Bill Moyers Essay: Who Shipwrecked Our Economy?

[marmar]

Is our economy a sinking ship, and who's steering it in that direction? Bill's essay looks at owners and manipulators of capital, whose wealth has become a " demonic force in politics" -- unstoppable by the law, scrutiny, or decency. Yet all hope is not lost; Bill points out some ways to start patching the boat.

But why is there a plunger?

6. The plunger is the sign of Dubya's authority,

his "septic scepter", as it were.

8. I suspect it is because Shrubya is so stupid . . .

when they told him the plunger is kept next to the "throne," he took it literally.

7. Thanks for the link,

and a DURec for Moyers!
He is one of the best,
though I disagree with one small point
where he says, "and it pays off in November if their horse should WIN."

The Billionaire Plutocrats have covered THAT base.
They have bought BOTH parties,
so it pays off for them in November, no matter WHO wins.
