Electing a President... Another Ponzi Scheme!

Since forced into early retirement, I find I have a lot of time on my hands. Sitting idle is not what I like to do so I find other things to occupy my time. Reality TV is real nor reality... so screw that. The news has caught my attention and over the last year or so I have started to pay attention to what is going on in our world... the USA.

Politics is something I never knew a lot about or got involved with, but with a lot of time to kill you start to pay attention without actually realizing  you are getting involved. I never understood what was so difficult about the job of a politician. To be perfectly honest, I still don't understand.

I have narrowed it down to its simplest form... "The agenda of any politician is to live for the Party." I don't mean the birthday party or the farewell party or the bachelorette party... I am referring to the Political Party, otherwise referred to as 'The Machine" in some circles.

Once in a while we will see true bipartisan actions... but that is very infrequent. It APPEARS no matter what the issue is... weather its wrong or right, good or bad, or anything, anywhere in between,  the politician will support his/her Party to the death... not a bad Idea actually, I would love to see Boner get his ass kicked by Clinton, Hillary that is.

No no no no no, I am not loyal to the GOP or the DNC or any other Party by any other name.  None. Personally I just don't like Boner, he is just a big blow-hard. There are as many that lean left that I dislike as there are right wingers. Seriously... is there a candidate that is in it for the People?

At the time Romney would not release his tax info I did a few searches on the net worth of the presidents both before and after elected to the highest office in the land.

No surprise, after a person is elected to President of The United States his net worth makes a dramatic increase. With this in mind... do you think a politician has any reason to support "special interest"? In almost all cases, a president leaves the office with full pockets. This does not stop here either! Senate and congress must suffer the same consequences, get elected get rich. 

What happened to the idea....  "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Unfortunately Lincolns word have been long lost is the bureaucracy created by the federal government. Remember when you vote, you will be voting for the party not the man.

Sorry Mr President...the new form of government has deeper pockets and shorter arms.

Hide The Kids...Congress Is In Town!

Congress... Get Your Priorities In Order.

Lets see, wild unemployment...according to www.deptofnumbers.com as of May 2012 unemployment in the US was at 8.2%, another sight  www.photius.com rates the US as 92nd highest out of 262 countries, not bad you would think! However the US has a a deficit we will never dig out of in the next hundred years, according to www.gfmag.com, the US ranks as #2 in the world deficit, only to be outspent by Ireland, but the forcast is for US to be #! by the end of 2012.

 Crime is also wild as ever... according to www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes, the US is rated highest in crime worldwide with total # of crimes... we can beat the best of the world.

Stack the stats anyway you want but crime is also here to stay just like the deficit and unemployment.


A little more bad news...

 (Reuters) - "Americans spend twice as much as residents of other developed countries on healthcare, but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system, according to a report released on Wednesday."

So what has congress decided to do about all the mayhem... NOTHING, nothing at all, in an effort to prove which party holds the power. Lets face it, they do not give a damn about anything but power...

So what is congress doing to foolishly spend our tax dollars? Apparently going after athletes on steroids seems to be the latest proof of power fad. 

Seriously, what difference does it make to me, or to the US and the world? More government up our ass! Its a game, thats it, its just a game. If all the professional players quit, if sports became outlawed, would the world collapse... NOT. A few thousand people would have to find a real job just like the other 200 million working Americans. Sports are not a necessity, food is a necessity, warmth and shelter is a necessity, clean water, education, clean air, access to health care... all necessities. Baseball, football, basketball, hockey and whatever else is a player sport it NOT a necessity. Now I’m not saying they have no value, they are just not a necessity. Example: you have not had a meal in 5 days, you aimlessly search for food, and then you see it... 2 doors, one marked all the food you can eat and the other all the baseball you could watch (minus the beer and hot dogs)... if you say I pick baseball then I know you have no idea what its like to go hungry, you are as shallow as they can get, an idiot! When all the necessities are within your reach you forget they are necessities. OK another example... you are bleeding from every orifice and again... 2 doors, all the basketball you can watch or the best healthcare you can get. Again, don’t be an ass, sports are not a necessity by any stretch of the imagination. 

So how long before congress puts an 8 year old child on trial for eating too much candy before PLAYING hopscotch? Its just a game, the number of home runs or yards passed won’t benefit the human race in anyway. Keep up the good work congress, keep spending out taxes on useless shit... keep taking food out of the mouths of our hungry children, you got the power! Hide that Hershey bar kid, congress is in town!
