IS AN UNREGULATED ECONOMY BEST?

GET THE FACTS BEHIND THE NEWS!

In the 1880's to 1920's the US was a nation of individual farmers and shopkeepers. Since that time the nation has changed. The US has become a group of large social and business organizations. People work for large co's, join large organizations. This necessitates a realignment of gov'ts role. The individual is frequently powerless against these large organizations. This is why people join labor unions, buy from coops--Costco, political parties etc.

Now one of the main purposes of gov't is to protect the public against the excessive greed, and power seeking of these large organizations. Some examples--the raliroads in the 1880's, the sub-prime mortgagor people in the 2000-2008, the pharmaceutical co's, the banks and wall street, 2000-2008, teachers unions etc Lastly we need protection against the protectors

The tea party financed primarily by Rupert Murdoch, Beck is on his payroll, and the Koch brothers and others do not want to be regulated Can we leave our future in the hands of these large organization and very wealthy people?. This was the George Bush program of gov’t without oversight, or unregulated. Judging by the results the answer is NO.

USA TODAY!

THE USA TODAY- ONCE A LEADER NOW AN ALSO RAN

The USA Today is not all sunny. There are a shadowy dark spaces. The USA was once a glamorous Queen first in many important aspect of living a good life. Now the USA is slowly disintegrating, and decaying do to neglect. NEWSWEEK RECENTLY LISTED THE 100 BEST COUNTRIES INN THE WORLD. WE USED TO BE 1ST. NOW WE ARE 11TH,NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 10. The moral decline of the US is reflected in the small bore thinking of our elected representatives and the impractical distortions of some of our leaders.

Since the public and its leader seem to be consumed and distracted by the diverse opinions and political divisions in this country many important needs are neglected. We have created a civilization that was once beautiful but is now a damaged and crumbling world.

Without a great deal of care the modern world with its large unsolved problems has been placed on top of our fine elegant world of the past, and now violated is likely ready for destruction.
