It’s Time to Make a Choice!


  A choice must be made in everyone’s life concerning certain events, certain possibilities and life changing events. For Americans this November of 2012 could be that moment in time! Be careful Americans, make the right choice or lose in November whatever you may have gained in the past 4 years and go deeper in debt and get no changes at all.

         Americans across our grand country are losing homes, jobs and belongings left and right, money is disappearing off the map in financial markets, and the stock market goes up and down on it’s own. The world economy balances itself and tries to survive by countries helping each other through mutual agreements for bail-outs. Will we be next?

        Wars rage across the globe that have nothing to really do with Americans, yet we nose our way in, spend our man power, time, efforts and money fighting them, for what? We need to stop it now and get the hell out of war zones and countries that are in this kind of trouble. The world is looking at America, as a possible saviour for the people of Syria too, but in fact we are too broke to manage to save ourselves never mind them. The will of America, it’s politicians and system has practically run out in the terms of world power. Yes we speak they listen, but then they laugh and walk away, doing as they please. The fact is Americans are tired of fighting wars we don’t belong in and policing countries that don’t give a shit about us too.

       Lets talk about our jobs markets and the problems with them. We need innovation, invention, intervention by Uncle Sam to jump start it all. Tax breaks would help to bring big companies back, these companies pay high tax rates to operate in America and get little in return and then when the numbers  get too high they pack up and leave. No one can blame a company for making it cheaper and making more money if they can by moving overseas. We are losing too many companies this way.

       Jobs are tight in America, this nation runs on blue collar, middle class jobs not the and white-collar ones. Proof  is in the historical look back at America, jobs were best and the economy best when the blue-collar middle class were the backs it ran on. Factories disappeared starting at the end of the 1970s. and continued to disappeared since. Manufacturers said nope can’t afford to pay the taxes here and moved overseas or shut down period. In the meantime no politician took up the cause of saving these jobs and manufacturers, so now the back bone of the America Economy is becoming White Collar Jobs and the Resale Industry and we don’t even sell our own things to ourselves anymore. Why is that? Is American Pride in building the better car, stereo, tv,, bike, or any other device now gone, we don’t care? What is it?

        In the meantime, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security,Veteran’s Benefits and more disappear or are threatened in one way or another, just like the U.S. Postal Service.  Why do we borrow from Social Security and the Postal Service, we are killing good things than telling disabled americans,and elderly people we can’t give them Social Security until they are 70 or 75, next step will be 80 years old and only a few live that long. Lets be realistic here, Americans. for decades upon decades, Americans have paid into the Social Security Program set up by our government for people who earn by working and paying the tax it called for. Now, It will not be there for the next generation because Congress refuses to fix it properly and Americans who paid in will lose the money they did pay in!. Why? Lazy Politicians don’t want to fix it is why!

     So come November 2012 we have to make a choice between two men once more, as to who will lead the country as president. I recommend to all Americans to look extremely close at who you are voting for in all offices not just the top one. The republicans own the Senate and House and they stopped all progress for the last four years. Obama Care did go through and if anyone repels it, it would be stupid for Americans to allow it. Wake up folks, It is time to listen closely to what these politicians are saying and doing! We need a President who will keep Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security in operation and existence and we need jobs, we need a job plan to get more companies back to america, more jobs for our people and politicians who care about America, not just their own wallets and purses. Vote carefully and I think if you do, President Obama will be in four more years. If you don’t we may end up with Romney and go further backwards till we do become a third world nation. So the Time has come America, for all of us who vote, from the baby boomer generation to make a choice that will affect America for a long time coming. We are now in our 50s. 60s and 70s, and will be leaving soon in some form or way, will we leave behind for those  of ours, a country in devastation and financial ruin and with no help for the elderly or will we make a choice that will save the future for our children and grand children and those beyond them and save America, It is time to make a 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!.

 

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.

 

Syria is not our War!


      Syria and its problems and the solution it’s government is enforcing on its citizens is wrong!. Innocent people being bombed and shot upon by planes, tanks and soldiers is wrong period. But, so would America stepping in and stopping it be wrong, we are not the police force of the world or protectors of the world, nor do we have the money, manpower, or time to fight the Syrian Government half a world away from us!.

        John McCain thinks we should get involved by air strikes and bomb Assad out of office and out of this world. I disagree with the fine Senator from Arizona. We have tried this action in the past Senator McCain and all due respect to you for your service and time in government here in America, but, we are not the policemen of the world!. We had different circumstances in the past, but the same situations, in Korea, Vietnam and we lost thousands if not millions of Americans fighting a war and policing nations we had no damn business in. Afghanistan is now a quagmire in and of itself that America needs to get out of immediately.  So why step into a new mess in Syria and kill more Americans and make more enemies out of middle eastern folks? We don’t need it Senator McCain, get the United Nations to do it and the other MIddle Eastern Nations around Syria to shut Assad down, we can negotiate, and direct, we can not enter the war nor should we.

         We have our own war of a type to fight here in America and our own battlefields too. Our war zones is in jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements and putting Americans back to work. Our war zones should be the economy and stopping homelessness, hunger and health problems for our own people not another nations. Sadly, because Americans in Government elected by the people, believe we are the big brother of the world and the super power, we have to help end these conflicts and disasters, we don’t, nor should we!. We don’t have the resources anymore Senator McCain to spend limitless dollars on another countries problems and especially one that doesn’t care two cents about us.

       In the past American Presidents have made some smart choices and stayed out of wars we do not belong in and it has paid off for America.In this case, this President is correct, get us out of Iraq, out of Afghanistan and keep us out of Syria, no ground troops or weapons allowed, Americans can’t afford it and rebuild our economy and status in the world at the same time!.
