It's a Fox And Friends World

Congressman Joe Walsh(no not the musician, the deadbeat dad) shows just how far our society has sunk. In this video clip Walsh sounds like some wingnut talkshow caller and not an aware, informed person representing the people.

First of all does he expect us to be unaware of the fact that the corporations and banksters control our government?
Second of all does he expect us to believe that our government took down the economies of most of europe?
No that was international banksters that did that.
Did Joe Walsh notice that right before the world economies fell off a cliff that the international banksters all over the very same places were crashing. It would tend to make the two seem related somehow wouldn't it?
He and the right wing reactionaries just look completely unaware of the reality that surrounds them to me. Just say government is the problem with everything. That should be deep enough.
The story of what happened is not a secret yet some seem to want to deny reality. Barney Franks tanked the Greek economy or something. The film "Inside Job" is worth viewing if you STILL don't know what happened. Look up what they say and I think you will find oodles of confirmation.

The government did not force the banks or rating agencies to commit fraud, and the government did not make them suck up huge profits from those fraudulent sub prime loans. As a matter of fact, what they did with their freedom to invest should be all the proof that is needed for more regulation not less.  Nope the free market believers think that the less rules the better. Many of them apparently think none would be ideal.
I wonder if there were no rules who would win? Hmmmmmm , I'm thinking it would be the biggest and ones with the most power(money) in society.  A  kind of an aristocratic corporatocracy. Nope, I'm not for that.
