It is not often that anyone, let alone a politician, says things as they are without sugarcoating and/or distorting facts to ensure that no one is offended. Such is unfortunately the ridiculous world of political correctness we are living in.
So it its surprising and unusual when a politician calls a spade a spade as this US senator did in the following short video clip as he commented on the AIG bonuses:

Ulli,
It is too bad that our people can’t address congress like this fellow from the U.K. did parliment. We need people here to speak out against all the wasteful spending our country has been doing and still is. We don’t need a war in Iraq or Afghanistan, all that is needed is good intelligence and send a drone plance with a hellfire misslie to deal with the problem. Those people are so busy over there killing their own people that they don’t have time to harm us here. So lets get out of the mid-east and let them kill each other then when they are finished and become strong again deal with it as needed. This has been going on for thousands of years and we can’t change that with only a few hundred thousand pounds of bombs and many military person’s lives. Until they show love and compassion for each other they can’t have peace.
This MEP’s remarks are quite interesting. Is it possible, as he accused the Prime Minister of, I believe he said to, “buy your way out of recession and to borrow your way out of debt?” If so, are we doing that here, in the U.S? To me, it’s an interesting question, especially when the Fed’s balance sheet in September was about 800 billion and now is about 10 trillion. And this doesn’t even account for T.A.R.P., or I mean stimulus.
