Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.

2012 Election, Facts,/Needs/Ideas


     In what I have called the most boring Election so far, 2012’s is not moving any faster and neither candidate is really making headway against the other. If this keeps up, we may just choose a President and be done with it all in quiet fashion.

       You can run around pointing fingers at one another as these two men do, and telling tales about each other or you can begin to talk about the real issues Americans face! Let’s Get it on is what I say, lets see who has the solutions and ideas to move the country forward.

       I want to hear both candidates, incumbant and challenger, talk about 1) The Economy, 2) Creating Jobs,3) How to save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare 4) Evening the trade agreements and making America have more exports than imports. 5) How to get us out of wars and keep us out period, we are not the world’s police force.6) Getting our money back from the companies and banks we bailed out. 7) Repairing the Blue Collar Job Market is key and vital to America’s economy, we need to get more factories going again.

          These are key issues that need discussed, extend unemployment benefits, save the Postal Service, keep it alive, while your at it too. Make a decision not to get involved in anyone elses wars anymore. We can’t fix Afghanistan, but we do kill off our service members trying don’t we, stop it now, pull the hell out. We had no business in Iraq, Iran is bullshiting us and we fall for it and get upset, isolate them and let them beg for mercy in the end, and their threat will go poof.  Homeland Protection is vital also, we all agree, we must keep America safe to stay free. Lets do it and do it right is all.

       In the end the 2012 Election this November, will determine 1) Who shall lead America away from these bad items and towards the good. 2) Who shall stop our decline in the world economy and put measures in place to prevent us from being dragged down too. 3) Who can straighten out and renegotiate all the trade agreements that are affects our imports being greater than our exports and turn it around. 4) Jobs are critical as is manufacturing, lets give them tax breaks and help to get going again in America and build more. 

       In the end the man who can solve all the above problems with ideas that work will win the election. I want both candidates to discuss these issues not who’s dog is on the roof of a car, or what they did in High School. Create jobs, help the manufacturing market grow, encourage, encourage this period. Save the Postal Service, leave the Veterans benefits alone, leave Social Security alone and find a way to continue to fund it, keep Health Care Reform and correct it, not destroy it.. Don’t take benefits from the elderly and poor to pay the rich, keep the programs in place damn it. 

      So many things a President can do  and be doing to improve the country has stopped being done, because the American people made a mistake in 2008. We picked the right President, but gave congress to his opposition, causing the log jams we now have in Washington. Sadly we American citizens are just as responsible for this mess as the politicians. If we want it cleaned up and the country moving forward and improving we need to stop the log jam and elect a President and Congress of one party and make them work to save all needing saving or fire them and get new ones. My opinion is now said and written I hope others agree!

 

Santorum is Gone, What Next?


      April 11th, 2012, Rick Santorum suspends his campaign for the presidency the day before. Now we come down to the final run for the White House and who shall occupy it for the next four years come January 2013. It is about time actually and I think at this time, there has to be an agreement between Willard Mitt Romney and the final two Republican opposers at this time, Gingrich and Paul.

        Mr. Gingrich has already stated Mitt Romney will more than likely be the Nominee, so why stay in the race and cause unrest/ Easy Mr. Gingrich wants a say in the Republican Platform, the same can be said for Mr. Ron Paul. They want their voices represented in the platform opposing President Obama and his Democratic platform. Well I am sure Romney will cooperate if you just ask him guys, it is time for game , set, match and start over.

        Still issues face the Presidential Race for both sides. The wars that rage and the battle we get involved in across the globe must come to a stop, as far as American involvement goes. We can’t afford to spread out military and budgets so thin fight other countries wars or policing them.

        America’s other problems come from bad trade agreements we have made with many countries and being the USA we are stubborn to pull out of them too. Yet they are destroying our economy and our way of life and stealing companies and business from Americans. No factories to create and build and make products makes us weak, we need to give tax breaks to companies to keep them here and lure others back home. If American Companies registered as American by their owner leave American Shores they need to be penalized and fined and taxed higher by us.

        The home market in the USA is at it’s all time lowest overall market value in many decades. Proud Americans who work day after day, to earn a chance to buy a home are losing their homes due to no jobs and inability to pay their bills. Is this the America we want, a country filled with empty homes on the side of the streets, as Americans also beg for food and squat and live in boxes? No I think not Americans Politicians need to face the issues now, and get a move on to fix the housing Problems, the problems of homeless and hungry people and our own country.

        Many of the social values Rick Santorum brought up are important also, yet right now the biggest destruction happening in American History is hitting our Economy and ways of life. We must turn it all around now, or become a Third World Nation.

         lets let te Election for the White House and November begin with an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats, not to attack, change or destroy or remove, the benefits many Americans have earned through working years. Leave Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Veteran’s benefits alone. Don’t ask disabled, elderly, people to pay the way, don’t take away what they live on and depend on each month. Many will end up eating cat food and living in cardboard boxes, or lining up at Veterans homes.

        Fight a fair fight to see who wins the White House, but don’t destroy the benefits and help for the needy. May the best man win of course!.
