Yes there has been little reason to vote when there are nothing but "machine" candidates on the ballot; civic duty has nothing to do with it. Recessions are in fact cures for hyper-stimulated economies, and his drug-addict analogy is quite good. The bailout was an idiotic move whose purpose was to keep the financial fatcats in their private jets and corner offices; had we let their little empires collapse, their companies' assets would today be in more diverse and capable hands. Should Schiff say good things about the U.S. when its government is full of glad-handers who are selling us down the river every day? Hmmm. So Schiff sat on the beach testing out our unemployment system ... sounds like he did nothing worse than most of the people on unemployment do, and at least he's got the guts to talk about it. Finally, he and his volunteers are scaring the crap out of regular Republicans? I couldn't think of a better endorsement. Regular Republicans and regular Democrats have led us down the primrose path, and I myself couldn't think of a better solution than a clean sweep.
