Indeed fellow patriot. The irony of our current situation could not be outdone by any Hollywood blockbuster.

The Republican Party led us to the precipice of economic ruin by proclaiming, over and over, that all we need to be successful as a country is to be ruthless, inhumane, and give the rich everything they wanted, ignoring all others at all cost.

Then the Democrats pushed us over the cliff by trying to give everyone enough money to sustain the mirage the Republicans created.

Truly, almost, unbelievable.

"Ahhh, my poor America lost.

Once the land of the free and home of the brave, we are now the land of secret prisons, illegal abduction, indefinite incarceration without charge or representation, torture, murder, universal surveillance, and preemptive war of conquest.

But that didn't seem to be enough to wake us up.

Perhaps waking up to the fact that our economy has been destroyed, and that we are now literally owned by the Chinese and other foreign enemies, might finally cause us to think, and act.

Perhaps the founding fathers were right after all, and Bush and all of his accomplices should be impeached and tried for betraying them, and our beloved Constitution.

Or perhaps we will simply continue to head full speed down the path to our own destruction.

It's up to us fellow Americans. Do we value our freedom and humanity so little that we no longer deserve them? Or will we once again stand to defend and uphold American liberty?"

"Fellow Citizens,

Until prices are brought into line with wages we will have no economic recovery.

This means that a falsely valued $750,000.00 home will have to be brought down to its real value, $75,000.00.

And all the governments of the world pouring all the cash taxpayers of the world have left into an effort to sustain false prices will fail.

That's why socialism, communism, and fascism have always failed.

Because their economic, as well as humanitarian, models do.

And there is no better recipe for disaster than corporate capitalism on the way up, accompanied by corporate socialism on the way down."

Well, with total control of the White House, the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court, for SIX YEARS, why didn't they? I mean, WHAT MORE IS NEEDED?

But, point taken. Both parties were enthralled by deregulation and globalization. And indeed, it seemed the right thing to do, at the time. Its just that, the inability to do a sanity check for 6 years to make sure our capitalism wasn't going 'irrationally exhuberant' was the responsibility of the party in power. Its fine to be 'pro-capitalism', but the dangers of irrational capitalism aren't exactly unknown. It takes a unique kind of unquestioning attachment to capitalism to not even ASK your own gov't agencies to look into allegations of blind greed. Thats inconsistent with Democratic rule, Thats totally consistent with Bush Republicanism.

"Wow.

Socialism in The United States of America.

All of the sudden.

Just like secret prisons, illegal abduction, indefinite incarceration without charge or representation, institutionalized torture and murder, universal surveillance without warrant, and preemptive war of conquest, all of the sudden.

And without a whimper from the American people, or the Democratic or Republican Parties.

Our heritage, now abandoned, will serve as our last tattered flag."

n 2005, what Mr Schumer thought was irrelevant, as Congress was firmly in control of Republicans. If the bill you mentioned wasn't passed, or even brought to a vote, you can't blame Chuck Schumer, and you know it.
