All of this is being done for a reason. The United States, is, for all practical purposes, shamelessly, nakedly BANKRUPT and INSOLVENT. The politicians are doing their damndest to not have to state it out in the open, but the United States, is 'Over With' and no longer a sovereign nation, nor is it a nation based upon rule-of-law, common-decency, morality, or fairness. It is simply a TORTURE GULAG, populated by selfish, ignorant fools who bleat like sheep when their government shears them down to the flesh, and expects them to like their new scab coat. [source]
