Unfortunately that smacks desperately of the truth.
Painful.
And I know you are bitterly sarcastic, but I also note that you represent the mindset of power and capitalism run amuck among a nation that once used to pride itself on morality.
We have become that which we despise.

However, with this government there IS no accountability. The White House is just another Enron, pushing the good news, hiding the bad news and spinning tales while Rome burns.

And we know what happened with ENRON.
