So congress is passing a $1.1. trillion spending bill that’s already passed the House of Representatives and will also pass through the Senate, despite outspoken mavericks like Elizabeth Warren threatening to “try” and stop it.
The problems is that the RepubliCons, with the help of many DemoRats, have put in a provision to roll back parts of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act that’s supposed to stop the Piggy Banks from continuing to make risky decisions or bets and still be bailed out, if they lose money or collapse, by the us, the government. Yes, the government can bail the Piggy Banks out again by giving them our tax money like they/Obama did after they nearly tanked our entire economy in 2008.
The reality is that our government, the DemoRats and RepubliCons, remain in bed with Wall Street, tied together through things like the “transplanting of officials,” whereby government and corporate executives go back and forth, taking jobs in one another’s industries, making the all a part of the same gang. This is also happens with government officials and/or congressmen taking jobs as lobbyist and then going back and bribing their former colleagues to pass bills, or otherwise, that support corporate greed.
My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples.
The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings.
The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on.
Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout!
