... nonsense and economic maneuvers ...

The more times goes by and the more emerges spontaneous a list of questions to understand the US system, at times seems to be dubious if all the voting Americans are wall street stocks owners or just don't have a clue of what they are talking about:

First of all there must be a certain degree of stupidity in the system if 50% of Americans want better health care but think that a private system charging the government seven times more for the services, and provide worse services than most of western world countries, is OK, as long as their "socialized medicine" in the Medicare system is not touched, and everybody else either pay for those over-charges or loses medical coverage.

Common sense would indicate that a system defrauding the government, should be scrutinized and dissected by the office of general accounting, and forced to pay back what they stole from the government, ergo the taxpayer. As a consequence the whole system of private medicine would go bankrupt, and now the government could nationalize it in exchange of settling a claim for 40 years damages, and possibly merging it with the military health system into a national medical legal system agency.

In second lieu statistics indicate that 40% Americans want to save Detroit, so it could build more junk such as Hummers etcetera, while 60% of Americans want to save the banks that created a loan bubble and made their houses be worth one third of what they were 5 years ago, their 401K worth 50% and the interest rates of their credit cards going from 6-7% to over 30%.

Common sense would indicate that an incompetent greedy and treasonous banking system, should be scrutinized and dissected under the RICO act. As a consequence the whole system of private banking would go bankrupt, and now the government could nationalize it in exchange of setting a claim for the national damages caused, and possibly merging the central banking authority with the Internal Revenue Service into a national Federal for real not just for name, Bureau Of Financial Investigations, and afterwards liquidate the rest to the new private banking system, on the stock market.

However this does not seem to be the case, since this strange and treasonous connivance continues, whereas the American voters elect presidents and vice presidents not the ones such as Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul, that are denouncing some of this scandals, but "puppets" of wall street financial lobby. Are this voting people all wealthy wall street stock holders, or just plain imbeciles ?, this is the serious question I leave to the reader the answer for.

The long list of stupidities proceeds with the choice of the grandson of Hitler banker, of incentives for biofuel, resulting within a few months on doubling of the cost of cereal based foods, right at the brinks of the deflating real estate bubble and consequent recession, smart job, congratulations, the "neo-cons" can be proud of the famine they created instantly across the whole planet.

The long list of stupidities continues further, with a "cash for clunkers" law that does nothing to reduce consumption, but actually does damage to the US economy when you can trade a fuel economic 20 yo Geo metro for a gas guzzler Chevy truck with the compliments of 4500 bucks from the taxpayer. This was as usual a gift for Detroit, that does triple damage to the US economy. The first damage is keeping Detroit open to build junk, the second is charging principal and interest of a stupid move on the taxpayer, and the third is doing absolutely nothing to reduce fuel consumption. This could have been a good law, without the treasonous lobbyist of the usual Detroit junk makers, as simply as limiting the choice of new purchases to "LPG hybrids" or "diesel" or "vegetable oil diesel" or "electric hybrids" or "electric", I'm sure it does not take Von Braun's brain to get to this minimal degree of common sense.

And furthermore, for both administration, the use of shady "private contractors" in war resulting on charges ten times higher than using soldiers, and a lack of international credibility of the US worldwide, due to the lack of respect of the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war, and of odor of suspicion of crimes against humanity. Good job, "mission accomplished". Surprisingly nothing is said by the general accounting office, nor by international war crimes courts, neither on this case, nor of the long list of US crimes against humanity in the last century.
