Too Much...Too Little...Pass The Buck...
It has come to my attention this morning, while reading the news on my cell phone, that the so called Political Parties, are having a very difficult time in coming together and doing what's best for us, the country. My first thought upon reading the news, was, "We're going under". My next thought, "if there was blame to be placed, what if we were to place it upon the people of the of this country?" After all, it was the people of this country, who once again believed the lies of the Republican Party, and elected them back into office. And why is anyone listening to the so called Tea Party? They aren't for the American people. The Tea Party only has interest in their own agenda. Not that of this country as a whole. The Republican Party made it very clear, they want to get of Obama at all cost. Well, people, we're looking at that cost. They hate having a democratic in the office. It doesn't matter the race of the person. All they, the Republican's, care about is getting rid of any democrat in the presidential office. Oh, the Republican's care about "big" businesses. They have to. They're in their back pockets. No one party is really looking out for our best interest as a country. I do believe the democrats have more of an interest in our well being than the Republican party. They know if they don't take our best interest to heart, they won't stand a chance of being re-elected. But, as I stated above, the Republican party's only interest, is in getting into office. Look people, when was the last time any of them gave a straight yes or no answer to a question? Any question?? When was the last time any of them held a news conference without blaming this person, that person, this party, that party?? I will say, that those 8 years Bush was in office, he kept saying that the money would trickle down. That was his excuse for giving big businesses tax breaks and creating loop hole for them. Want to see the economy turn around faster than anyone can say, "Bankrupt"? Have all of these companies that have sent jobs over seas, bring them back. I'm pretty sure I speak for the larger majority of the American people when I say, we would be willing to pay a few dollars more for things made in this country. After all, we could afford it. Everyone would be working. There would be a strong economy. And I expect the quality would be better. At the very least, there wouldn't be constant recalls on things made in China. But over all, people, I think we need to prepare for the potential disaster of what may be coming. I have ideas and many times I've wished I had the money to go to D.C. and confront those politicians. Force them to give some straight answer and not let them off the hook. I'd like to those so called budgets they've come up with and show them how it's done. After all, we, everyone in this country, need to live on a budget. We, many of us, live pay check to pay check. I'm truly worried about this country, the people in this country, the job market and the out come. I don't see this as being good. Not by any stretch. But, if I had to make a choice of who to blame? I would have to say, both parties, but the Republicans more so as they have been the least willing to compromise. We need to close those tax loop holes. We need to have the oil companies paying their fair share of taxes. We need help and we're not getting it. Not a single large corporation is speaking up for us. Some how, we must, all of us, we must find a way to make our voices heard. We must find a way to make Wall Street, Big Businesses, Congress and the Senate to listen to us. They must set aside their party affiliations. It should not matter. There comes a time in life, and in this case in history, where you must put aside your differences and be willing to compromise. And that time has come. It came many weeks ago, but it's coming down to the zero hour now. We need something to be done. And if they won't listen, then we must find a way to make them listen. But, to be heard, it must a way that is very profound, 'non' violent, and yet involve many of the American people. And the only thing I can think of, is a nation wide petition. Any other ideas out there??
