As the ominous X-date approaches—the date when the United States will hit the debt ceiling—the media can focus on little else. Unfortunately, as we’ve covered before, much of the coverage is treating the situation as a game of political chicken. Far too many journalists are breaking out their preferred horse-race style coverage as if this is just another national political story. But it isn’t, as
Both CBS and NBC officially described "the situation" as "America's gov is about to run out of money". The media itself is not a fair arbiter. Neither is the DNC "clean". Money prefers a zero sum outlook whereby they minimize even a penny on their own taxes, everything else be damned.....except for the Pentagon!
I disagree entirely that the periodic Debt Ceiling blockage is not just a routine legislative opportunity on the congressional calendar...it most definitely IS. It has served WONDERFULLY to raise the defense budget ALREADY, by fiat decision among a gang of 4-5! Also, notice Brandon had a fundraiser in the heat of the Debt Ceiling, in NYC, with Buttigieg, and Blackstone (the same company who's Chairman was personally glad-handing the Trump family in their inauguration booth in DC)? The Debt ceiling is another pork barreling opportunity. Good for both parties. Progressives be damned. This is what is becoming apparent. 2011 was not the only brinkmanship....Gingrich shut down the gov for 3 weeks. 3 weeks. It's business as usual, with kabuki explanations on the outside.
In case you haven't noticed, the US Federal regulatory agencies have UTTERLY failed to keep American consumers safe. Have you looked at the sky high rates of autism, obesity and cancer? That's from environmental toxins. For example, the EPA was court ordered to look at studies again when they came out and claimed Monsanto's glyphosate is safe. The FDA, the CDC, EPA and the rest of these regulatory agencies take money, have investment options, own patents and have a lucrative revolving career door form the corporations they are supposed to be regulating. Another example is statins and fluoxetine are useless, yet the FDA still always Pharma to make billions off them.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr has successfully litigated against Monsanto to clean up the river systems. Go to his web site to read his critiques on government polices favoring corporations and not consumers. Another good person to read is Dr. Pierre Cory.
If I had my choice, I would change the laws so regulators can't have their fingers in corporate profit pies. Otherwise they are useless parasites.
