Federal and State Financial Woes and Some Solutions

I've never understood why it is a politician can be asked a question by a news reporter, and never give a straight answer to the question.  I would love to be able to stand right in front of all of these guys and ask them questions and not allow them to give long winded answers that no only side track what the question was, but has nothing to do with the question. I think they've been allowed off the hook for way to long. It will be up to the American people to make sure changes take place in Washington D.C.

Solutions: (1) politicians can no longer run negative campaign ads
               (2) politicians must give direct answers to any and all questions posed to them
               (3) politicians can no longer lie, stretch the truth, manipulate or any perform any other type of
                   behavior that would hide the truth when running for office.
              (4) politicians must be held to a higher standard than we hold some athletes.
              (5) politicians must talk to people "all" across the country. Not just those on the East Coast or
                  Washington D.C. There are those of us out here in the mid west, southern western states, ie: AZ.
                 those of us on the West Coast.  We're tired of politicians saying they're speaking for us when
                they've never even polled us, spoke to us, called us, sent us a questionnaire or anything else.

Also, the Republicans must stop talking about making new jobs.  They keep saying they will make new jobs here, there and this type or this type.  They need to come clean with the American people.  The jobs are gone. They are not and will not be coming back.  Many of them have gone over seas, most for good.  Others are being eliminated due to the change in technology.  Others will be impermanently gone simply because machines are now doing the work people once did.  It's time for the American people to wake up, stop placing blame, pick yourselves up by your boot straps and find a new direction in life.  Many of you are going to have to find a way, to make your own way.  And I'm one of those who need to find my own way.  Jobs are gone people.  They are gone and they aren't coming back.  Not like we once knew.  I strongly suggest that some of you find something you truly enjoy doing and try to turn into income.  Maybe some of you like to build things with wood, some of you might like working with leather.  There is a call right now by other American people for "made in America" products.  As they said in the movie, "Field of Dreams" you build it and they will come.  Just make sure it reflects american made quality and you should be fine.  It's over people. The days of walking into a place for job and walking out with it, are over.  The easy life is done.  And we've done it to ourselves.....How you ask??  By taking deregulation to the extreme as well as allowing the american companies to ship our jobs overseas. It was, in my opinion, the beginning of the end and this is the end result. However, I'm pretty sure we've not yet seen the bottom.  But it's coming....
