Bailed-out firms spend millions on lobbying - Washington Post- msnbc.com

Should we be surprised when hypocrisy reigns as king in our government?  That the only trickling down is just this kind of business as usual mentality.  The old adage is proven “Its not wrong until you get caught”, or “Do it until they tell you to stop”.  They, being the American people who are footing this bill also.

Of course,

“several company representatives said yesterday that none of the money borrowed from the government has been used to fund lobbying activities — though there is no mechanism to verify that” 

That’s right if it could be verified they wouldn’t have said that.  Moreover, what monies replaced this money?

My biggest concern about the American People, is that they will grow tired of all of this and give up.  By going back to their lives and just save their complaining for the bar stools kitchen tables, and church pews.  I know in time that the economy will began to pick up and companies will begin to hire again and life goes on.  Taxes will increase and less and less of our income will be ours.  Just what is slavery to you?

My last concern I will share with you is with this question.  How can America prosper unless new monies come in from other countries?  What I mean is if we are just talking about America its like we the People are just feeding on ourselves, which explains the importance of lending and borrowing in our country. 

How can we prosper and compete as the United States of America with our jobs being exported and those products that are produced again sold back to us by another country?  How much longer can we continue to be a consumer nation when we can’t compete on a global level?  How much more money can we the consumer borrow when we don’t have jobs to pay it back?  Better yet why borrow?

Do you think civil service jobs is the answer, or expanding government, and its programs?  To me it is the same problematic hypocrisy under the disguise of the solution that is being given to us for free, or maybe better said, shoved down our throats telling us to swallow.  More government shrinks the freedoms of society, and leads us into slavery.
