Politics generally make me sick, because it's usually about chest thumping and making one's self look good and by pretending to care about constituents when it's really about caring for their own asses.
I saw a youtube clip today of republican Dan Burton complaining about the devaluation of the US dollar and how he managed to get contacted by some Chinese representative that they were worried about the devaluation of treasury bonds they held.
How else should I put it other than that this one terribly big bullshit act.
A Sense of Perspective
Let me be blunt. It was the Republican government that put the US into a huge debt into the first place by the Iraq war and then dishing out bailouts for the banks in when the financial crisis came out. And now that they have just lost the house to the Democrats that they want to complain about spending too much and the devaluation of the US dollar!?
Where were the calls for prudence when it came to deficit spending when the Republicans were in power? The only one Republican that cared dearly about excessive government spending was Ron Paul, who had little support from his colleagues when we was trying to reign in big deficit spending.
It makes me sick at how quickly some politicians change the tune of their song.
If politicians were paid in proportion to their level of approval, most of them would probably be broke.
