Great post, missy kat!

Abramoff: I was actually thinking of writing a book - "The Idiot's Guide to Buying a Congressman" - as a way to put this all down. First, I think most congressmen don't feel they're being bought. Most congressmen, I think, can in their own mind justify the system.

"I live in Australia...

*My student loans from our gov. are not subject to interest, they do not increase each year
*our minimum wage is the eqv. of $14,000 and out working week is limited to 38 hours by LAW
*Welfare is available to whoever needs it. You do not have to wait years to qualify
*every citizen automatically receives health cover for life-threatening or severe and chronic illnesses
*any medicines that are vital to survival are subsidised

*Our Gov is not in recession
*our corporations still make an insane profit
*We are looked after

-IT IS POSSIBLE-

We support the 99%"

from a website titled "WE SURVIVED BUSH, YOU WILL SURVIVE OBAMA"

i would prefer "we look after each other" but no biggie...

Well, the term "dysfunctional politics" whould be a better way to explain it and most of problems were having around the world.

I knew "McCain" was not the "mavrick" to save the US and I knew O'Bomber whouldn't either.

So your left with poor leadership.

Greece is a disaster and Berlusconi is a clown.

The only thing Berlusconi is good at is hosting "bunga bunga parties", lol.

The problem in Canada is the previous elected goverment planned for rainy days but most people don't relize it and are debt is increasing with are newly elected goverment.
