The Breet Report

The economic downturn has lead to unprecedented amounts of money funneled into “too big to fail” risks. Deals are done between Washington and Wall Street, but no one knows what the full deals are or what the impact of the deals will be when it comes to citizens. (That was inaccurate – bonuses. No, there is no way for a citizen to know that the deals have not changed.) Here is the BILLION(S) DOLLAR question –

“Why hasn’t the government opened their books to show what they own now, since these deals/bailouts have happened?” That question was asked earlier this week, and there has been little success in find the article again. (Might have been under Bloomberg.com) Um – and no one else jumped up this week to peruse this question.

Citizens have a right to know what the government owns, because well, those are our tax dollars and (supposedly) government officials work for us – the common fellow on Main Street. The indication at this point is America has turned into the ‘Great American Yard Sale’ (Times, 2008).

Back to Wall Street…..

Wonder if Wall Street was tired of not being as famous as Hollywood actors at this point? With the hearings and media coverage that goes on now, it‘s like a who‘s who. Spot light much guys??

Since the common citizen does not get answers (to the questions that get overlooked) — What is the bigger thing, being hidden? What is it that the common citizen is being distracted from next? What is the next Ace up the sleeve? This is the only logical conclusion that can come from – “too big to fail” motto.

***Side Note*** There will be more environmental pieces here again – soon. Apparently, there is talk about removing the polar bears from the endangered species list.  That was reported on Bloomberg.com (under the environment section), by Tina Seeley, October 22, 2009.  Makes for a – “whaaa?”

Over the course of the last ten months, there is a friend of mine that has diligently given their two-cents in providing their point of view for different bills before they are passed in The House, or Congress.  Within those last ten months, there have been responses for acknowledging their concern (and/or venting) about, “why are you even considering this [insert action here]?” The part about being able to “voice public opinion” and create “transparency within the government”  thing, is killing me inside with laughter.  (Sad, but true.)

Voice

The voice of the people have clearly stated, Americans are tired of the political, and corporate capitalism that has shaped our nation.  The greed factor has pinched the nerve of every citizen that (and I quote from the many politicians that have said this), “did the right thing by paying their bills, playing by the rules of the/their system, and (now) on hard times.”

The greed factor is not an original observation – not by a long shot.  Every respectable person has pointed this out, and screaming for reform.  The voice of Americans that are facing (rumored) layoffs and sinking accounts – are still wondering about their voice in all of this.  Those individuals and others, the voice of Americans, are even using these pre-defined letters for The House and Congress; thus, getting back pre-defined…rather… automatic letters.

Automatic Letters

The voice of Americans have been reduced to automatic letters.  The representatives (in having read one of these letters) is still completely unaware of their constituents voice.

This automatic letter system is a sham. (That is only an opinion.) Americans are lead to believe that their representative has taken the time to read, and RESPOND KNOWLEDGEABLE – giving them false hope of their voice being heard.

Thought

Seemingly (or “transparently“), better action is forming to “restore” many aspects of a system that has had known problems.  (Take a pick of aspects, bank regulation, energy regulation, health care reform… and a gigantic list of known problems.)  Americans representatives have had to answer “tough questions” when it came to re-election time; yet do nothing to effectively correct issues for the voice of Americans, when/if re-elected. Let’s face it, most the representatives just kind of expect to win. Have there been the beating of hoofs on the campaign trails in their home state? Nope. Just signs.  Here is the thought in a nutshell….

How is the voice of America being heard?

Are Americans nothing but automatic letters?
Are Americans nothing but data figures on a business portfolio?
Are Americans really nothing but sheep with a number?

Ending this Observation

These are the questions that should be asked when Americans are deciding their voice.  Again, let’s face some facts, Americans are described in sorts of colorful language nowadays.  Decisions made on behalf of the (supposed) collective voice have taken situations from bad to worse.  The inability of fair communication, representation and/or transparency has even given some (as seen in the world of blogging) a sense of “giving up on America.”

Americans, just because the voice is not working right now, does not mean the original design of the system, to project the collective voice of Americans, doesn’t work. It does. It has. It will again.  The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, and other documents used to keep liberties, and even greed in check, does work.  Do not give up on being a collective voice.  Do not give up on America.  Do not give up on the fellow man, woman, or child, in this country; America is worth it.  Hope. Liberty. Freedom. All of America is worth it, however, not at the reduce rate of being an automatic generated letter.
