politicians not for us

We have a government that will do what it wants to do for the next two years.The worst is yet to come. From the present vantage point, it certainly seems a daunting challenge for any President (or Congress) from either party even to begin the task of dismantling the military-industrial complex, ending the pall of national security" secrecy and the "black budgets" that make public oversight of what our government does impossible, and bringing the President's secret army, the CIA, under democratic control.

The nation is built on a capitalistic system where the big corporations control the entire economy, including the US government. Big corporations finance the political campaigns of every elected public official who in turn tends to protect corporate interests first and foremost
