Bloomberg - Yet another Trump
- Details
- Written by Editor
Mike Bloomberg has announced he is running for U.S. President, but what is he and what does he really stand for? Another rich, out of touch with the real world, holier than thou, I can do anything I want "businessman". Yeah just what this country needs again is another rich, megalomaniac. Mike (may I call you Mike?), Mike has shown his elitist stature at the climate talks in Spain. Announcing a news conference at the summit in Spain and then taking not a single question from the media was brilliantly stupid! It was very "Trumpian" in its fascist, moronic, absurdity. This is yet another rich individual (****) that wants to be the President of the United States. Another rich guy that does not have the wherewithal to answer a simple question (maybe because it was from a Democracy Now reporter - one he might deem as an undesirable) about what "he" would do about climate change while at the climate change conference after announcing he would have a news conference!

I don't understand how anyone that has conservative ideas, like being fiscially responsible (to me an irony, but none the less) and other conservative ideas - how they can accept the behavior of their party in the United States Congress in recent years and particularly right this minute! How can an American, one that believes in American ideals believe in hidding or discouraging truth, divirting attention from the truth being examined and peverting majority (or for that matter respect for the minority whichever that party is at the time) rule. It has become, over time a greater pevertion of democracy with at its end - true facism. Will our current president postpone elections if he thinks they will not end to his liking? He has already peverted and disgraced the office of presidency. He maligns and perverts law enforcement, justice and many of the pilars of our once but no longer proud democracy. He is divisive, stokes fear and hatered, but his party in Congress has done little to nothing to stand up to this disgraceful behavior. Anyone and anything that disagrees with him or suggests that he has run afowl is instantly labled "fake" or becomes a "witch hunt". He is a farce and now his party has become a farce, taking on his own dispicable characteristics.

The reality is that one party has been shifting more and more to an authoritarian rule rather than a democratic one. The rush to make as many federal court judicial appointments, the absolutely despicable push towards more and more extreme gerrymandering of voting districts (this extreme version was in large part nurtured along by Carl Rove after the Bush years and termed by him as "Rat F***ked" - which is by the way the title of a book on the same subject), the equally despicable push of voter suppression laws particularly in what would be considered "swing" states along with a win at any cost mentality is costing us our democracy. Trump is (so far and hopefully not much more) a culmination of the last several decades of these kinds of anti-democratic tactics.
Return of Monopolies

In an ever growing world dominated by corporations we have seen the successful resurgence of the corporate monopoly! Whether you want to believe it or not many of the largest and most (politically) powerful corporations have a strangle hold on products, services and governments. The latest news in the U.S., Kraft merging with Heinz, but don't forget Comcast and Time Warner or Exon and Mobil to name a few of the larger mergers in recent time. These are the ones with names we are familiar with, how about Vodifone, Cellco, RBS Holdings and the list goes on! The folks (crooks) doing these deals will tell you it is a good thing and that the costs of goods and services provided by these companies will go down as a result of the mergers (monopolies). Not so! That is the biggest bunk of bull biscuits you'll hear! In fact once a "market" is secured by many of these monopolies the total cost to the consumer of these goods and services goes up! By a lot in many cases. Check the trend in the cost of generic drug prices recently, not to mention brand name drugs. We all know how gasoline prices have out paced inflation by four football fields in the last 4 decades, not to mention food (especially food commodities - what a con job).

Say What about Social Security?

Social Security benefits are not an entitlement, it is insurance YOU paid for! But Congress believes that the funds for Social Security and other social programs are an entitlement for them to raid! The want to make cuts and raid any surplus for themselves and then NEVER pay it back! SHAME on Congress!
