What has the last couple weeks proved about our government?

[SUBMAN1]

I wonder if any of you can answer this question? It should be glaring you in the face!

Instead of waiting here since my time is limited, I'll answer it for you - The US Government has absolutely no control over the economy. I'll say it again, The US Government has absolutely no control over the economy. Proven glaringly this time no matter how Congress, the President, or the Presidential Candidates spin it.

Its all hype to buy votes.

They don't have control of the economy, but they can influance the confidence in it by any action they may take or have taken. At this point there are many things that will influance the market, both internal and external.

They're inept, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike?

How can some group claiming they are libertarians be considered right unless you mean that they think they are right?

And what happened to Ross Perot? He was the only candidate that had a brain. McCain, not so much. Obama, don't even get me started that socialist hypocrit!

He didn't mean they were right right, he meant they were right right.

It proved that being a politician is a good job to have in tough times.

It looks like the pay is low, but you can actually make more off of the kickbacks and bribes. You get great working hours, basically a part time job. Lots of authority with no responsibility or accountability. You get benefits, I'll bet they even have dental insurance.

I'm thinking that I might want to change careers and go into politics.

It always pays to be in a legal criminal organization.... Politics is the biggest Mafia.

When the party's over though, who does the mob want to hang?

I'm half contemplating running for a seat in the next Legislative Assembly here in Canberra. Even our independents seem to have a party affiliation!!

Talk about frustrating..

I'm sad to say that in spite of all efforts to the contrary Libertarians just aren't a viable political party, at least not in the traditional sense. Heck, they can barely agree on a national platform, let alone present a united front to go against the political machines of the GoP or the Dems.
