America's Meltdown.

Who's buying the the accusations being made on both sides, democrates and republicans, about who is the blame for all the problems now facing us? Lets face it, in a democracy the people are to blame for what happens in their government and society as a whole, especially over the long term, and it has been a long term problem. Does anyone really believe that when a president goes on national television for all the world to see and in a very arrogant way with a smile on his face and lie to us all, that doesn't send a message that lying and corruption, particularly in high places is acceptable, cool and the norm, and what is higher than the American Presidency?   That's what Bill Clinton, a democrate/liberal did as well as many other things that seriously hurt this country. What kind of individuals will now see public service as the place to be, espeically those already with special status and the "entitled" mentality? Every leftwing radical special interest group and those who identify themselves with those groups flooded through the gates of of every governmental agency during the Clinton years, espeically federal, and entrenched themselves in them. They took over top level positions, Human resource depts., lawenforcement, judicial branch and shaped them to their liking and made sure only their types made it in, or were retained. Those not like them were converted or eleminated, through criminal abusive conduct I might add. Now, many of these agencies are regulatory/oversight agencies that are there to watch over other agencies and private institutions and make sure they are following the law and doing the right thing for the citizens of this country and the country as a whole. Private institutions like, Wall Street, Merril Lynch, AIG insurance, Enron, etc., Etc. Etc. Well, govn't is corrupt, incompetent and dysfuntional, why should those being regulated worry? They don't and consequently we're in the situation we are presently in.
As I stated, most, if not all our federal agencies are dysfuntional, over budgetted, and loaded with incompetent and corrupt individuals, top to bottom. However, it's not the political appointee at the head of these agencies who really run it, although they need to be held accountable for what goes on in them, it's the workers, and the career managers just below the top person who really run the agencies, whether corrupt and dysfuntional or proficiently, and proficientcy is not the way they are run today. Like I said, all are that way today but lets look at a couple of the worse, like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Dept. of Justice (DOJ), two in particular, the Denver Offices who work hand in hand engaged in illegal conduct and protecting, covering and helping the other carryout illegal acts against anyone who raises valid issues of illegal conduct in them and by them. This includes falsifying records/documents, making false accusations against honest employees, spreading rumors and lies that honest employees are wife beaters, child molestors, involved in drug use/sale, going to neighborhoods spreading lies, getting the assistance of judges and attornies and other investigators to help create such a sick sleazy perception of good people, basically making them appear as they really are, ie-the perception game And even using private institutions like the ones failing and ones they are to regulate to do this. So, what now does this private company believe is ok? Now keep focused, these facts and examples are to give you the big picture of what's happening in our society and gov't and why we are now having all these problems facing the health a viability of our nation.
EPA alone receives over 4 Billion dollars annually to run that agency, much more money indirectly to fund and operate related programs etc. They operate that agency in a very corrupt and fraudulant manner, using others, like other state and federal agencys in like manner and to support and coverup their illegal and incompetent conduct. Basically EPA is an Enron, AIG, Dysfuntional Saving and Load institutions but the difference is they have a bottomless pit of funds, ie the Taxpayer/US treasury. There are simply no rules or even goals that it must achieve or adhere to to determine if they are doing the job or not. They will say there are but none are really binding or there are so many loopholes they can make any excuse for not doing the job they are suppose to or falsify enough documents to make it appear there is  excuse after excuse for not accomplishing a thing, sometimes over many years and even decades, the Watershed program, water contamination, pesticides in Grd Water, endangered species, Federal Facilities, Superfund etc., are examples. Denver EPA buried radioactive waste in Denver subburbs under some rocks. A laymen would know you don't do this and so do numerous others now that they and their children have come down with cancers directly related to this crime.   EPA refused to admit error, to put it midly and simply used millions or more taxpayer dollars to relocate the radioactive waste. What happened to EPA and it's managers/staff, nothing, no that's not right, they got promoted, moved up to higher positions making more money and with more power to do more destructive things.   Sound like CEO's of corrupt institutions, it is.
Democrates and liberals will say this is because of the republicans, the fact is most of the incompetent, dysfuntional and corrupt people coming into gov't is during the liberal, democratic administrations, espeically the Clinton years. Once they are in they are there permanently no matter what administration is in. During these years rules are relaxed as far as competency, performance, both quantity and quality, goes for individual quality too, and agency budgets go through the roof, accountability becomes non-existanct and hiring of like people now increases.   They get bigger, more dysfuntional, corrupt and loaded with all the wrong people. The next administration is now stuck with this mess and we know what's going to happen.
What about our economy. Ups and downs are somewhat cyclical, repetitious. The fact of the matter, the first Bush Administration inherited a downturn from the previous one, he did all the right things to turn it around and Bill Clinton got credit for a upswing in the economy. Hell, it probably would have lasted longer if he wasn't in. Bill messed it up again and the next Bush got the problem, compound it with the mess in gov't agencies, private institutions following suit, and our judical, enforcement system a mess and SURPRISE look were we're at today.   And of course the liberal, democrates who actually have gotten us here, and of course some repubicans certainly didn't do their job, but lets not forget the public who is utimately responsible for what their officals do, are all now pointing fingers at those who actually had the least to do with the problems now facing us, and of course many good persons railroaded by leftwing liberals and corrupt employees etc. out of public service simply for doing their jobs. You, the public have to take responsibility for that. So, I ask you, who is to blame for the mess this country is in and what are you going to do about it. Oh, liberal and democrates I already know your answer.
