"East is East and West is West..." The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing....Black and white...Up and down...In and out...Night and day...Opposites, all - and all, opposite...forever. There will never be any compromise between the Republicans and Democrats on the budget or anything else. Sure, they may agree to let some things pass along but there are such vast differences in the agendas of the two groups that there is no middle ground, no gray area. The Republicans are interested in their (supposed) conservative values and the Democrats are interested in helping those citizens in need of help. It's all so wrong! With the current debate of extending the debt ceiling, it's all just criminal politics at work. The Republicans want a temporary solution so they can continue the debate into the next Presidential election. They don't want to reach any solution because it takes a hot (unnecessary) issue off the table. They push their agenda under the guise of 'smaller government', 'religious conservative values', 'right to life', and so on. Their real agenda is to maintain selfish power, control and (ultimately) wealth. All this comes at the expense of the vast majority of Americans who only want a chance at a decent life. It's inconceivable to me that the Republican base is so utterly foolish as to fall for this nonsense. As to the Democrats, I believe most of them entered the political fray with a clear intention to do the right thing for the American people. However, given the need to run for office again in such short order, they often fall prey to the money and influence of corporations and big business and lose their pristine political youth. What choices are there for the voting public? We can continue to place our hopes in the hands of the Democrats who will all be tarnished by the system. We can give up, declare ourselves slaves and vote Republican.
I say...
Term limits! (ONE)
No career politicians!
Limit salaries for public office to the average income of their constituents!
No more Presidential libraries!
No more lifetime Supreme Court Justices!
A major third party is needed!
Flat taxes!
No more American Imperialist wars!
Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan!
No PAC money!
Corporations can have no say in political decisions.
Affordable health care for all!
Government employees should have the same health care and retirement as the rest of us.
Fair trade has to be fair to us too!
Flat tax!
By the way...as I mentioned in an earlier post, gravity is a pressing force...not a pulling force.
