US Congress Sells Out to Wall Street

REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT exactly is new about this. Republicans sold the whole country to wall street when they took over congress in 1995.

Here is a clue, K street, home of the lobbyists, has been suffering ever since demos took over congress. If anything the public has gained back more control over congress since the demos have taken over.

Heck looks like yet again another repub senator has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

I hope Palin wins the GOP primary in 2012.

Perhaps we could get a mechanism to black list certain members??

Dont be a sucker and fall for the Repub/Dem false dichotomy...there is more to reality than ''repubs'' and ''demos''....

What about the story how Obama is an anti-christ? People need to cover that story more. I would.

Poof

I question their reasoning for their choices.

Common sense ... the top 25 most censored stories for 2010 should read like this ...
1 - Obama ______
2 - Obama ______
3 - Obama ______
etc.

The press isn't covering anything truthfully about him.
His entire reign (and yes, i do mean reign) is one big consipracy.

11. Private Corporations Profit from the Occupation of Palestine

Oy. No bias on that, is there?
How about - 11. Royal House of Saud appeases terrorist wahabbis with $$$ in order to be the last to be bit by the croc? They are the major financiers of terrorism in the middle east.

It's sad that this could easily be true.

Hopefully TPTB decided to be honest for a change.

it's true, i read about the somali pirates being motivated by allies of the United States (Italy) dumping toxic waste off the coast, destroying massive amounts of marine life which in turn devastates their fishing economy

Nice thread. But I don't get why it says 2010. I'd like to say something about #2 (the schools being more segregated.

I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland and their school district is horrible, and mostly black. While my school was good (supposedly) and you could count the black kids on two hands. But its not really segregation, its just the machine hat we live in.

Cleveland used to be a great city in the first half of the 20th century but it couldn't keep up with the post-industrial world (The steel mill shutting down) and the rich people (mostly white) moved out of the city to commute. So who was left? People who couldn't afford to get out of the city (mostly black). This is a carbon copy (kind of) of what happened around the country, but bigger cities have certain neighborhoods instead of suburbs 20 miles away.

People couldn't get jobs because of their race, can't afford private schools and just fell into "city life" for the next 50-60 years. And here we are today, gangs are everywhere, kids skip school, teachers in those districts are few (who would want to teach in a dangerous area when you read about kids assaulting teachers?). This is all off the top of my head, but its the way I see it:

Its not segregation, its the inability to change or circumstances that mold people into slots that, for the most part, is where they'll stay. Its really quite interesting how the affects of slavery are still so prevalent in our society today.

In fact, if you really think about it, its completely and utterly unacceptable
