion of Muslims, the brown skinned Mexican has replaced the Jews, the gypsies and the communists of the 1930's for the dominating Christians of the western world for this economic down turn.  We can paint the blame game with fresh paint for the failure of the free market system and the greed of the elite.

As Frank Rich points out in his NYT article Murdocks' News Corporation, Fox network,  the second largest investor in the business is a Saudi from the royal family.  Money of New Corp. recently invested in a Saudi media company. The hypocrisy does not end there, Petraeus is working to win Muslim hearts and minds while in the U.S. Muslims are called very filthy name in the book.  Maybe the whole smoke screen is really about some GOP politicians in NY that don't want a conversation about their vote against health care this election cycle.  Really it is not a mosque it is culture center and it is not at ground zero.  Fox hysteria again focus the country on the wrong issue.

 Ventura, Ca.  allows sleeping in the car, their ordinance is patterned after two other cities that have already worked out the details.  Welcome to the new American, the land of mansions and bedroom cars.

The free market will take care of these problems.  The money will filter down.  The rich will invest to create more jobs.  Please extend the tax break for the rich, this country has done so well with that plan.  The bedroom car communities can continue to grow.  Set up more the porta potties.
