We the People,Middle Class and Below or ?


      As the choices for our next President has come down to two men, the one currently holding the office, Barrack Obama and the other Willard Mitt Romney. One Democrat who loves being a Democrat, but who has worked with the other side for his first term, and a Republican Businessman who claims he can turn it all around. In history many have made claims of what they can do, very few every get it done, please remember that one folks.

        As soon as the November Election ends and across America we know who has been chosen, I hope we don’t regret what we did, like we did in 2008. We regretted that one not because we picked the wrong President, but because we tried to check and balance him by elected the opposing party as the congress. Sadly, we screwed ourselves with those votes and it has caused the logjam that is now in Washington.

        Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting history lesson number 1; Do not at anytime if you want the country to accomplish anything at all, put in a congress of the opposite party from the one you made President. The morass that is Washington is our fault, as the voters, we should have known better. On the other hand, it is correct to check and balance  a President or Congress, but not if you want to get off the status quo your on.  Sadly, we did the wrong thing in 2008 by doing just that, and it has hurt the progress of America’s recovery.

      As this Election cycle goes forward, both of these Candidates will have separate ideas on how to improve the Economy, Create Jobs, bring Manufacturing back to the U.S. listen closely please. If either of them talk about cutting Social Security, or letting it fade, or killing Medicaid, Medicare or Disability Payments for Veterans or Benefits, please don’t vote for them. Across America elderly citizens need Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Veterans need their benefits and disability payments too, we live on these things because we can’t work. Unless you have an idea to improve these benefits as a candidate I will not vote for you, especially if you cut them, or still borrow from Social Security.

       It is time now, for the over 50 population, the ones who fought for their country, the ones who represented and made America great and the baby boomers of the 1950s and 1960 to have their say for the next four years, don’t sit at home folks vote in any way you can. For this year, this Election will either save Social Security, Disability Payments, Medicaid and Medicare and Veterans Benefits, or leave us all floundering about with no leg financially to stand on and live on. Fight for what is your rights and benefits, we can’t all be rich or millionaires can we?

         The decision must be made between now and November 4th, 2012, do we the people mean we the people the middle class and below or does we the people mean the rich and mighty on top? We must make that choice and decision first and foremost in  this Election.

 

April 2, 2012, The Dance goes on!


The Republicans and their primary are still at it in April 2nd 2012. Destroying and attacking one another like little children in a playground in kindergarten. They sound like cartoon characters in comic strip, I didn’t do it!, He’s lying,  etc. Why is the Republican Party allowing this to happen and don’t they understand the general election this coming November is being handed to the Democrats because of it all. I say this not because I am a Republican, nor because I am a Democrat, at heart I am an independent, one of those who can be swayed by the policies of a candidate if i feel strong enough.

        In the end come November, no matter how much money people give, donate it will not matter who it was given to. What will matter is issues and what the solutions for the ones America has as a whole that will make a difference.  America suffers because of past Trade Agreements made by prior Presidents and they ended up not for us but for other countries. We are sometimes far too generous for our own good as Americans and we destroy ourselves. It is time to turn this around, we need to rebuild our manufacturing base, we need clearer Trade Agreements so our exports out weigh our imports once more.

        We need to retrain the AMerican People, many of them are now blue-collar workers trying to do white-collar jobs, or have no jobs at all and are unemployed and their checks running out. We need to help them all by finding innovation, invention, rebuilding  and more, America can not sit still like it is today in the markets and the world.

        We don’t belong in any War Zones anymore we can not afford to be there policing and fighting someone elses war for them. We can’t enter a new war either the cost is too much to our military and our citizens, we drain our resources to help others and get nothing in return as they snub their noses at us. Are we stupid folk, or what is it about the American Government that makes them think we are the Big Brothers of the World here? We hide our poverty just like any other nation and we just do it better is all. People sleep on American Streets and Alleyways in boxes, walk the streets and stand on corners with signs, Will Work for food!. How much worse must America get before our politicians wake up and stop helping the world and help our own?

        The bottom line folks, no matter who wins in November, whether it be  Democrats and President Obama, or, a Republican, we need to get them to notice the real problems in America and take care of our own in the end.

         Here is a thought for all politicians, Stop all war and war efforts, and save all those  bucks and bring them home and put it all into housing and feeding our own homeless and hungry!. Try the idea, or take the money you save from helping other nations and fighting their wars and pour it into saving our job markets, or homeless or jobless. Now that would make a difference I bet.
