Political Junk Yard Part 2

A conservative politician's point of view is that progression & progressives are wrong. How as a nation do we turn our back on our own infrastructural?How can we be so hell bent on nation building other countries and deny our own.Feed the poorest of 3rd world countries, but deny helping our poorest citizens. Not that I know exactly what the fore fathers wanted for this country, but I would thing they would think we kinda misinterpret them. Invoking the fore fathers my have its own double edge sword in a argument trying to prove a point. All sides the political spectrum can the agree that the fore fathers idea of The United States being a grand nation.But when it comes to present day dilemmas, we can't face it by sitting back and say "the US is perfect".Our modern day issues are from years,even decades of neglect & ethnocentric belief. Lets face it,some countries do better than us at stuff. Competition to do well for our citizens is something we should take in stride, not politicized for fear.

Political Yard SALE!!!

Spring is usually the time to do your major cleaning ,but in the political season the best time would now (mid-summer).With majority of people on vacation & the last of their worries are some billionaire's taxes, the news's voice to meager ears.So why not take advantage?I decided to do a little cleaning of my own for media pundits,campaign spokesmen, congress, & anyone within the political spectrum. Removing all the cliches & talking points that sound good for the situation.Not like they're going to listen to me,but I figured I'd take a crack at it.

Big Government!!!!!

It's comical to me just hearing the words "big government". Automatically I think of a giant robot in a low budget Godzilla flick.How the giant robot (obviously a man in a robot costume) stomping on the toy version of the city. The actors playing civilians,looking up in fear, and portraying that there really is a giant robot stomping on their town. Then I snap out of that daydream and see the usual monger.Republicans usually base the "big government" fear to the public when they're preferred office is occupied by another party.Just like the actors,fearing something fictional.Its been that way for the past 30 years now."Don't vote for this guy, he promotes big government!".The bad thing about this argument (although a catchy to some) is that it can really only work for someone taking their fist crack at public office. That is if you're into that whole "character" thing.With the track record at what it is Republicans never seem to abide by the criticism articulate. The most intrusive legislative Patriot Act, was Republican devised. Even reached  a GOP debate this pass season, Mitt Romney & Rick Santorum jockeying for who was smaller in government; both being former politicians.Imagine that,two men battling over who is smaller.In the end we all know that government is eventually need for some things whether you like it not, and some pretty good stuff at that.A place to learn,a place that give us mail, a road to get us one place to another.I can go on but you understand.Its best we put the "big government"  bumper stick on car you drive the least.

Capitalism problems

The United States is very unique. The economy grows in two parts,Business capital & The Fed (gov).To know this country, you must you its history(as would any other).Back to 1920's, when a familiar stock  market crash to the one of most recent (2008).Having the government forced to give loads of money to repair the market forcing the nation into a recession, as it were to both situations.We are a smart enough country in the sense that we know when someone is trying to cheat,you keep your eye on them,right?. So, you would slap on regulations to make sure the wall street guys do it again,right?So why so defensive on regulations?Understandably cutting the ones that don't meet today's criteria, but you complain bout the new ones sure don't make it sound like you learned your lesson.The fact that this narrative can pick up to the blue collar and working force (under $250,000/yr) confuses me.Its a prime example supporting against your own interest. This shouldn't really offend the rich for ,1.its true, and 2.YOU'RE RICH!!!!!
