Trying to accurately and powerfully distill the hypocrisy

I'm trying to make a powerful pamphlet that will appeal to and wake up those who are still asleep - it's also a stern rebuke to our legislators, who I believe have the greatest governing power and who are the most corrupt. I also want to make an undeniable case against the odious lies being perpetrated by the GOP. Please read this and tell me what I'm missing, or should be missing, or have just plain wrong - in other words please critique:
Fact: The wars initiated by the Bush regime in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost over 4 trillion dollars - that's roughly the same amount attributed to President Obama's deficit. Here are the numbers . . .
CLINTON (NON - DEFICIT) $46 billion SURPLUS
BUSH DEFICIT : $10.5 trillion.
OBAMA DEFICIT: $15.2 trillion.
A 10.5 trillion dollar deficit is what you get when give the super rich tax breaks and start two decade long wars. And who do we owe this money to? The Federal Reserve - we borrow all of our money, at interest, from the Federal Reserve. Who makes out like a bandit with a 15.2 trillion dollar deficit? The Federal Reserve. Who pays for it? You do, but no one is going to bail you out - you're on your own, because your legislators don't work for you, they work for the Banking cartel, the Insurance Cartel, the Energy Cartel, the Defense Industry Cartel.
Fact: George Bush initiated the bailouts.
Fact: The bailouts were bullied and rushed through congress because the banking cartels were threatening to toss the nation into the abyss economically speaking - it was extortion (the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were also started under the same kind of false pretense - a very old intrigue that has become very fashionable again.).
Fact: The economic "crisis" didn't occur, it was orchestrated/enabled by a deliberate lack of government oversight during the Bush (or should I say Cheney/Rumsfeld) administration.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle are taking credit for applying a tourniquet to a hemorrhaging economy and a unsustainable monetary system while simultaneously denouncing these bailouts when it serves to placate their gullible constituents. Washington dropped the ball. Our government en masse let the people they are supposed to be representing down. We were sold out, and our government has been completely privatized and turned into a plutocracy. Now, if you have any confusion with regard to the purpose behind the Occupy Movement, reread this post.
