PutinToon 26 - How Our Money is Sucked Out of the U.S.

***WARNING: this article contains no humor - it is extremely serious***

HUCK FINN COMMENTS: The above diagram of Bush's "economic program" says it all. No wonder we are in recession, possibly headed for depression unless our government wakes up and smells some Starbucks Coffee.

Follow the arrows for a simple explanation of how our money is being rapidly sucked out of the U.S. This is how the American economy works today, thanks to decisions made by the Bush administration, Congress and "specific lobbyist groups" which I won't bother to mention.

Remember when you vote this year that Congress consists of both Republicans and Democrats. Congress approved the War. They backed Bush to find the WMD. You can't blame Bush

for everything.

If Congress wasn't happy with Bush, they should have impeached him for his cover ups on the war, just like the Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton for his "blow up" cover up.

Check out an article in The Wall Street Journal article, "Lobbyists Smoothed the Way for a Spate of Foreign Deals," by Bob Davis and Dennis Berman. If you wonder how "economic programs" such as the one above happen, I assure you lobbyists had their hand in it. Capitol Hill loves lobbyists. Bush likes them. Republicans like them. Democrats like them. Lobbyists serve a purpose. They're the lubricant of the political cogwheel called Capitol Hill.

A few years ago, the American government raised hell about a Dubai company buying ports in America. Not anymore, thanks to the efforts of lobbyists.

Our government has approved $37 billion dollars worth of investments the Middle East into Wall Street firms like Citibank and Merrill Lunch, thanks to the hard and wonderful work of our lobbyists, who always have the American public interest at heart. How come nobody talks about national security now?

My recommendation is to change the name of Wall Street to Middle East Street. What do you think? But I guess that's our democracy and capitalism at work. Good for us.

So, now we have the "Masters of the Universe" on Wall Street become like little sheep, bought up by Middle East investors...

...Da, the same investors who sell us oil for $100 per barrel because our politicians have jerked around for the last 30 years on making us energy independent. It's the same investors who receive money from us every time  we go to the pump to fill up our SUV's.

Moving forward, we should change Wall Street from "bulls and bears" to "sheeps and wolves."  We have become the sheep while we've managed to feed the wolves at the gas pump.

What would Putin do? Would he allow America to be bought up by unstable regimes in the Middle East? Would Putin have to hire Giuliani to fight against the wolves of the Middle East and make America secure again?

AUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I can hear the sound of the wolves in the background.

I couldn't figure out what you were talking about saying "Putin for president." Putin is the president and he'll always be o.0

But then I saw "of the US"
