Had Enough Already?

I have had enough of this hypocrisy we call politics! I just don't know how we can continue to put up with these so-called leaders any longer. They continuously legislate with fear-mongering. They wanted us to have a new form of government healthcare that won't work, after the old form, medicaid and medicare, hasn't worked. It seems that every time the government gets involved in something, it goes badly. During the bail-outs, the big money people made out like bandits, while those of whom lost everything, 401k's, etc.. didn't get anything. Wars that we have no business involved in, to overtaking businesses. Now, we are faced with yet another doom and gloom scenario, the debt .  Does no one realize that Moody's and Standard and Poors are part of the problem in a few things in this country. They are just another part of the gang in Washington. They keep telling us of a default, well the only things to be defaulted on  are the nonsense programs and campaign donors. It's called "paybacks". They are afraid of not being able to waste more money and repay the favors given them by their "good ole' boy network".  There is more than enough money to pay what needs to be paid. They will use fear to get their way. Global warming, now climate change, is another scenario. As I can agree to the fact that we humans have contributed to the pollution factor, it is nowhere near what they try to make us believe. All you have to do is watch the weather reports and you will see that these weather patterns that they speak of are just that, patterns. These pattern changes happen every  40 to 60 years. But, with fear mongering, they tend to make millions if not billions of dollars. They are setting us up for socialized healthcare by taking away our right and freedom of choice. If we ever come to day when we really have universal medicine, we would have already been pre-programmed for what we can eat, drink, buy, sell, etc... People don't realize that with every law that is passed we lose more rights and privileges and the politicians gain more power and control. To the public, the bureaucrats and other politicians seem to be at odds with the insurance companies, wall street, and all other big businesses, but yet behind the scenes, they are working together to exploit and take further advantage of the American people This is nothing more than GREED. The insurance companies along with the credit reporting agencies are working together in order to bilk us out of more and more money and they do this with the politicians blessings because they will get their piece of the pie. Case in point; it used to be that the only time you needed to rely on your credit score was to borrow money, now, it is used for practically everything. When you buy insurance, your premiums are based on your credit score, not just your driving record or health concerns. This makes more money for all involved. When you apply for a job, your credit score, as well as your work history, is looked at in two ways, by the employer and then the insurance company that holds the company's liability coverage. This is not the way it is supposed to be. The whole system is corrupt. The education, judicial,, and law enforcement systems are among them as well. The media and the talking heads on television and on the radio just aren't doing their jobs of informing the public as to that which is really going on. They are more concerned with ratings, sponsors, and many other things. What ever happened to true investigative journalism? I wish I knew. Will it ever come back? Who knows, one can only hope. When are we, the American people , going to take a stand and say "Enough"? I hope that it is soon, before it's too late to make a difference. The elite's have had their run of things for too long, it's time for the rest of us to take control of things and restore America to her greatness once again. Ever wonder how we've come to where we are? We never get a real choice of whom to vote for. The only ones that we get to choose from are those who can raise the most money for their party and not who can do the most for our country. Do you really think they understand how we are doing? Do you think they care? If they really did, things would be much better for everyone. Let's put it this way, how many poor people do you ever see at one of their get together parties? The only poor you might see are the ones waiting tables or cleaning up after the elite. How's that for caring?! If you listen carefully to all who are running for office, you won't hear how they want to give up some of their power and control but, rather how you are going to do so. Besides, how can we expect them to work together on anything after bashing each other to bits. Republicans, Democrats and all the rest?.  We were supposed to have a better way of doing things in D.C. this time, what happened? Where is the transparency?  Be careful that which you choose to believe. Keep this in mind and ask the tough questions and demand real answers instead of the standard circle talk as usual. Until next time.
