This really puts the stimulus bill into prospective.
How does a guy like Chuck Schumer continue to be a senator? Maybe he is right, the majority of American people don't care, because they are completely indifferent and ignorant of what goes on beyond their reality TV and "E!" network. The American public schools have done their jobs. Several generations of oatmeal filled skulls now are registered to vote. The illiteracy rate in Detroit is now 49%.
I took an informal poll at work, and not one associate could tell me who Barney Frank is. I tried to explain but was asked "who the hell are Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae??"
I wish I could feel more optimistic about the future...

This is why a true democracy is scary (most people just don't care enough to learn what the politicians are doing), even with our form of representitve republic the politicians are finally figuring out how to use the ignorance of the average voter to their advantage. Good post
Barney Frank is Oscar Meyer's brother wiener, isn't he?
Yes.. but he's the kosher version, right?
