It all comes down to one thing .... "Follow the Money ....." |
|
Who gets rich off the Govt selling oil leases offshore?
Who gets rich off Wall Street speculation driving up the price of oil?
Who got rich providing water/food/gasoline/private security in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Who got rich building fighter planes we don't need for the Pentagon?
Who got rich passing the Bush Tax Cuts?
Who got rich skimming off millions of dollars to make government funded student loans?
Who got rich receiving almost cost free bailout funds and refused to make loans to mainstreet?
Really, it is not hard to identify the real powerbrokers running our government today. All we have to do is FOLLOW THE MONEY.
And just in case you were wondering, WHO DID NOT GET RICH under 8 years of Bush and a compromised Congress that spent us into a huge deficit? You know the answer to that one!

4. Sometimes we like to think decisions are made on a moral basis .... |

But nothing really happens on Capitol Hill unless someone is going to profit from it.

7. Occasionally Beneficiary Conduct Is So Despicable that They Have To Change Their Name to keep the $$ |
|
.... rolling in.
For Example, didn't Blackwater International change their name to Xe? And right after the name change, a billion dollar contract was awarded to Xe --even though the Blackwater International group had been banned from Iraq?
I tell you, if you go shooting up civilians and running amok as civilian security guards in a foreign country, you may have to change your name to keep the $$ coming in --- but if you follow the $$ you find the same individuals and companies.
WE know who they are. It's just nothing changes....
