AND IF ELECTED...

The US government’s credit rating has been downgraded from AAA to AA+ and our government is angry and has launched a full out attack of the blame game. In a way, I did the same thing when the stock market crashed and I lost my retirement. I blamed the government. Who else?

But for now, I am really enjoying watching our leaders squirm as they blame each other while none accept any responsibility for the problems they have created for us. I think I would die of a heart attack if any accepted responsibility and acknowledged what really happened/

For the first time in history, over 70% of the American people believe we should throw the bums out, but that is highly unlikely because 56% believe someone else’s congressperson should be thrown out and not theirs. I don’t understand that.

But I have a plan if elected, and if elected I will not serve. I do not want to be part of a group that wants me to be one of the leaders.

1. I favor a two term maximum for congress to knock out the ole’ boy system and give the government back to the people.

2. I further believe it is time to do away with the lifetime retirement plan for congressional leaders regardless of how may years they serve. Give them a stipend based on the number of years served (8) and let them live on their retirement invest programs like we have to do. I for one am tired of these buffoons with their cushy retirement programs while big business does all it can to deprive its workers of any retirement at all.

3. I believe in helping the needy. But it is wrong to neglect our own family to the benefit of strangers. Who helps us when we have disasters? I know, Saudi Arabia? Help the poor — our poor. Take care of the widows and widowers.

4. Dig through the grants and stop the superfluous studies, committees and research projects.

5. Stop supporting projects that rightly belong to states or cities. Why are we paying for a teapot museum? What is its national value?

6. Support essential services and stop threatening to reduce funds to education, police, firefighters, the military and us old people.

7. STOP MICRO MANAGING and let business do business. Reduce the absurd paper work and while we are at it, eliminate all the loopholes and tax business’ fairly. We treat business taxes like we treat personal taxes. Provide dozens of ways for the wealthy to get out of paying taxes and soak the middles class who we expect to pay the total bill.

I know most people usually blame God for everything that goes wrong in their lives. God did not do this. Our national leaders have created our economic problems. I know that we are Americans and we deserve perfect lives and need them provided for us by our government. It is out American right. Bad things should not happen to us and someone other than ourselves must be responsible, Probably China. They will likely own us soon — that is once they foreclose. Please couldn’t a country with a simpler language take us over? Spanish has a pretty strong foot hold.

These ideas may not be exactly what we want and I know it does not matter what the plan is, some group will hate every part of it. Fighting and arguing is the American way because ever American is absolutely right in their own eyes.
