Meme Initiation. Let's get busy on two new memes..things that need to be said, things that need to get into the collective consciousness of this country. "Bush is Out Of Touch".  Bush is insulated, surrounded by his Wormtongue advisors, unable to evaluate the facts on his own, and simply, plainly, out of touch with the reality of his policies.  He's on autopilot, blindly implementing what he's told to, by those who have other motives. "The Republican Elite".  The word "elite" has been used to death by the Right.  We need to take it back.  The citizens of this country need to start recognizing that there is a Star Chamber-like aspect to the policy drive at the top...these policies are designed to advance the goals and aspirations of a very few people.  Moderation is absent...there are only risky policies, being driven by those who are extraordinarily well insulated from the negative effects of those policies. My personal tin foil hat theory -- it's all about owning the paper.  What I mean by that is that there is a small group of people in this country who are driving the deficit up dramatically...who ends up owning this paper?  This future debt servicing is going to have to go somewhere...somebody is going to end up owning paper that gets a significant cut of this country's GDP.  We need to look very carefully at who that somebody is... 12:36:36 AM     | comment [] | trackback []
