Nearly 70 Years Later And This Is Where America Is At

With the way the Republicans are carrying on, you'd think they throw nickels around like they are manhole covers.
They spent like drunken sailors when George Bush, Jr. was in the Oval Office but now that Barack Obama is President of the United States, they want to save and cut the budget and throw the elderly off Medicare and gut Social Security so that people have to scrounge and come crawling to the likes of Mr. Potter (remember the old goat miser in "It's A Wonderful Life"?) OR to put it in current times, come crawling to their corporate masters.
Well, I'm with George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart in the accompanying clip below) and I will not bow to these scumbags and their idealism about how they envision the future of the United States of America.
Republican Mitch McConnell (Senate MINORITY leader from Kentucky) and GOP House leaders Eric Cantor (Virginia) and Paul Ryan (Wisconsin) and of course, House speaker John Boehner (Ohio) could care less about the American people.
Why?
Because they lick the corporate boots and that's all they are about.
They are also backed by a bought and paid for U.S. Supreme Court and the five right wing ideologues that continue to screw the American worker with the asinine decisions that do NOTHING for the United States of America.

Anyway, I've said enough...

Check out the two minute clip below and envision Old Man Potter as the Republicans and Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey playing the role of the American people.

Think about it.
