Actually, I think Bush was making large steps in pushing us in that direction.  I agree w/the left v right being used in combination w/a media that only panders to politicians, refuses to ask hard questions, and a general public that is ignorant as hell and doesn't even care that the country is falling down around them because they've been lulled into this false sense of security.  I was talking w/a guy at work the other day about government and he made the comment "I wish there was a way we could see what they do every day and keep tabs on them instead of just hearing about this stuff through the media and what they want us to hear."  I replied "It's called C-SPAN."

Thanks to the hippies, they've turned on their TV's, tuned in to whatever crap passes for news, and dropped out of any intelligent discussion to be had.

Divide and Rule (Conquer)
Thats exactly what our politicians have been doing to us for quite some time. The whole Left vs Right is nothing but a charade that allows them to have even more control.

$14,000,000,000,000 in the hole to an unfriendly govt and building fast. Unless we do something, it will all be over with pretty soon.

You my friend and hit the nail on the head!!! I applaud your being awake...as most Americans aren't, most don't have a clue of what's going on and going down, they will look like the folks in nawlins after katrina.....lost and with nothing.

Utter Wrongness
May 29, 2009:

They’re back. We refer to the global investors once known as the bond vigilantes, who demanded higher Treasury bond yields from the late 1970s through the 1990s whenever inflation fears popped up, and as a result disciplined U.S. policy makers. The vigilantes vanished earlier this decade amid the credit mania, but they appear to be returning with a vengeance now that Congress and the Federal Reserve have flooded the world with dollars to beat the recession.

What does it take for a media outlet to be permanently disbarred from making economic commentary?

But here’s the thing: it wasn’t just the WSJ. Pundits, Very Serious Politicians, and more have spent the past two years plus doing everything they can to make the deficit the center of public discourse, to focus all our fears on the attack by bond vigilantes that was supposedly just over the horizon.

And now it turns out that what really terrifies the markets, let alone the suffering unemployed, is the prospect of a second Great Depression — a prospect that has become much more likely thanks to the utter wrongness of elite policy priorities.

Great work, guys.
