Those are the prophetic words shouted by the main character (Peter Finch) in the 1976 movie classic "Network". The movie satires a generation of people who have become lethargic, complacent and whose minds have become softened by the seduction of television. That is until the main character, a news anchorman, decides to break out of this complacent mold and stand up for change. Well, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!BigBlogManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18184259137997818464noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383911650204891468.post-63720443468408006402011-07-26T14:36:00.000-07:002011-10-05T15:26:25.462-07:00

Why can't the Democrats and the Republicans cooperate to lower the deficit and increase the debt ceiling? Both parties claim that this is what they want. to lower the now over 14 trillion dollars in Federal debt. To a manageable number such that all our tax money isn't just going to pay the interest. A very real prospect that is already starting to happen.So what's the problem? Apparently

What do the Republicans really want? To save unborn babies? To fix the deficit? to create jobs?The only "jobs" the Republicans will be creating with their version of the budget is of the "snow" type.Just think about it for one moment...They say they the government is spending beyond its means, and we "have to cut spending so our grandchildren do not have to pay the interest..." on what everyone

This accusation from an engaged reader of this blog, and certainly merits a response.It is easy to point the finger at the current administration but let's try to remember who got us into this mess to begin with. A quick glance at the National Debt graph, easily shows deficit spending in the 10 years prior to the Clinton White house and the 10 years after. So, the Republicans broke the economy

A friend of mine and fan of this blog wrote me and told me she did not feel like the bailout was fair, but could not really tell me why as she did not have enough understanding of how our economy worked to make an informed decision about the bailout. What she DID understand was that she had just lost her job, and was trying hard to find a new one but good paying jobs are scarce now.Here was my

Today is September 11th 2008. It was 7 years ago today I stood in front of a TV at work and watched the greatest tragedy of my time take place. Being from Manhattan, I knew several people who could have been in the twin towers that day. None were.As A boy I watched the towers take shape, slowly rising floor by floor over the Manhattan skyline to finally dominate the Southern tip of the Island.I

Dear Amy.The “Stimulus Payment” is a thinly veiled plot to divert our tax dollars directly into the private sector. This is money we have already paid into the system in the form of taxes which many of us would prefer to be used for universal health coverage, education, programs for the poor and other public sector programs to improve the lives of the many poor and underprivileged citizens of our

Can you believe it"? That's what they're calling them, "Stimulus Payments", not tax rebates, not kickbacks, but stimulus payments.OK, Stimulate what? They don't explain that in the letter they sent me, informing me of the windfall of $300 -$600 I will receive presumably to stimulate me.Well as soon as I got it I looked at my dick to see if there was any activity down there, nope. So What are
