Why are american leaders making so many national policies that are taking us down the wrong path?

Question

I mean, if you take a close look at almost every thing our national leaders favor or every major law they pass, it seems to run smack against whats best for the majority of the people in this country or just outright against whats best for the country. why is that?

Please also indicate which party you lean towards after you answer.

Answer 1

These policies are aimed mostly at pleasing big corporate lobbies. The present government is forwarding insane policies that have nothing to do with the goals they publicly admit to. Bush never intended to win Iraq. Winning would have meant leaving it behind to fend for itself. That was never the plan.
Arms lobbies, oil lobbies and the bottom lines of countless of other corporations are the ones being served by these policies. They are also doing it at the cost of unprecedented debt. They don't give a hoot about peace, democracy, stability, terrorism, or the well-being of the American public.
It must be said.

By the way, the Bush administration has just agreed to a $50 billion + "aid" package nominally aimed at blocking off Iran. This aid will mostly take the form of state-of-the art U.S. weapons, because apparently, the problem with the Middle East is that there are not enough weapons there already. In 10 - 15 years, these weapons will most likely end up in the wrong hands, and we get to act surprised and do it all over again.

Independent: I don't believe either of the present major parties' main goals is to create a better world.

Answer 2

Simple. The New World Order.
The North American Union to be exact.
Nafta was the first step. It put my state dead last in emloyment and at the top of foreclosures.
This is not getting any MSM coverage.
Basically the NAU merges US with Mexico and Canada to exploit cheap labor for maximum profit and sets up a supernational government to circumvent our constitution.
Read the summary at SPP.gov- It's unbeleivable but true.

Answer 3

America is a republic. As such, it is supposed to be about the rights and liberties of everyone, not "what is best for the majority".

After all, the majority might decide that it is best for them if all fortunes exceeding $150,000 net worth are forfeit to the government.

Right after which you'd see a huge surge in once prosperous elders asking for handouts from the government and an even bigger surge in upper middle class folk trying to hide their capital overseas -- which would depress the dollar something fierce.

get real. most government interventions are NOT for the best -- they're for politics.
