Debt, Interest Rates, the Constitution, & us. Greg Palast on Georgia race - voter suppression
I woke up this morning with interest rates on my mind. And it is concerning how one can intertwine these issues into a reality few have been conditioned to see. Greg Palast visits on Georgia race.
In the schools in Panama and several worldwide, we learned Panamanian, the United States, and World history. To this day, I remember memorizing the nine provinces of Panama — now ten —the capitals of every country, and the 50 states of the United States, among many other international subjects.
I still remember that I learned of the greatness of the United States Constitution. Again, even in Panama, where there was a sovereignty issue with the United States over the Canal Zone, we learned that. I joined the board of Move to Amend, an organization committed to ensuring that money is not defined as speech and that corporations are no longer treated as persons. I met David Cobb there. He was one of the founders and board members of the organization and a former Green Party Presidential candidate.
David Cobb and I sat down to discuss the United States Constitution. I was talking about how great the Constitution was not because of its past but the elastic clause that allowed it to evolve. David shocked me.
“That is only partially true,” Cobb responded. “The Constitution is a property rights document. It is not a human rights document. It could not even conceive that nature has rights.”
David had a lot more to say. As I read the document and watched the performance of our judiciary, it all came into place. One should remember that at its inception, the document needed ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights. It also required modification to give more than 3/5ths human-hood to some of its population deemed less than and enslaved.
Few will initially fail to see what the Constitution has to do with our debt, interest rates, the plight of the poor and the middle class, and more. Here are a couple of teasers.
President Biden signed an executive to forgive the debt of poor and middle-class citizens, an action often afforded corporations in some form or the other. Yet, the Supreme Court will likely use its powers to stop it.
The corporations are responsible for the supply chain problems, shipping our jobs overseas, and price gouging, all causing inflation. And we, the American people, are responsible for carrying the burden of cleaning up their mess by paying higher prices and paying unfair interest rates.
On another note: Renowned journalist Greg Palast will be with us at the top of the hour discussing the Georgia Senate election between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock. Greg will also discuss his new documentary Vigilante.
