Absolutely correct! And especially watch who becomes "consultants" for the companies that were "bailed-out" and received billions, when their political careers come to an end. The politicians bailed-out their own futures, not ours, and they did it world-wide. The following G20 meeting was a farce, with no lessons learnt, but the status quo maintained.
Business is bigger than most governments, and certainly ours. In 1986, the 28th largest company in Japan could buy Australia lock, stock and barrel, 4 times over and be left with some chump change. People need to come to understand how BIG business is able to manipulate markets, workforces within industries across nations, to set their own political agendas. The mining industry currently is an excellent example, by withdrawing a little investment, affecting a few workers, and combined that with some advertising, and suddenly Rudd is usurped, and they save $20 billion per year. And put it this way...if I was in their position, that’s precisely what I would do too! Admittedly, Rudd was politically naive to make such an announcement 3 months prior to an election, and has to wear some of the responsibility of his own demise. But how long did it take them to usurp him? From the time of the initial announcement, it was only a matter of a few weeks.
There's a much bigger picture that we all must come to better understand, to have any hope of proper government, and what our expectations of government are or should be. But dogma is dead and only exists as political gain-say and facade. The world is ruled by business and banking, and because they cross all nations, are bigger than any one nation. This is a reality we collectively must better understand and appreciate.
Maybe I should say, all of the old dogma is dead, and we're on the verge of creating new dogma.
