Who Deserves a Flog Today?

The Flogging Whip is ready to flap its lashes into the air as wings to fly to Washington DC today. Why? Beyond the usual individual floggings of various people, this time The Whip wants to aim it's knotty tendrils in-person at almost all of the members of the so-called Joint Economic Committee which was to have met today to discuss unemployment/the economy. 

How many Congress People deigned to show-up? At last count it was 4. You read that correctly. Only 4 of our "lawmakers" exhibited one nth of an interest in dealing with how to grow the economy rather than blathering endlessly over the "deficit" – which, again, we would not have were it not for the wars and the Bush Tax Cuts. It is so thoroughly disgusting how important cultural and religious and corporate-greed issues have become the primary focus in those increasingly moldy rooms in the Capitol rather than dealing with the REAL PROBLEMS in this country, that my redundancy on our current political atmosphere can never be redundant enough when so little interest is shown in what we have been told is one of our Biggest Crisis' of the moment: the economy. 

People are out of jobs. People need jobs. Large corporations with tax loopholes as large as the Great Black Hole in space have been dumping jobs unnecessarily (in most cases) while they garner profits and yet have the audacity and Entitlement Mentality to whine about raising taxes on their companies, their high incomes, and, should they have to pay taxes at all, how they would have to sell a yacht, townhouse and their summer homes in the Hampton's to survive when they aren't visiting their money in the Cayman Islands. Grrr once again.

For a brief understanding of what did not happen today in the Joint Economic Committee, and why a few members decided to stop by, READ THIS and steep in the mind-boggling indifference of these flat-footed azzhats should you need a boost in your blood pressure. If not, don't bother – or else take your meds first.

Tiny rant over. Bigger rants to follow.
