meanwhile, the other guys, like the banks and pharma wanted to get their piece of the pie, so congress started making sure they were fed as well..
and of course we cant forget about the uneducated and poor who if things get bad enough will be the ones to revolt, so we keep handing out their govt cheese to keep them quiet..
all this is happening and the middle class is carrying the burden of both the poor and super rich.. paying for the poor while getting robbed from the super rich..
but the middle class have house payments and car payments and college tuition, so they have no time to protest or demand change, so everything remains status quo..
you guys should look at how much money congressman make these days and maybe you will understand that govt has become about making money, not serving the people..

No argument here
When the Cold war was over, which when you consider how many ICBMs we had pointed at us was a good thing to end, the government wanted another conflict, because that's where they are the most powerful. So one guy gets some other guys to fly an airbus into a building and we go on a spending spree. Our government hates peace, no profit in it.
People get pissed at the guy that went to war, so they elected the other guy that ended up expanding the war.
A war we really don't need and many don't want. Middle class is disappearing because of things like NAFTA where a country like China with major human rights violations can get a top trade status.
LOL and some people are more concerned about us making guns illegal, the politician's are robbing us blind every day

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
