Pigs and Politicians…share one very frightening common thread!
Warning: If what you are about to read appears to seem a bit condescending, it was composed intentionally to be that way. Most would agree that swine on most large scale Pig Farms pretty much all feed from the same trough. The feed they eat comes to them directly from the Pig Farm owner with one single purpose in mind; nourish them for eventual slaughter, period. The Value Proposition is simple to understand. Farm Owner invests money in raising Pigs knowing that when they are slaughtered, the remains will bring a financial profit greater than the financial investment to FEED them, period. Now (most) Politicians pretty much all fuel (their crusades for political office) from campaign contributions (investments) financed by Corporations, Industry Associations and Interest Groups; be it Republican, Democrat or Independent Party candidate, they all receive (significant) funding from a mixed-cocktail of the same channels. The aforementioned ‘Investors’ (like the Pig Farm owner) have one single purpose in mind; nourish (to some degree) the campaign coffers of (as many) candidates as possible because 1 will eventually be elected to office. And those that ultimately win, will be indebted (in some way) to those that ‘Fed’ them the fuel to become victorious. The Value Proposition here is also simple to understand. ‘Investor’ provides money to Candidates knowing that when 1 is elected he/she will (likely) support the ‘Investor’s’ profit agenda by drafting, voting for or otherwise supporting legislation that benefits (their) Investor. These forms of support are the equivalent of the Farm Owner’s (slaughter) and the legislation that is passed is the equivalent of (the remains) that will bring a financial profit greater than the financial investment to FEED them, period. Believe this or not, trust it or not, accept it or not…you choose. The fact is that, this is how it really is! Elected politicians are (for the most part) put into office based upon the size of their war-chests, period. The fact that they throw their support to those that (fed) them is clearly understandable. What is actually stupid is; remaining in denial that this is not how the game is played.
Government will not and cannot fix the people’s problems. They cannot ever spend enough money to sustain long term job growth. They cannot fix the health care crisis because the real problem is the entire health care system in itself. And they cannot ever (truly) change the systemic greedy financial behavior because there will never be enough resources to guarantee ENFORCEMENT of any (new) financial regulations that become law. I myself gave up trying to put the blame on elected officials long ago simply because they are as an institution….POWERLESS!
Again people I continue to tell you all wake up and Get in The Game. By the end of this year “…Many commercial real estate loans will mature, and community banks will feel the strain if property owners can’t pay — much in the way bigger financial institutions did before the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program began…” says Elizabeth Warren, chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel, to PBS. PBS also says that “…Warren is now believed to be the frontrunner to head up the new Consumer Protection Agency, which has been proposed to help consumers better understand financial products.” Everyone must read this article / watch the video and pay close attention: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/economy/the-next-foreclosure-crisis/2303/
And why you might ask do I take this time on a Sunday afternoon to write these words and tell this story? Because I am passionately determined and dedicated to help save Our Country from total economic disaster. This journey has become my life’s work and I am proud and honored to have an opportunity to make a difference during my second chance at life. Join the journey everyone, being a spectator in life is no longer excusable.

Hi, There is a simple answer to all of our problems: everything is profit!! There are no intelligent thinking any more and people are looking to survive spending less money. So we have a strange situation in all fields, evan if we are selling the stuff for health does not metter what can we produce but what we are earning! This is a classic problem of ‘old capitalism’, maybe today we have banks and corporations which can be responsable for regression. As you can see post can produce another pace of paper, someone will answer but want change the situation! Sorry about pesimistic opinion, polititians do not change!
Great essay! We definitely believe that the Bilderberg Group is the real and secret power that is controlling our government and our banking system. Their agenda is clearly to bankrupt the country – both financially and morally – to bring this great Republic to it’s knees and then usher in their “great rescue plan” known as the New World Order.
We also hold all the politicians in Washington FULLY responsible for sitting on their hands while taking bribes from the lobbyists (agents for the bankers etc) and allowing our Constitution and therefore our country to be corrupted and destroyed.
We must, in the short term, vote out ALL the incumbents this November 2nd, 2010. They desperately want us to think that we are powerless. We are not.
Keep up the good work, Bob.

Many thanks for posting this, It’s just what I had been trying to find on bing. I’d a great deal rather hear opinions from an individual, rather than a corporate web page, that’s why I like blogs so significantly. Many thanks!

I’m not certain that I agree 100% with your blog post, but I did discover it intriguing.
Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
Thanks for that small piece of humour
I love the blog layout ! How did you make it. It’s really good.
i’m adding your blog rss feed so that I can see your new posts. Keep up the good work!
I’ve seen progression in every post. Your newer posts are simply wonderful compared to your posts in the past. Keep up the good work!
