11. Well, naive idiots is spot on, BUT I'm leaning more heavily toward pleasing the Wall Street overlords...

In the meantime all of us who are working are paying federal TAXES.

But I'm not getting a fucking thing for those taxes I pay. At this point I think Congress is corrupt to the point where even the intitutional Dems really don't much care about what we all want.

And I'm so FUCKING tired of it I could spit nails.

We are being taxed without representation, because these people certainly did NOT do what 98% of us wanted.

First thing: GET RID OF SCHUMER. He knew all along this would turn out like it did regardless of what he says. You know how I know? The eight Ds that voted to end the shutdown are ALL RETIRING or not running for office. What the blue FUCK???????????????????????

I'm pretty sick of it, like I say, because when O entered the WH in 2009, we HAD THE SAME KIND OF MAJORITY. Why the hell do I not have universal healthcare?????????????? Oh, that's right. The healthcare lobby and big pharma. Those reptilian greed-heads kept that off the table when EVERYBODY knew it was the right thing to do, the moral thing to do. WHEN are we going to get people in Congress that actually give a shit about something besides Wall Street PROFITS????????????????

Seriously I have fucking $10K in health care debt, my Social Security is in danger as is Medicare, I'm still working and my health 'care' insurance not only increased its level of confusion, but also the 'coinsurance' and 'copays' and deductibles AND the premiums went UP by 19.2%.

Fuck.
