Two days ago I watched the documentary «Inside Job», a documentary of the crisis we’ve been in for the past three years.
There is one thing that really shocked me: the last part when they show Obama saying before the US elections that the crisis arrived because of a system out of control thanks to the previous deregulation that had took place with Bush, Clinton and so on. Obama pointed clearly out that this had to change, that he was going set up a new regulation system that would prevent new crisis in the future.
But once Obama won the elections, he started to put in the most important economic departments and seats the same people that had provoked the crisis. And the thing is that after three years of Obama’s government, there has been no changes when it comes to economical policies, the market continues not being regulated so the same people that brought us here can keep doing the same thing. And the «thing» is that is getting worse and worse.
Obama is such a disappointment, or maybe not. No public health care, no end for Cuban restrictions, no regulation. Too many expectations were set for Obama, and Obama has done barely nothing. The «Yes, we can» has became a «Yes, they can»: same people are there taking control of our money and our governments. They want US to pay for what THEY did. Justice seems to be useless.
2012 is coming. Wouldn’t it be fun that all these Armageddon theories take place that year after all? Don’t be scared. Armageddon in this case means «a very deep social change». The future societies will look back at us and think that these were crazy times where blindness would be everywhere. Don’t you see it?
