Turns out a bigger threat than terrorism is the fraud and corruption that is the U.S. economic system as FBI agents are diverted to investigate.  I have said many times that terrorism can’t begin to compete with the normal corruption that is prevalent in America by Americans.  Some of those corrupt Americans have literally sworn oaths to support the Constitution.  But, if you are willing to steal, why does it matter what you swear to do?

“We have to work those cases which we think pose the greatest threat,” he said. “In this case, it’s a threat to the financial system and Wall Street.”

This greed and corruption, some based on political influence, is based on the desire to acquire more and more money as many America suffers with poverty wages, poor health care, foreclosures, and risk of homelessness.  Don’t raise the minimum wage and certainly don’t consider a living wage; instead, let executives and politicians literally steal from the taxpayers.  Lower taxes for the rich because you just can’t have too many cars or yachts.  It’s a new form of Darwinism — instead of “survival of the fittest,” it is “survival of the crookedest”.

After the crooked deeds are done, don’t even consider holding anybody responsible:

For the sake of national security and national unity, President-elect Barack Obama should put a stop to efforts to investigate or prosecute Bush administration officials for anti-terror “war crimes.”  The motive behind such efforts is not — as claimed — “truth” or “justice,” but political vengeance.

Don’t believe that next year is going to get better, because next year there will  be more layoffs, smaller salaries, less social programs, less food for the poor, plenty of war, and more homelessness. And the year after that will suck also.  This is America — the home of the “I’ve got mine and fuck everybody else” mentality.

America is doomed.
