You know I was talking with one of my dearest friends Crystal about my family and the way we all live together now. And it sounded like a good point to be made about how our country has gone backwards instead of forward.
Now I don’t say that this is a necessarily a bad thing at all. In fact I think after blogging and talking with hundreds of other folks on social sites, that this way of old time depression life style is what really brings families to know the importance of family.
This currant way of life started because of (In my opinion) political greed and the way we have let our political representatives have their way with us. We have let this happen and only we can stop the currant madness.
We as a society have allowed the politicians to pass laws and measures that benefit them first in every little detail. Like when and how they get raises and benefits to how long the term they serve is. Also how much time they get off. We have made it too easy for them to go bad and to give in to lobbyists. They will lie and cheat for all the special benefits they get from unknown sources.
They speak out of both sides of their mouths and are proving to us that just like the Native Americans tried to tell us, they speak with fork tongues, they sure do.
I say we need to throw a rope around these scoundrels and make them do what we say or out they go with no benefits. They are only citizens a not gods! They should have no better benefits than the avg. person have. We have made them too big for their own britches so it’s up to us to bring them down to earth.
We need regular folks in there that live in the real world and not attorneys who are in it for the fame and fortune. (Well they say well if I were out in the real world I would be making a lot more money!!) lol I say if that’s true then they should go there. We all know how attorneys are so we should get them out of political offices so we can stop the constant arguments over petty things.
Then we should limit terms allowed so we don’t get those old cronies messing up the move to go forward.
Well that is my 2 cents worth please let me know what you think.
Thanks for your ear.
Over and out Grand Pop’s Hall
Grand Pop,
ReplyDeleteI've been saying for years that what this country needs is another depression! We have many broken systems and money and greed are behind them all! Even so, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
