It seems that there are more than just tin-foil-hat-wearing fringe blogs that have decided to take up the truthiness hunt as CNBC's Rick Santelli exposes the 'fibbing' in statistics that has become more than mainstream thinking. From the 35% 'untruth' of the Clinton-era tax cuts and wage rates (with no explcit wealth assessment and a total ignorance of inflation) to the 75% 'untruth' of the millionaires-and-billionaires tax when it's really on salaries opver $250k; Santelli's blood pressure reaches mercurial levels as he exclaims that Middle Class America should pay attention: How do we expect honesty in negotiation when they're fibbing about truths to such an extent, "all they're after isn't fixing the economy, it's your bucks!" A refreshing three-minute glimpse of reality on a quiet day...

Now that Santelli has said that they don't give a crap about you, your health, your job, your family, or your security, but instead, ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY, will you believe it now? When other people have said the exact same thing, you labeled them "tin-foil hat" fringe nutcases. Where did he get HIS hat?? Now that the euphoria of re-electing the saviour of mankind has ebbed, reality is starting to be recognized, which is --- we don't have enough money (even if EVERY AMERICAN gave them everything they had) to pay the bills we have accumulated. And our "leaders" are looking EVERYWHERE for money. THAT is a FACT. Now, it's gonna start to hurt. Bush's fault again.
