Would you believe accountability for insurance companies which have had none. You see the new healthcare law mandates it and the tards don't want to loose their monies from the banks who own the insurance companies.

“ The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity ”…William Butler Yeats, from his poem…The Second Coming.
… by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor … with New Eastern Outlook, Moscow
And a three ring circus it has been
Yeats certainly caught the essence of the American political folly that has been on stage for the past two weeks.
I was going to write this column two days ago about the phony government shut down which turned into a three ring circus.
But I knew we were close to a resolution and I wanted to include the fanny covering excuses that always come out when the dust settles.
I’m glad I did. We not only got excuses, but the long knives came out, and not just to jab the opposing party, but Republicans and conservatives were even slicing each other up, which some felt was good for the country.
The language was most colorful, with new creations like ‘default deniers’, and my favorite so far, the ‘GOP gigantic tire fire’. Even media weighed in with the New York Daily News running a headline calling the House of Representatives the “House of Turds.” You just can’t make this stuff up.
The spin quotes were plentiful. From House leader John Boehner we had,
“We fought the good fight, we just didn’t win.” On the flip side of that we had this from Republican Representative Peter King of New York, “This party is going nuts…they just can’t understand what’s going on.”
And from Senator John McCain, the big kid himself, we had, “Hopefully, the lesson is to stop this foolish childishness.”
Republican Senator Orin Hatch of Utah took on the flagship conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which on Wednesday was lobbying lawmakers to vote no on the Senate compromise to re-open the federal government and avert default. On MSNBC he blasted Heritage,
“There is a real question in the minds of many Republicans now and I’m not just speaking for myself, for a lot of people, is Heritage going to go so political that it really doesn’t amount to anything anymore?… Right now, I think it’s in danger of losing its clout and its power around Washington D.C.”

So I will now throw my own term into the brawl by describing it as Republican Hari-Kari, but where they did not quite finish the job.
Lost in all the smoke bombs and verbal arrows are a few items that got lost in the battle despite the massive news coverage.
We experienced another major blow to the public’s trust in government in general, where the political elites continued with their routine response of not caring. And then had the political class seeming tone deaf to world opinion during the whole crisis, like that did not matter despite the dollar being the reserve currency.
First, the most buried part of the story. The day before the shut down coup began, and that was what it was folks, a financial coup attempt, the House leadership anticipated that the Democrats would try to bring a clean funding bill to the floor for a vote to reopen the full government.
And we learned later that there were enough Republican votes for it to pass. So what they did was just change the House rules to block motions from the floor. This is somewhat similar to carjacking your own family car and pretending you were robbed.
During the two week battle the Tea Party faction was framed as the driving force behind the shut down with the House leadership hiding behind them.
But the rule change showed they were into holding the door shut by blocking a majority of the House wanting to reopen full government operations. That is why I used the term ‘coup’. It is perfectly appropriate.
