Judge a person/politician by his actions, not his words.... Words are easy to say especially when you know what people want to hear.

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
It is now official—you are ALL corrupt morons:

The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775—you have had 234 years to get it right—and it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935—you have had 74 years to get it right—and it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938—you have had 71 years to get it right—and it is broke.

War on Poverty started in 1964—you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"—and they only want more.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965—you have had 44 years to get it right—and they are broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970—you have had 39 years to get it right—and it is broke.

The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, it has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before—you had 32 years to get it right—and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars—AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
Are you crazy, or do you just believe all Americans are morons too???

Truly, the inmates are running the asylum—and what does this say about us, as voters who put such idiots in office?? If we do not vote against EVERY incumbent currently in office—we are ALL morons, regardless of our political leanings.

There are too many morons among us Brad and there are too many more in power.

If the "gov" were applying for a job... with that resume of failures they would never work again.

The problem with jobs as I see it: American workers are earning far too much as each business sees it. Thus they abandon ship here in America and jump to some other country. Until we can stop American companies from moving their operations to other countries there will be no jobs here in America. But we keep buying their foreign made products. Of course in some cases you have no choice if you want, say a television. Be conscious shoppers and read labels and see where the product is made. I buy Craftsman tools but here again you have to read labels. Some of their tools now are made overseas. You have to carefully read the label and make sure it says made in USA. Of course the products we buy that are made in America cost more but I feel it is worth it. It does create American jobs.

The way I see politics is: If they can't do something to make the party look good then no matter how good it may have been it will not happen. I am so tired of politics and each party just looking out for the party rather than the country. Until this stops I don't see anything good happening with the country.

I have see a lot of good things in this country but for the last 20 or 30 years it had been rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell. From a Merle Haggard song. Listen to it sometime. He explains pretty much what has happened in this country.

I don't like being old but it sure beats having to be out there in the job market these days and worrying about someone cutting your throat to make themselves look better and make you look bad.
