What is your solution--- everybody is a Monday morning quarterback. It seems like too many of us just cry sitting under the Christmas tree throwing a hissy-fit.

I read comments from others and wonder what world they live in. The list of bungled operations by the present administration is so inclusive only the brain dead don't see the writing on the wall. There is only one party one party, the Repubocats or if you prefer the Demoicans. To many are crying like they didn't get their wishes fulfilled at Christmas. How about coming up with solutions? I don't claim to be right, but we might start with a third party. How about moving people out of welfare by determining the cost of living in a particular area, putting them to work, self-esteem, and then the gov. can make up the difference. I'm doing the research on the feasibility of such an idea. Educating the citizens, particularly the greedy, rich and poor that a more equitable system is better for everyone-- making laws only encourages the will to break them and leads to a police state. Makes me wonder, dreamers who think, "can't we all just get along?"--- spit in one hand and put your dreams in the other and see which fills up first. Perfection is a worthy goal, reality is to keep striving, but accepting the limitations of the human condition. I use to think, only if everyone was like me it would be a perfect world. Reality reared its head and I cherish my uniqueness and the uniqueness of each of us--- viva la difference.

Thanks for the reply--- so rather then complain what is our next step?

I almost forgot, I,m no big fan of President Obama, but it's the Democratic Health Bill. Like all Presidents he has done some good things. If nothing else he has challenged the United States as to what will our future be. Besides he's too busy playing golf=== you know what they say about lawyers---?

Shut it down-- we the people can not just randomly print money to pay our bills--- at some point we must say "no more." I live on Social Security, for which I created with the gov. using that money and filling the trust fund with IOU's.. A friend of mine who is a committed Socialist and a pro. use to shake his head and admit Socialism has no economic. These people are living on the illusions of Marx and Lenin. I know because I was once a believer. We also don't live in Capitalism as defined by Adam Smith. This is the Age of Aquarius where peoplekind are supposed to have aquired the knowledge to of personal understanding. Anyway, I've already made arrangements for survival, if and when the gov. fails which I seriously doubt, at this point who knows, but "enough is enough." Quite sucking off the gov. We need gov., but be prepared to throw, by e******n, the usupers out of office.

George Washington, I paraphrase, when Gov. becomes too big and thus becomes inept dictatorship becomes a possibility, I refer you to what is happening in Egypt. Are we there? I hope not, but the d******e issue issue today is "big gov." and a welfare state. Being opposed to these efforts, I find, us the opposition is fracturing, showing that we, our Nation is being run by an Oligarchy, and those who speak out against this are vilified which denies civilized debate, but again, as i said, this political opposition in Washington has not come up with any reasonable responses, but seem to be running hysterically about--- that we need a new third party, absolutely. Will we get through this? We have weathered political storms in the past and we will weather this one--- it may take awhile. Wh**ever happens I will acquiesce to the results. After all we do have e******ns and the populace will prevail in the long run.
