FL District 24
For the new wave of American progress.
Precious Things
by Nicholas Ruiz III

Whatever debt deal is struck between the two prevailing factions
will be primarily a pact of collusion. Thoughtless aristocrats win – at
the expense of the majority of Americans who continue with record
losses on a variety of levels. Exchanging cap feathers from largely
connected paymasters, the political jesters will cartwheel out of
Capitol Hill like ‘winners.’

Make no mistake – both sides aim to deliver austerity down the
barrel of a gun to the American people. And for us, it’s not a matter
of whether or not any of the current crop of politicians will block it –
they won’t. It will be a matter of undoing what they’ve done in the
next cycle. To do that, we will need more than token Democrats.

Will the U.S. default on its payments? Not likely. But if it does, you
can bet all of the major financial interests will know it ahead of time
and be short every financial instrument that seems set to implode.
Robotic traders know many markets are due for a large correction -
what better way to precipitate it than with Grecian spectacle?

You won’t benefit from this – but many of them will. And it is why we
need a Public Trust – to hedge against the hedgers.

In every sense, Capitol Hill has already defaulted on its people, and
by every measure appears to enjoy the prospects of continuing to
do so right through 2012 and beyond, notwithstanding exceptions,
such as Bernie Sanders (I-VT) et al.

So what is the jigsaw falling into place for us? The New Deal legacy
of widening prosperity is in default. Brick by brick, blow by blow, it
is being dissembled under the auspices of ‘reform.’ Cutting Social
Security, Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment insurance; a paltry
minimum wage that remains untethered to the CPI, and thus
suppresses all other wages above it by keeping the bottom of the
scale, anchored oh so low; a persistently bloated defense budget,
rampant tax evasion by patricians and corporations, degradation of
the atmosphere and environment, from CO2 levels to world-wide
fish stocks – the corporate hand of fate continues to turn the wheel.

Hoover thought nothing was possible after the Crash of 1929 – FDR
everything. What tack would you take? It makes all the difference in
the world.

Republicrats continued to raise $millions this second fundraising
quarter, in order to ensure the New Deal legacy goes down in
flames. This is what they want. It’s what their paymasters want. It’s
what they have been working toward since FDR. We are outgunned,
but never outnumbered – make those numbers count by
volunteering your time and money to people that will work for you,
and work to further human progress, rather than increase America’s
suffering with their indifference to our shared human struggle.

By the way, Alan Grayson just announced he will run for Congress
in 2012 – love him or hate him – please recognize that he is an
important soldier in the war against those that are indifferent to the
majority of citizen-voters of the United States. Help us both to make
this fight a fair one.

Will you help to put this progressive Democrat in Congress, so I can
join Sanders et al. in order to stop them? I hope that you will.
