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!

 

Break the Blockade in Washington!


     June 15th, 2012 has arrived and all is really quiet on the political front it seems. Are we about to get a media blitz from the Republican Party come September or October for Romney’s mad run at the White House? Can his money really buy him the Presidency? Lets hope not, for America’s sake!

      Half way through June and it seems  no improvements have been made in the job market, medicare,medicaid and no rescue plan is in sight for us in the trade Agreements, Social Security or Postal Service jobs either!  The only part of the government actually working and thriving is the State Department under Hillary Clinton, why is that?

        I have now live through so many presidents it is silly really, when you get to 56, all you really want to do is have one damn good one in office dedicated to helping seniors and veterans and americans of all colors, races and nationalities. One that will stop the bleeding of the United States‘s money and finances and make us solvent once again. One that can and will return our credit rating as a country to the top once more and accomplish something period. A dormant America is not good for America, the World Economy or the World period, without America the world economy flounders and slows to a halt.  Sad isn’t it really, but true, we need to lead for it to all work. It doesn’t mean lead in wars, policing or fighting other countries, it means lead with brains, inprovements, science,financial control and trade agreements and in health and education too. America always led in the past and the world flourished and grew faster than anything in history and America needs to do it again.

        I tire of excuses from the Republican side about what we can do, or should do or why they disagree with President Obama on issues and why they won’t pass a bill worth the shit in Congress or trhe Senate. Sadly changes need to be made this election year, but the change is not to be in the presidency, it should be in the Republican controlled congress and they should be reduced back to the minority period. They are responsible for the log jams in Washington not anyone else, so when you vote in November, and all of us should ove r18 and legal, I say keep President Obama, trash some of the Republican Congress and lets break the blockade in Washington an dmove the country forward.

 

     

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!
