Well I got another lesson of why our speaker is worthless, or at least her staff

[nadinbrzezinski]

I called about the financial crisis... telling them essentially bring back the New Deal, lock, stock and barrel.

Would you like to leave that on the comment line?

Would you like to pass it to the speaker? That is why I called?

There are days I really thing they believe we are serfs, not their damn employers

Oh and they are gonna go chicago on us... I can feel it in my bones

1. You mean she didn't immediately drop everything

and take your call and immediately ask for your advice on implementing the plan. The nerve of her!

[EFerrari]

3. Right. Just like she didn't drop her book tour to have a town hall

for the first time in years in her district.

She does have a nerve.

[Benhurst]

5. Which is fine and humorous; but do you really think she'll do anything? Action is off the table

every bit as much as is impeachment.

Pelosi has broken the glass ceiling only to prove that a woman Speaker of the House can be every bit as ineffectual and incompetent as a man. A victory of sorts, I guess.

[madrchsod]

7. she makes "denny the fixer" look like he actually did something....

i can`t believe i actually defended her...oh well live and learn

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. THe nerve to direct all calls to the easily scrubbed comment line

which has been SOP since impeachment got stronger.

The way to run an open and transparent guv'ment, NOT

[aquart]

2. Chicago?

[Greyhound]

6. Chicago school of economics. n/t

[EV_Ares]

4. Well, not sure they were out of line there, you probably were not their only caller. However, I

do hope they replace her in the next congress with someone more effective and someone who does seem to give a dam about her constituents. Don't get that feeling from her at all, she has an agenda which is her own.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. That';s not the point... they have been very dismissive from the first day

[warren pease]

10. When serfs, slaves, peasants and indentured servants encounter their government overlords...

... it's never pleasant for either side. It's not that there are days they believe we're serfs rather than their employers and paymasters. There are entire decades of this, and Nancy has always been one of the House's most unreachable, non-responsive and disinterested in representing her alleged constituents.

The so-called people's representatives are too busy stealing what little is left in the US treasury to even notice they have company.

For their part, the peasants are too tongue-tied by the presence of political power and authority to vent their anger and outrage at the horrible job the new "majority party" has done.

The latest evidence of their complicity or monumental stupidity is their failure to stop the Bushies war against the American people. So it's another point for the Bushie "incompetents," who either engineered this inevitable meltdown or just let it happen without resistance or counter-measures. Kind of like MIHOP or LIHOP applied to macro-economics and zero-sum capitalism.

The cost of failing the people on this one critical issue, along with many others just as volcanic, will be worse than anyone alive has any experience of. But there are always winners, too, in the take-no-prisoners zero sum capitalist scam.

In this case, the winners are the international moneyed elite, along with the world's few remaining solvent nation states -- the ones who now hold enough worthless US paper to keep a dozen industrial-class shredders busy for months.

If things continue on track -- and since the creditors hold all the cards, that's a pretty safe bet -- these countries and their people will finally get the opportunity to piss on the great satan's grave.

Now, as the whole ponzi scheme collapses into a small pile of useless parts, the dream finally comes true -- just as they've envisioned it a thousand times before as they patiently waited for this country of pretentious pests, world-class greedy pricks and numbskull holy roller assholes to finally collapse under the weight of its own gigantic national ego.

Like right about... now.
