Stop playing politics and finger pointing, and the blame game now!

May 30th, 2023 has arrived and Memorial Day has just passed for all of us in America. Cookout and pool parties have started for the warmer weather days. In the meantime, Congress is playing chicken with the American Debt and it’s Budget. They know full well if they don’t pass the Budget by June 5th, 2023 America defaults on it’s Debt, and our credit rating falls, and the American Economy goes south as does the worlds. If that happens ladies and gentlemen of America and the world, so many will suffer, there may well never be a recovery for America, a recession will go into effect. Sadly, so many Americans will suffer as will people of other nations that America will never be forgiven for it happening world wise, we shall fall from leadership in the world.

That said now, I as an individual can not make Congress pass the bill, nor can I make it not pass the bill. But, if I were a member of the House Republican Party or the Democratic Party, I would stop and think not of whether my party got all it wanted, but, I would think of stopping what could happen to so many poor, innocent, middle income and lower income people and the world. Do you really want to be responisiable for dropping the world into a recession or depression? And do you think you will survive as a politican? I doubt it!

That said, lets go on, and leave the politics to the politicians and hope. As to me, I live day by day and survive is all. My typical day is rising early at 5am, getting coffee, staggering about with a numb and painful back and left hip to start the day. I end up watching television for hours till the pain, subsides, and watch the world go by. I have never in my life been handsome, popular or rich, but I survive. I never expected to live beyond 40 years old, but here I am at 67. I have six herniated discs in my spine, I suffer from diverticullis, on and off constipation and more. PTSD from childhood hits me, as it does from my military years. I basically isolate myself, because I do not feel comfortable around other people, I just feel I do not fit in. I avoid large groups, I shy away from women, because none can replace my wife and I know I am not a loveable man for them.

I watch the wars on television and history as it goes by. I have now seen a President Assasinated, A President Impeached and for having an affair, a President twice Impeached in Office in one term and now facing 7 court cases including felonies and a Insurection he caused and led. Yet, that same ex-Pesident is walking the streets free and running to get elected again, while those who did his bidding, now are felons in prison for doing his bidding. I find it sad that he decieved America, he failed as a President and he couldn’t accept it, and Americans still back him, come on folks wake up! The Republican Party has to know, they will lose if they follow him again, he can’t win. If he does, win even the Republican Nomination, what will it say about the Republican Party?

Life on May 30th, 2023, is not as bad as the Depression Era in America was at one time, but, we are morally, ethically, not the same nation that fought and helped win two World Wars. We are not the technically, mentally, morally, ethically, strong nation that led the world for so long. So much dissention, so much infighting, disagreements, and political finger pointing other nations now laugh at us.I submit this idea to those who run for President and Public Offices in America, if you can not lead with honor, mental toughness, learn to compromise for the good of the country, the United States, has lost it’s moral and ethical leadership and you are failing us all. We need leadership, we need a direction, we need to see compromise, we need to see a budget, and the debt limit taken care of and moral and ethical leadership, people are floundering folks, the country is at a tipping point. Fix it now, stand up, be the leaders you were elected to be, pass the debt limit bill, and get it done now.

I served my country because I beileve in it, I did 16 years in three branches, and i gave my time, and dedication to this country. My life is winding down, I am a realist, as are many of my generation who were born in the 1950’s. I will say this to all, the 1950’s, the 1960s, and 1970s, were the best three decades in American history, We had leadership, we had status in the world, we had food on the tables to eat, jobs, we had the best music and products too. As we progressed thru the 1980s till now the moral fabric of America has gone down hill, and so has our status and position in America. When will the generations that are now in political power , step up solve the debt crisis, turn America Around once more and Make it the Nation it was once Again? And I don’t mean, bring back Trump, he is a criminal, and a lousy leader, corrupt facing many charges, don’t be foolish here. America needs to pull up it’s pants, be adults, and pass the debt bill, and act like it cares for more than one political party or the other, care about the country as a whole. Stop playing politics and finger pointing, and the blame game now!
