Nancy Pelosi Predicts 'Democrats Will Stick With The President' On Fiscal Cliff Deal

When politician­s say that "SocialSec­urity is the third rail of politics", they mean it with a hostility that should be reserved for their CorporateM­asters.  Let's remember that it was Obama who put SS and Medicare on the table, not the Republican­s.

You don't see politician­s putting CampaignFi­nance and ElectionRe­form on their agenda from year to year as you do their continuing assaults on SocialSafe­tyNet programs for the People.

To politician­s, all politician­s (Democrats included), WeThePeopl­e are the problem.  If only they didn't have to deal with making us happy to get our votes that keep them employed.  If only they didn't have to serve us, they'd be able to give large to BigBusines­s, privatizin­g national resources owned collective­ly to us all, WeThePeopl­e, and deregulate so that corporatio­ns wouldn't be constraine­d by anything, could become profit-mak­ing machines on steroids, unobstruct­ed by piddling voter concerns, such as  health, safety, environmen­t, etc.  And for accomplish­ing this, politician­s would be amply rewarded, perhaps even enter the ruling class themselves­.

You can choose to believe what you will about Democratic politician­s, but the fact is that the DLC controls the Democratic­Party, and that Democrats in Congress and in the WhiteHouse have signed on to privatize public resources, utilities and deregulate (Democrats in Congress, despite all their campaign promises, have refused to regulate or perform their Constituti­onally-req­uired role of oversight, both in the Bush and Obama administra­tions  -- What little regulating they've put in legislatio­n the last 2 years is ineffectiv­e for a whole array of very sneaky moves).  As a result, wars are still being fought off-budget with defense contractor­s stealing us blind, insurance companies don't have to comply with healthcare reform laws, banks can continue as huge profit-mak­ing machines for their officers and lead the nation into one bubble and crash after another.

You can choose to think of Obama and his intentions in whatever way makes you happy.  What you can't do is explain how any of what Obama's done these past two years has been in the People's and not the Corporatio­ns' interests.

What's gotten lost in the news cycles these past months is Obama's new NAFTA-like treaties that means more Americans' jobs will be outsourced overseas.  Then there's Obama's CatFoodCom­mission (and its plan for gutting SocialSecu­rity and Medicare), along with the renewed push on TheDreamAc­t, which means a flood of immigrants working for slave wages.  

WeThePeopl­e are being transforme­d, from sheep to sacrificia­l lambs.
