"DC Is a Big Bag of Suck That Couldn't Solve a Rubik's Cube If It Were All One Color"
Here's the quote of the day on the debt negotiation farce:
Today's intrepid White House pool reporter, The Hill's Sam Youngman, on the state of the negotiations: "DC is a big bag of suck that couldn't solve a rubik's cube if it were all one color."
It guess it shouldn't be surprising that Congress can't get its act together long enough to do anything to help the American people, given that most politicians:

Well, GW, a big bag of suck is what ya voted for, so a big bag of suck is what ya get!
See, it's the belief that suckage can provide solutions that is the problem here. It sucks because that's what it's designed to do.
The IMF says the US is recovering from the financial crisis....
What?!
Are the effing crazy?!
Depends on your definition of "Is' , "Financial" , and 'U.S.' (us) .
The 'Us' in U.S. is all american based global corporations which are experiencing record profitability and lowest labor costs in decades AND are sitting on 2 Trillion dollars of FRNs. That is clearly a huge albeit highly concentrated few who are recovering. Their employees are about to begin their clamor for more of those profits when the auto companies, Ford and General Motors negotiate with the UAW to take more money from the middle classes.
Financial is defined as 'not fiscal' and 'not fiduciary'. In which cases we are clearly in Intensive care if not near comatose.
And you'll have to ask the silver tongued devil, snake oil salesman that passed as a POTUS, the impeached rapist and abuse of power flake, William Fefferson Clinton, for the definition of, "is".
Do nothing you poseurs, default on what we owe the Fed, get your grubby little pimp fingers out of our lives.
The vast majority of Americans agrees that we need less interferance from these dickwads.
Go away you lawyers!
They will never be able to fix our problems. Our problems were caused by banksters and corporate elite controlling our government. When the few rule the many, the few will never be able to get the banksters and corporate elite to stop controlling them. They are vulnerable as the few. Lincoln issued money as government spending instead of as debt, and JFK tried to do this too, and look what happened to them. I think the only way to keep the banksters and corporate elite from controlling all of us is to let us have more control. We need to be able to vote on issues, not just on representatives. We would have voted for no bank bailouts. We would vote no on offensive wars. We would have voted to not have free trade. We would have made the country a better place for us, not a better place for corporations to exploit. We need to be part of the process.
Stupidity is not the reason they can't solve this. They cannot solve it because they aren't allowed to solve it in the way that would be best for the people.
Aren't allowed to solve it or are purposely hired NOT to solve, but to make matters worse, to continually create FEAR, Danger, hesitation, and chaos?
anyway to summarize those links. I only ask because im on a mobile device with crappy internet.
Well of course they couldn't solve a solitary color Rubik's cube. It would pointless to even try. No matter what move you make, it is the right one. Need an apt and far more illustrative metaphor.
Or a final admission that a nation as diverse, spread out, multi-cultural, increasingly multi-lingual, and poly sexual, and in conflict with each to the other, ( I mean really, men marrying men???, women marrying women??) is impossible to govern, at all, to finally admit that the disUnited States is a conundrum, a labyrinth, a hopeless mish-mash, a pastiche of opposites---an intolerably complex entity whose top .01% know that in this Chaos that passes for the government, that there are immense opportunities to game the system in favor of a few oligarchs, plutocrats and monopolists who can get away, literally, with murder.
TrustWho above is precisely right.
This so-called salad bowl of America is totally wrong. America is instead an historic once in a millennium economic opportunity for Capital to increase its choke hold on the people it purports to govern. And well past the date when the blood of our royalty needs to be shed to water the ground of the freedom from King George----now embodied in a monarchy of incumbents---- that it once possessed.
Well said. A nation stripped of its origins, its identity, its principles. But it is also a shockingly ignorant nation, in which everyone, including the terminally confused, gets to vote. It is a nation of 305 million selfish people with haughty lifestyle pretensions, but with little to offer in return. There is no social cohesion, no overriding belief systems, so it is a nation of 305 million constituencies of one. Those leaders chosen by the people are not fit to lead, because the people are not fit to choose. Nature abhors a vacuum, so the investment bankers planted their pirate flag on the shores of Manhattan. We are defenseless against them.
Wall Street and many Incumbents know this, a fdew of us do too:
In Chaos there is profit; the greater the chaos, the more magnificent the profit.
Pimpin ain't easy.
Calling politicians as pimps is being nice to them.
does neo-liberalism lead to nationalism or even hyper-nationalism?....err...bichezzz
double post
I'd like to report an Identity theft!
An all colour rubiks cube wouldn't need solved?? Lame writing.
How would you expect the gang of six (sides) to know that?
you're quick
Nice article GW and nice comments everyone ...let's put Govt in the trash can where it belongs..
...stop paying your taxes and funding it, you'd be amazed how quickly the parasites take notice of you (for once in decades) when you pull their socialised drip (tap into your wallet) away
Can we all finally acknowledge that we don't need government now?
yep. The IMF, WTO, CFR, UN and private international banking cartels are calling every shot. "Sovereign nation, we not" -Yoda
No offense George... All in one color sort of "Defeats" the point... I see your point though. How about playing " JAX" in wax?
Loved the line re: the cube..Had to send it out in an e-mail..
(with acknowledgement of source..ZeroHedge..)
Always up for a chuckle..
Tnx..
If they were honest, knowledgeable people with firm convictions, they couldn't get elected.
I think I need to be more clear. The reason we have worthless leaders is because that's who the people chose. You don't see recalls sweeping this country, do you? This is democracy in action. This is the result of universal suffrage, in which drooling idiots get the vote.
"The reason we have worthless leaders is because that's who the people chose."
The people don't choose anything. The money chooses and it's o&o media allow only "the chosen" to be seen. A total scam that produces hacks and cronies who further the fraud for their paymasters and themselves.
There are no recall campaigns. The voters are oblivious.
don't forget having ethics is a disqualifier
I think Obama inadvertantly made something quite clear on Friday when he complained about Republicans holding firm "because of a pledge 'we' made when 'we' were tryin' to run" for office.
It was meant to skewer the Norquist crowd, but look at what he SAID. His own position on campaign promises could not be more clear, it's all just shit "we said when we were tryin' to run" . . . which would explain why he has broken virtually every campaign promise HE made.
As for how "dysfunctional" Washington is, I don't buy it. They're managing to get things done exactly the way they want it to be done--all the apparent conflict is a dog and pony show meant to convince the people who elected them that they battled with everything they had to represent their interests.
You nailed it!! Wow, Bob ... you've come a long way!
Darn fine analogy and GW your three bulleted points ........ unfortunately apply to all politicians...... all countries......
Unfortunately,the states rights side lost. It's been down hill ever since.
The question today is, are states' rights > corporate rights?
Should a state be allowed to prohibit mountaintop removal? Should it control its airspace? Have its own environmental regulations? Maintain pure food and drug standards?
Or perhaps should we have cities' rights?
Where should the limits of precincts' rights be?
Back yards?
Floor tiles?
You see, it realy does get down to a question of how wealth and power should be distributed ... I tend to be more of a distributionist myself.
You mean like Chicago gun laws, and how those reach well beyond the city to influence the rest of the state, leading Illinois to be the only state out of 50 without concealed carry permits? But hey, at least those laws are helping to control gun violence in Chicago...oh, wait a minute...
ps: Sorry for the rant, I know that's not what you were getting at.
So floor tiles it is then (though I'd be happiest with the boundaries of my property---any outside issues I can negotiate with my neighbours). You've got my vote, too. Fuck the central planning marxist globalist pig dogs!!
You got that right!!
I can see the difficulty with just one color. Where do you start? How do you know when your done?
No, I think they would do quite well with this item. It fits their mo quite well. They would just keep f'n with something that doesn't need fixed until it was broken beyond repair.
People are wrong to believe there is always a rational solution between people who have different principles. States rights required a civil war to determine a solution.
Sadly, I think his opinion is on the high side.
