It might be interesting someday to discuss the impact of wiping out the entitlement to basic poverty relief and creating a sub-minimum wage workfare replacement workforce. Sawing the rungs off of the proverbial ladder out of poverty has surely played a role in the continued economic decline of the US/growth of permanent deep poverty.

Every single one of these questions needs an answer. If you are going to run the Treasury Dept let’s hear your answers and not double-talk. If you have no answers then we know who you really stand for and don’t want you to run for this very important office if it’s not for “WE THE PEOPLE” the American tax payers!!!!

Lew’s association with Clinton and company might mean adherence to Bubba’s mentality of screw welfare mothers and try to cut earned benefits.

However, if we are lucky, he has been dreaming of this moment and its opportunities, and he will bring eternal wisdom of truth and justice to the job. In his heart I think Lew knows what to do, and the only question is whether he has the character to use that knowledge, despite threats, bribes and all the weapons of the financial industry.

Mr Eskow encapsulated the WHOLE TRUTH in the current Beltway mythology of the “Deficit” drama and Mr. Lews role in the propagation of the whole mess a’ la Mr. Rubin/Summers start to the present, where us undergrounders that have faithfully been paying our 7% mortgages are left holding the empty bag while Wall Street Ponzi Mill Bankers keep filling theirs with Bonus’s, paid with our taxpaying Dollars.
As a SOLUTION MANIFESTO!, for just about everything in DC I would only add two other queries;

Do you understand that full PUBLIC FUNDING of Political Campaigns might be the only thing that can literally SAVE US?

Do you understand that Global Climate Change will render all tax discussions moot when we have to contend with serial storm recoveries, Floods, Wildfires and Heatwaves across the broad exposure our Nation occupies? You know? Coast to coast to coast? (Just wait till a “Sandy” hits the Gulf Coast!)

That he can even provide answeres to those questions would surprise me in the administration of Status Quobama and Clinton retreads that created the mess!

But, you have to ASK!

I hope you send these questions to all the Democrats that will be at the hearings. They just might get asked.
