Not so cheery news

I had intended to just ramble a bit, talk about how much it's snowing, getting ready to go back to school. I made the 'mistake' of checking the headlines on reddit and came across one that had a link to the Bill Moyers Journal. His guest for the 18th of January was David Cay Johnston, the writer of a book called Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense and Stick You with the Bill.

The information is not surprising. It's just that hearing it out loud made me feel very sad. Our government doesn't care about us. Our representatives don't care about us. Even though I have been accused of being cynical, I usually do look on the positive side of things. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, ya know . . . innocent until proven guilty.

It is clear that the lower 98% of the population is expendable to our government.
