Swine Flu Rampant in Washington

While government and the media try to scare us with threats of a "deadly" N1H1 virus, a much more dangerous "swine flu" runs rampant in Washington. Our government representatives are like pigs at the trough.

But, what did you expect when we allowed the Great Depression's New Deal to continue unchecked into the 21st century?

Let's face it, huge chunks of our society receive governmental largesse on a daily basis?

- Why should we save for retirement? Social Security will send me a check- a- month for life when I reach a certain age.

- Why should I take that care of myself? If I can't afford insurance, I can always fall back on Medicaid.

- Why should I study and strive? Welfare pays more than entry level jobs in many states.

Big government's roots have been planted and cultivated since, at least, the 1930s, and watered by the voters through various administrations and Congress every year since.

This has GOT to stop!

You say you want a revolution?

While Tea Parties organize and march and the President delivers speech after speech full of tone but lacking any substance, Congress sits on its voter-built throne constructing more barricades to freedom.

We gave up our "right" to freedom a long time ago.

Washington, special interests and Big Business are calling the tunes and we're paying the orchestra.

Oh, they'll throw something to the middle class to shut it up. Healthcare reform, cash for clunkers, money to buy a first house...anything to quiet them down.

Keep ‘em drugged to keep ‘em in line.

But, here's what's going on while you fight the politics of left and right.

--The bailout of the banks that originated the financial crisis created fewer banks, bigger than ever before. So big, in fact, that the next time they screw up (which WILL come) there won't be enough money in China to fix the problem.

--The "toxic" mortgages that broke the back of BOTH the banking and housing sectors are still being bought up by the Federal Reserve with our money and markers.

-- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are still protecting bond investors with our money and markers.

--The housing market is still being propped up with government money, which is our money and markers.

--The government now runs housing, college loans, Wall Street firms and is angling to take over insurance companies.

And - the pièce de résistance:

-- Barney Frank (who, by his actions, aided and abetted the mortgage meltdown) will regulate Wall Street while Charles Rangel, who can't seem to understand the tax code well enough to pay his own taxes, continues to oversee the Tax Law Writing Committee.

The time has come to take to the barricades.

What can YOU do?

Join the Tea Party Express. Many rallies are already scheduled with many more to follow.

Let your voice be heard in protest of our out-of control government.
