We are in a mell of a hess, doubtless. However, it is just as fair to say that the body politic is the real problem. The body-politic is any elected official in the federal government, or any federal employee who creates, changes, affects, government intervention into state’s right’s.
It is clear that the problems (the only problems) they have any ideas about solving are the ones that they create. When it comes time to deal with Katrina, Haiti, Iraq, anything that does not concern a lobbyist, they are clueless, and they are dangerous. They have the power to fix the problems, and no expertise.
The body politic, however, is able to overspend, misspend, pork, and misappropriate, our money. Then, as if it is a surprise to the people that they have stolen the money, we have a gigantic debt. And, the body politic makes speeches, promises, rivers of bovine nitrogenous discharge, telling us that the responsible people will be punished. Those who created such terrible financial burden on “us”, will be held accountable! But, it is not “us” that must bear the burden, because they (body politic) are not a part of us, they are “they”, the ones who created the problem.
Us, we the people are raped, ignored, and misused, as one might misuse an old car. But, it is us who must fund the next set of solutions to the next “biggest problems” that this country has ever faced. And, we keep repeating the same process, and we expect different results. Come on!
There are a few things wrong with our system of government. And, an even longer list of problems with the thieves we have elected to run the system. I think it is a real problem when a person can work a job for 2-6 years and get full retirement benefits. There is a real problem when a person can vote himself a raise any time he chooses, without recourse from his employers. It seems unfair that big business is more important than the little people who make the businesses big.
Yes, I am frustrated. It is true that I see no way for this country to continue to be a/the world leader it was before we allowed the minority to usurp the majority, and doing so in the name of political correctness. And, yes I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. It is on the front of a runaway train, and that light is getting larger every moment we accept mediocrity from those who are charged with leadership
