Your Choice 2012-America!


      As Issac bears down on the Gulf Coast and Republicans gather in Tampa, Florida, my thoughts gather as to the meaning of the current election cycle and what the weather means to the citizens faced with it. The biggest danger women and gents is not the weather that will disappear and the damage we can rebuild from, but the election if Romney and Ryan win, we will not recover from.

As Issac builds to hurricane strengths and threatens to wash away and blow away homes and property, the Republicans plan to blow away HealthCare,Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and do nothing about The U.S. Postal Service which is going under next. There is no concrete plans to save any of the above by the Republicans, and we all know it, The one message they did get out is if they are elected the rich will pay less in taxes and the middle and lower class more. Sounds to me like the same old Republican bullshit, make themselves richer at the poor and middle classes expense. Why is that folks and why do we allow it at all? I wonder are we blinded by the lights and cameras of an election, are we not listening or paying attention to the real issues?  Which is it Americans? You tell me please? I tire of talking about what can happen and what did happen for  eight long years under George W. Bush, now we are paying the price for the fools who voted him in for a second term. His policies, plans and lack of control and more, left us in two war zones, left us with a lot fewer jobs, left us in a trade deficit, and took us from the black side of the ledger to so far in the red no President could get us out in four years or if you care one term! Lets face the facts here, groceries are up, clothing is rising, oil prices are flying high, we are overseas getting our weapons, and people killed policing other nations for what? China rules the economic world they keep producing more to export than to import so no big thought there huh!

We face a decision Americans between going backwards to the same fiscal and economic policies of the Bush years and trickle down economics as we had before or a new way to go by sticking with the President we have. Just like when your budgets at home and in your houses get out of control cuts must be made here too. But the cuts must be realistic not crazy and, they need to be in places where we need less not more. Stop and think Americans, is it all worth it, if the day after you each die and our generation is gone, that our children and grandchildren and generations to come will be paying our bills for their lifetimes? Are we going to be the first and foremost generation that screwed our own offsprings, because we are stupid, ignorant and dumb period? The generations before us, left us with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, disability Insurance,The U.S. POstal Service, Jobs and a way to stay in the black, isn’t it time we woke up and ensured at least the same for the generations we are leaving behind?

As we look back in American History good men and women gave their lives, careers and health and more to keep America safe and healthy and better off than others. Are we  going to be the first generation that says the hell with them, they are on their own, We want to only take care of us?

America has changed between the 1950’s, 60s,70s,80s, 90s and now in the new century. We were at the earlier time a nation that ran on the we face the world view. We had the spirit of we, we, we, not the me, me, me we now see today!. Used to be you drove down a street, and saw someone with a flat stuck, you stopped and helped them, now if your stuck, everyone goes by and almost runs you over! There is no we anymore is there Americans, nope, now it is all me, I want, I need, I must have and so on, listen to todays kids and younger generations, they don’t read books,they don’t play outside and explore anymore, they don’t play with friends, their friends are on the internet, through X-Box,Playstation3, Nintendo, Computers and more. They hide in darkened rooms with doors closed staring at screens with video images and games playing and scream when they lose the game!. Yet we all wonder, where did we go wrong right, we gave our children everything right? Well, we haven’t Americans, we have made them, lazy, addicted to video games, and not educated them correctly. They have become lackadaisical, fat, under educated and who is to blame, we are as the adults and leaders of the country, that is who is to blame!

Sadly, America I believe we are now facing the same declines and destruction of our society that many other great societies before us did too, and we are allowing it to crumble in same ways too. The Aztecs, Mayans,Indians, Romans, all grew to great societies and civilizations, only to decline when either over taken, or becoming lazy and sloppy. We Americans are now on the same edge of the cliff, they faced and we can either spiral down and disappear, or face the facts and start working together, start educating our children, disciplining them, and leaving them what they need to make America better and stronger, not weaker and meeker. Lets wake up folks, it’s a crying shame how America is slowly falling down the economic ladder, the educational ladder, and the societal ladder. While I believe firmly in The Republic, my country, my people, my nation and defended it for 16 years and came home a disabled vet when discharged, I don’t believe we are doing what is right to maintain our country, our economy, our way of life, if we let what is here go down and watch it sink. I know, many will  say I am crazy, I don’t know of what I speak, I am blowing hot steam, or talking out of my other end, but I am not folks. America is declining because we are not smart enough to figure out, we are blowing it all, we will one day be a chapter  in a history book, or on the internet, the great American Society, that failed and crumbled like all the rest, destroying itself, through, careless acts, greediness, and lack of initiative and caring period. Sadly America do we allow this to happen?

One more thing to consider before you vote in November, Americans, as a citizen and American, do you truly believe you can dig a hole for eight long years, and then fill it back in half the time? Logic, common sense says, no way, try it folks! We gave Obama four years in office and then expected him to dig us out in one term, it took two terms to get us in this deep by the Republicans! Face the Facts America, you vote Republican we go deeper in debt, and you vote Democratic we may someday see the light again. Your Choice!

 

November is Coming, Race is On!


     June 1st,2012, day is sunny, cool but beautiful, the flowers are blooming and the 2012 election cycle is well under way. We now have the Incumbant President Barrack Obama vs. The Republican Challenger Willard Mitt Romney. Who shall win come November is still the biggest question currently being asked in America‘s press. But to the American people, I wouldn’t count on Romney to win, his views on religion, job creation, medicare, and Medicaid and social security and Veterans benefits will probably sink him. Not to mention his inability to connect and read the American people when it comes to job creation, manufacturing,healthcare and trade agreements. Then add in the facts concerning him and gay rights and the marriage argument and well you get the picture. He may look pretty when he laughs and talks out the side of his mouth, but where are the facts and plans to make it all work? They don’t exist, and why would anyone want to give the rich bigger tax breaks then they have now? Lets face the facts folks, if America elects Romney it will be war after war, first in policing other nations, then against his own people here at home as he gives his rich cronies tax breaks and doesn’t create jobs.

   America needs a President who will correct and protect and fix what is in place not change it all. We need the Health Care Program Obama put in for our elderly and poor and welfare people. We need jobs he is creating in manufacturing and white-collar sides too. We need Medicaid and Medicare saved and keeping going, we need a way to save the U.S. Postal Service, so first class mail comes to us at home and we get our meds for those needing them. We need to get out of war zones and bring our troops, equipment and service members home to rest here and protect the homeland not police other countries. The time has come for America to reelect Barrack Obama, and give him the support he needs in the Senate and House to push America forward, not backwards.  The time has come to let Obama finish his digging us out of the hole his predecessors put us into, financially, and get us in the black once more. You can’t ask a President to dig us out of a hole it took one before him eight years to dig, without giving him eight to fix it all.

         As you stop and think and look at Obama and Romney, do not think color, race, or even political views, think rich vs poor, think helpless vs affluent, think willing to help all, vs willing to make themselves richer and then vote when you go to the polls in November.

       If you want to know why President Obama couldn’t dig us out of a hole made in eight years in four, take a look at the logjam and blockade the Senate and House has built-in front of him, a Republican wall of rich people trying to get richer is all. Vote Democratic, lets give the President a congress to back him, not fight him. Vote out the Republican Blockers and Blockade in Congress and lets move America to a better future!.

 

12 Things Presidential Candidates need to do!


The dog days of summer are coming and the heat will rise outside and the campaign for the Presidency will too. There will be mud-slinging and more before it is over come November 2012. The summer will bring debates on policy,economics.and healthcare. It will bring speeches on war, the military and more, but will the two candidates face the real issues as the American People see them, or run from them?

       The real issues for the 2012 Election will be the ones to watch for folks. Can either man come up with a good plan to save the Economy, jobs, HealthCare and Medicaid and Medicare as well as save Social Security? Can either one promise to save Veteran’s Benefits and take care of our veterans the way they should be cared for? Will either man be able to find a way to save the Postal Service that so many elderly and disabled depend on for medications and more? What will happen to America in the next four years whether it is under President Obama or Romney? Will America ever regain its credit rating, will America ever level the trade agreements and stop policing and fighting wars for others and take care of its own? These questions need to be put to the candidates and answered not bullshit questions so they can dodge the real issues.

       You show me one of the two who will save Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, stop policing other countries, and creat jobs and level the trade agreements maybe I will vote for them! You show me one candidate who is brave enough to admit they need to help the Postal Service, Trade, the economy and stop all wars and I may think about voting for them. You want the votes of middle america, lower america and the minorities then you need to address immigration, homeland security, and fixing the programs that help americans! Not run from them or avoid them, that isn’t the way to go!

       As the temperatures rise across America, and the summer begins,  we the American People must make a choice of which candidate to choose come November 2012 and I will only vote for the one I firmly believe can address the issues at stake as follows:

       1) The Economy and improving it by creating jobs, giving tax breaks to companies that need them.

       2) Who will address the trade markets and our trade agreements with China and others who now have the advantage over us and level it!

        3) Who will stop borrowing from Social Security and save it for the future.

         4) Who will preserve and protect Medicaid, Medicare, Healthcare and repair the Postal Service.

         5) Who will keep us out of  wars and bring out troops home for all time, and not get us involved again.

         6) Who will save the benefits and plans of the New Deal and make America a better country to live in.

           7) No new taxes period they aren’t needed, lets lower the pay/ salaries of Congress, both Houses, they don’t work they shouldn’t be paid!

           8) Bring back manufacturing, bring back being creative, innovative and inventing and let’s make America a forerunner for all.

          9) You want to be President again or anew, then you must face these issues, economy, jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements, refunding of social security, veteran’s benefits, healthcare,Medicaid, medicare and more. You can’t run and hide without addressing them each.

         10) Face the biggest issue of all for America, create jobs, create manufacturing, create peace and keep healthcare. Don’t destroy it improve it. We need help for the middle class, lower class, not more tax breaks for the rich and upper class. Lets level the playing field and do it correctly.

          11) There must be a way to make jobs for all, not just for some, to get the economy going give companies tax breaks in their home towns or cities across the nation. Lets do something for America and Americans instead of for the politicians and the rich.

          12) Final thing, if you want to be President and lead, then stand the hell up and lead, don’t cower, don’t bend, don’t be a wuss. But don’t police other nations with our troops, bring them home, no more wars!

Vote Democratic Across The Board!


      Americans need to unite and improve our own country and stop helping the world, we can’t afford it anymore. We lend hands to every country in the world we can that needs it, but when we hurt no one comes running with help or a hand-out, or for that matter a hand up!

       We race across the globe with our military- ,helping  Afganistan, keeping Iran under control, beating up on Iraq for having Saddam Huessin and taking him out, why?  The only country in the Middle East that would consider America a friend and help us at all is the Jewish State. The bottom line is not even England will do it anymore I believe or Canada to our north or Mexico to our south, not unless our continent is invaded or attacked straight up. Sad isn’t it?

       The strength we once had as a military might still exists, but the economic- might is gone, shot down by the failure of our politicians to control it all. The fight between the two parties is crazy and stupid period, we are destroying what we had and should have for the future by it all. A divided President and Congress is a formula for a dying economy, a dying job market, a lackluster trade balance and no forward motion period. Deadlocks are deadlocks folks, and we have it in our government due to our own stupidity.

       Only one side can run the country at a time, and if you want anything done, or saved from disappearing now is the time to realize this. If you want Social Security saved, Medicare and Medicaid saved, The Postal Service saved and maintained and Health Care kept in placed and improved now is the time to speak up at the polls in November.

        If you want job growth, manufacturing to grow, trade balance where we lead the way once more speak up now! If you want gasoline prices coming down, oil prices to lower and your money to last longer, then we need a leader in Washington, who has a congress on his side to do good things, not stop it all.

        Someone once asked me a question about political parties in America, meaning both Democrats and Republicans. The question was this, what is the difference between the two parties? One person replied one is Liberal and one is Conservative, I said nope, The second said one is pro-life the other isn’t again I said no. Finally they looked at me and asked one more time, What the hell is the difference between the two parties? I replied as follows, The Democrats will spend every cent the government has and finally stop, the Republicans will spend every cent we have but, borrow to keep spending more, putting us deeper in debt!

       Before you vote in November and decide which man and party should run America and it’s Government you need to stop and think! The Republicans had 8 years under George W. Bush to run this land and country, and dug us a hole so big in the budget department we can’t see anything except red. President Obama has tried for his first term in office to dig us out, but you don’t clear up 8 years of  overspending and  red books in four do you? It takes at least the 8 more years to do so and dig us all back out. So when you vote, stop and think which party was in office and allowed the 9/11 attacks to hit us, which party took us from the black to the red in budget books? Which party entered us into wars we didn’t want or need? Then stop and think which party is pulling us out and trying  to balance the budget again and get us going forward!  The Democrats and President Obama need four more years to correct the eight years of mistakes by the Republicans. We need a new beginning and a new way to go, not go back to what sunk us for eight years before. Vote Democrat, Reelect President Obama and give him a supportive cast in the Senate and The House and lets move America back to the forefront on all issues. If President William Jefferaon Clinton left Office with a surplus in the budget big time, and Presient Bush left with the biggest deficiet in recent history, then which party do you think will work to stop the bleeding and balance things? Think Democratic, think Reelect President Obama and lets give him a supporting cast in the Senate and House to get done what is needed.

 

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!

 

Lets Fix America !


The political race is on for four years in the White House, the battle is now engaged by both sides and about to step up and hit with force, in the American People’s faces. While President Obama and Romney will be going head to head, please stop and look at both of their views on certain issues: 1) Wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere, they need to be stopped and what is ours in forces and weapons need to come home. 2) Watch for who will save Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Benefits, these programs are the ones keeping many helpless, homeless and needy people alive and giving them a chance to. 3) Health Care– who has the better plan 4)  immigration Who will toughen the laws, but allow those here to stay in someway 5) Jobs, Who can really create jobs and bring back manufacturing and make our economy go forward 6) Who will change the Trade Agreements to a point where they favor America’s needs and our exports once more out shine and out measure our imports once more on the world market. 7) Who will step in and save the Postal Service that is needed by many millions across the USA to deliver our medications and things we depend on daily to survive. 8 ) Who has the better leadership skills period and will stand up for all Americans not just the rich or poor but all. 9) Who can reformat, reinvent the tax codes in the US to fit the current population and make it work, without raising them on the poor and middle class. We have no more to give Uncle Sam is bleeding out the poor and middle class to save the rich, wrong! 10) We saved big business and Wall Street and companies, now collect back what we loaned them as a country and lets use it for good works not bad.

       We also need to elect a congress that will support which ever man we elect as President. You can’t give the throne to one man and then put his opposition into check and balance him and expect him to be able to accomplish much, it’s like blockading a country, you can’t work around it well.

       As a country we screwed up by electing a Democrat as President and a congress full of Republicans to checkmate him. What we got was a blockade that stopped anything real from being accomplished and it is the American people’s fault now. Lets clean it up and make whoever is in the White House have a supporting cast to accomplish what needs to be done.

 

America’s Needs and Choices 11/2012


      Across America the race is on for the White House in November of 2012. The Incumbant President Barrack Obama should be and is favored to beat his challenger Williard Mitt Romney the Republican. Hopefully if America has any common sense and intelligence left, they will choose the best of the two and while they are at it, back it with a Senate and house full of people in the same party. This stalemate and log-jam in Washington is killing any hope of bettering the economy and the United States.

      Personally speaking I will back whatever candidate can put a stop to borrowing from Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare and save these benefitial programs for the people in the future. The one that can find a way to reinstill funds and make these programs last will be the President in Hanuary 2013, of this I have no doubt.

       The candidate who can come out with a way to give tax breaks to manufacturers and companys that produce jobs and help raise our exports over, imports will win too.  Jobs and the Economy stupids you get it yet, like Bill Clinton was told it’s the economy.

          No more wars, no more fighting middle east battles or battles across the globe we can’t win, or can turn into morasses that weigh us downa nd eat up money and weapons and military personell, please. We don’t belong in Iraq, Afganistan, or any Middle East country fighting wars, or policing Nations that care not about us and will stab us in the back as soon as they can. Wake up in Washington, the bell shall toll for thos epoliticians who voted for wars, who voted for American involvements without help or for policing actions. Americans are tired and that includes the American Military too. They will go where the President says of course for he is their Commander in Chief, but stop please, these people men and women are human and can only take so much, the time to rest the troops and stop their battles is now. Too many suicides, too many PTSD cases, too many injuried or dead military personell who gave their health and lives for what, to police other nations to take down dictators in countries that will only regrow a new one. We need to stop now and save all the time, effort and money for inproving America’s Economy, America’s job market, housing market and our status in the world. Wake up Washington Please!

      The battle that is needed to be won, is hear at home now, not overseas in a war or policing zone in the middle east. We always support our Allies, but, in the end many of them turn on us and we end up with the short end of the stick for our efforts. The time now is to, stop overstretching our borders and flexing our muscles and to realize it is hurting us as a country to do so.

        Come November on Election Day, American’s need to find which man and his partner, will be able to find the ways to keep us out of wars, save those funds at home, increase jobs, improve the economy, educate our children and in the end, increase exports over imports once more and change the current Trade Agreement so they help America not the World anymore. We need a President who can stand up and say no more will America, send help easily, no more will America be babysitting and policing the world. We need an American President who can stand up and say, Yes I will save Social Security and Medicad and Medicare. Yes, we need a real Leader who can lead and isn’t afraid of stepping on toes to make America strong again and resilent. So Americans make a choice, whether Obama or Romney and which one you believe can solve America’s biggest problems without, letting the world kill us more.

 

The Writing Bug!


Each day I wonder what subject to cover in my blog, or what story or poem to write. How does one decide what to put in writing and tell the world or private friends or family?  You don’t want your life explained or examined by strangers or anyone else, so you tend to stay with subjects meant for the public to  read and care about.

       I have covered so many subjects on my blog from Politics, Republican primaries, Democratic too, and benefits that will affect the whole senior population over 50 in the United States. Items such as will Social Security be there for those who paid into it, or will it be all borrowed out? Will Medicaid and Medicare still be there, or will they be phased out by the rich so the poor have nothing left to lean on?

       I have covered the Death of a Diva in Whitney Houston, who all now know died a cocaine related death in a bathtub at age 48. The sad loss of such a talented person hits us everyday, in many ways and each of us is affected a little differently.

       Doctors fighting Cancer, illnesses, and more I have written about. I did a story called The Disease which deals with the rising rate of cancer among people in the USA and how it has affected my life and my beliefs and my way of thinking.

       My stories range of love, and death, and Naval life, but the biggest stories I have ever told are family stories the stories of parents gone wrong, children in pain and survivors.

        My poems have ranges the same breath and width of the human soul, from love, to lust, to health and to death, yet I still fight a subject and write as much as I can, hoping humanity will experience and understand what I say and enjoy some of it. Am I wrong for doing so, I doubt it and i don’t tend to use language that can disturb or upset people I write in plain American English is all.

        The hardest part for any story-teller, poem teller or blog writer, is to flesh out what you write about to show the emotions, fears and cares of the people you write on and the scenes have to be vivid and catching too. The subjects can range of course but we all know, what the audience really wants is something to catch their mind and grab them and carry them through the story so they can look at family and friends and show them or repeat it themselves.

       Doris Kearns Goodwin does that, Robert Ludlum did that when he was alive, and Jack London did it also in the early 1900s. Writing such as Poe gave us poems that hit the soul and make us think, Shakespeare wrote so many plays he is never forgotten. Singers and writers write songs of stories and songs of love, they may range from rock and roll to country to even classical, but they still write and pass it all on.

       America’s past and its future is built on writers and the stories, ideas and poems and songs they write. It is a country that learns lessons from the written, sung and spoken words. In the end it can be the writers of all kinds that can bring the world to  peace or destruction by what they write and show to all of us. Writers carry a large responsibility as well as the respect of many in the world. We all look for the items written that touch our souls, hearts and minds and we find them written by people who are in the end human in every way. That is what is called the writing bug that bites many humans in the world.

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.

 

Call Representatives and Senators now!


The American Dream has died I think. So many American dream of owning their own homes, having steady jobs and not hurting for anything they need. That dream of the home and the little white picket fence, and two of everything is coming to an end in America. People are struggling to pay their mortgages, rents, car loans, and more.

Americans are roaming the streets hungry and sleeping in cardboard boxes, as politicians play a game of keep away in Washington and threaten to hurt the middle class and lower classes more, by removing and doing away with benefits, why?  Do Americans of all classes and levels of income have a right to live and survive in America? Or does Congress have a right to take away, borrow from and destroy Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security and cut back benefits to Veterans too? Is this the America I served 16 years in the military for and got injured and disabled for and to protect?

They play with Social Security so well and so much by borrowing from it, that in the future even before i die, it may go belly up and bust and be gone, and I am 56 years old. Why is it the same Social Security lasted for decades and found a way to survive and exist and help so many for all that time and now all of a sudden it is going broke?  They have been using it as a bank to borrow from at the same time they are making payments to needy people who paid into it all. Sad isn’t is when your own Government cuts the people’s throat by stealing from the Social Security meant to help the people?

To kill Medicaid and Medicare is to let loose millions of people from the only health insurance they can have today. Many elderly and needed people get Medicaid and Medicare because they are ill, disabled and can not work and need medical coverage they can not afford to buy. So why try to take away what works for many, because it is a place they can save money for the Federal Budget for. come on now. Find a better place to save money from, like cut your own damn salaries and benefits and lets see how Congress likes that.

I go on and on and i know it sounds like I am ranting and raving and no one will listen, but if all Americans on Disability , Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, and Veterans benefits called their Representatives and Senators and told them stop attacking our benefits you might see the strength in numbers and stop the loss of these benefits in the near future. Fight back, call your Senators and Representatives and tell them, leave the benefits alone, we need them!.
