Maher on Hand-Jobs and Empire

I've been focusing on intensely serious topics the last few weeks. But if we can't laugh a little then why even attempt to change the world? A world without laughter is not a world I want to fight for.

Below is Bill Maher making up new rules for the U.S economy and calling an empire an empire. People do a lot of complaining about government and politics but Bill has the guts to call out Teabaggers and so-called Liberals alike for their hypocrisy and their inability to acknowledge the hard choices U.S citizens will need to force their governments to make.

Anyone who can effectively satirize empire economics while using the term "hand job" has my attention...

As just for those who actually think that elite "conservatives" support less government spending, take a look at the following facts:

The largest Presidential spending and debt increase in the Last 25 Years (in order of total amount spent during a 4 year term):

                                              START    GDP debt END     GDP debt Increase  
G.W. Bush (R)                        63.5%            83.4%                       +20.0%
George H.W.Bush (R)           51.1%           66.1%                        +13.0%
Ronald Reagan (R)                32.5%            43.8%                        +10.8%
Ronald Reagan (R)                43.8%            53.1%                        +9.3%
G.W. Bush (R)                        56.4%           63.5%                         +7.1%
Nixon/Ford (R)                       35.6%            35.8%                        +0.2%
Bill Clinton (D)                        66.1%            65.4%                        -0.7%
Jimmy Carter (D)                    35.8%            32.5%                        -3.3%
Bill Clinton (D)                        65.4%            56.4%                         -9.0%

It is no wonder the military-industrial-complex annually makes billions of dollars and the bankers have unlimited ability to spend and manipulate the markets - the Republican party has emptied the national coffers into the accounts of a handful of Caucasian billionaires. Do we really need to say more?
