Can someone explain why Criminal Corporate Greed, as exemplified by Enron, is worse than an entire generation (ours) "stealing" our children's future (back to the 11TRILLION dollar debt number), which is somehow seen as the act of a benevolent government? Both parties have created this debt, and by extension all of us who have voted these people in have. We are the "shareholders" who are allowing this to happen.
If Enron was evil, then 11trillion dollar debt is too.
-- this is an emotional, not logical appeal. I know it is not an apple to apple comparison, but can anyone really wrap their mind around a number like 11trillion. Enron, and all the other corporate scandals, they hit home, the numbers make sense and there are personalities attached to each theft. But 11 trillion, that doesn't mean anything really, and the faces attached are more likely to be starving kids being fed or politicians just trying to help their community, then some evil or "greedy" corporate suit. But which one will have the longer negative affect on the United States?
ok done
atleast for now.
