This is one of the most tragic events I have written about since establishing End the Lie over eight months ago: the horrendous bill that would turn all of America into a battlefield and subject American citizens to indefinite military detention without charge or trial has passed the Senate.

To make matters even worse, only seven of our so-called representatives voted against the bill, proving once and for all (if anyone had any doubt remaining) that our government does not work for us in any way, shape, or form.

S.1867, or the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year of 2012, passed with a resounding 93-7 vote.

That’s right, 93 of our Senators voted to literally eviscerate what little rights were still protected after the PATRIOT Act was hastily pushed in the wake of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.

  1. One of the saddest things I have written about since starting End the Lie is the passage of a bill by the Senate that would turn the entire country into a war zone and imprison American citizens without accusation or trial for an indeterminate period of time.Even worse, as evidenced by the fact that just seven of our so-called representatives abstained from voting for the bill, I value the conversation about how government expenditure may boost consumer spending and generate jobs. All things considered, this blog post gives a great summary of the state of the economy today and offers insightful advice on how to proceed.
