Is Michigan's governor an even worse piece of shit than Hosni Walker?

This goddamned idiot wants to literally turn entire local governments over to corporate thugs. Yes, literally........

What I don't like where our political process has gone is there no longer is any open debate on anything. That open political process has disappeared. They come out and say this is how it's going to be and they use every political trick to ram it through. It happened with Obamacare. It happened in Wisconsin. It happened with the invasion of Iraq. Now we have found Obamacare appropriated $105,000,000,000 for itself inside the bill without any open congressional appropriations. Trillions of dollars have been moved around without any open congressional oversight thanks to the Federal Reserve Bank.

The people have been removed from much of the governing process and much of it is done behind closed doors and in secret.

It seems like everything is an emergency and the solution is more central control.

For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
-David Rockefeller

This privatization of the government is part of the grand mop up.

Rachel Maddow should be talking about all these elitist pricks behind all of it and how long it has been going on but then she would lose her job.

Heard about this from a transplanted-Michiganite friend last night...insanity.
