Republicans” and their Stepchild “The Evil Violent Tea Billy’s” are just like a “Huge Power Outage ”. They are a Major Disaster, Cause Fear, Panic, Chaos, Misery and Destroy anything good in their Paths.

G. O. P. = GREED, OIL, POWER

Remember Folks, “Oil Prices" are about Corruption and Greed, not Supply and Demand.

This is from a Great Article I found Online:

A Senator goes whoring

It happened on the night of December 15, 2000. The country was in tumult over the Bush-Gore election. This diversion offered Republican Senator Phil Gramm of Texas an exquisite opportunity to push American financial stability back 100 years.

That evening, Gramm inserted a 262-page amendment into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. Leaked e-mails would later reveal that it had been written by lobbyists for Enron, Goldman Sachs and the Koch brothers, Kansas billionaires who would later fund the Tea Party movement.

Gramm had turned his office into a subsidiary of Wall Street. From 1997 to 2002, the securities and banking industries had lathered him with $640,000 in campaign contributions. His biggest sugar daddies weren't from Texas; they were Credit Suisse,Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and Goldman. And he was more than willing to step-and-fetch-it on their behalf.

Big oil, big banks and big speculators such as the Kochs wanted to make monster bets in the futures markets. But they wanted to do it in secrecy — without any government regulation.

If you want to know the Truth follow the “Money Trail”. It will usually lead to the Lobbyist, Special Interest and the Self Righteous!

    You 'gotta "LOVE" all that in-depth detail about problems in the Treasury !

    If it's a story about Bain Capital, it will be lengthy, speculative and contain lots of quotes from liberals like Debbie Wasserman "Putz". If it would reflect negatively on President Barack Hussein Obama, however, the brevity will be breathtaking !

          That story is just about how people in Washington slip around' its been going on for generations and someone just now decided to write a story about it. If anyone could possibly know what ever politician or goverment official has done in the hanky panky world, a very large number would be involved.
