I don't know, is it even worth it anymore to even think about the political situation in this country? Will it make one whit of difference? I just don't know.

Our government spends money like it's going out of style, wants to tax us to get even more, and has NO plan to do anything about the deficits or the debt. None. Nada. Zip, zero, zilch.

No plan to reduce the entitlements people in this country have come to feel they are "owed". No plan to reduce giving our money away in grants to study fruit flies, or to keep Pakistan in our pocket for a little bit longer. No plan to reduce anything except the amount of money you are allowed to keep, IF you are allowed to work at all in the first place.

Those of us who have worked our entire adult lives without asking the government for anything except to keep the roads and bridges fixed and maintain a military that can defend the country are getting really tired of being asked for more and more money in order to "take care of" the vast and growing numbers of individuals in this country who could work and take care of themselves, but won't.

So, they say, "Tax The Rich" like that is some kind of answer, sheesh. The so called "rich" don't have enough money, even if you took every cent they own, to fix the problem, so it's a straw man argument, meant to distract us from the fact they've spent us into the poor house and the debtors are breathing down our necks.

We spend billions and trillions of dollars on things that have nothing to do with this country or it's interests. I say, "we" but it is the permanent political class that has taken over our government and insist they are doing all these things for "the common good". What a farce. They are doing it to guarantee their power base and that is the ONLY thing they are doing it for. They are a joke and a pox on this nation, regardless of party.

You think we'd have taken a clue when we realized they can't see their own reflection in a mirror.....
