Rolling Stone Magazine Article: Why Obama's JOBS Act Couldn't Suck Worse

[MrSlayer]

188. Why so much denial around here?

President Obama is as much a corporate tool as anyone in Washington D.C., that's the way it is and apparently that's the way it will always be from now on. You have two choices in politics, slow death with the Democrats or quick decapitation with the Republicans. The social issues are the things that make the Democrats more palatable to us and they're right on those issues. And the Democrats are good with the rhetoric about economic policies, things we agree with, but the actions are the same as the Republicans. And that is because they are all owned by the same people. Why do some of us continue to lie to ourselves about these facts? The system is broken, the game is rigged, they all sold us out a long time ago and it's never going to get much better than it is now. They call it the "new normal" and they're right. We're never going to have full employment again, they're going to get our SS money, they're going to end Medicare and the Post Office is gone. And it will all because we have to compromise with the fascists, we have to be bipartisan, we didn't have the votes or we're keeping our powder dry. This country is fucked, the bad guys won and we as a nation let it happen.
