One of the great things about our country is the fact that it has always ran smooth even if we don’t pay ant attention to it. Less than a third of us pay any attention to the people that run our country. Usually only about a forth of us vote. The rest of just don’t want to be bothered by all of the political stuff. Oh, we complain, of course, but never bother to do any more but complain.

Now, however, our country has gotten into what is usually called “one hell of a mess.” Billions of dollars of your money has been given to banks, and yet more of them are closed every day. More billions of dollars of your money (and you children’s) have been spent foolishly with very little results on stopping the unemployment of millions of our countrymen. Billions of your dollars have been given to poorly run super businesses and yet they continue to go bankrupt. One has a very difficult time finding any benefit of the trillion dollars of your money that has been given away. Yet, it continues even today.

There was a time not long ago where the common American would not stand still for this to go on. There would be such an outrage that even the most corrupt politician would take notice. That is not happening now. The few that are protesting the way our money is being stolen and wasted are more or less ridiculed by the very ones that complain about it.

Are there any of us left that are willing to stand up and shout loudly at the politicians that are running our country. Why are we putting up with high officials that don’t pay their taxes while the waste ours? Why are we silent when we see our children’s money being thrown away?

Forget Healthcare. It doesn’t matter what Healthcare package is passed. If our country isn’t put back into a solvent position, no new government program will succeed, and the ones we have will continue to fail. It doesn’t matter who or what caused this mess. Forget party loyalty. Forget Republicans or Democrats. What matters now is how are we going to get out of it. Everyone knows that you cannot avoid bankruptcy by borrowing and spending more money. Yet, we let them do it.

I hear people say it doesn’t do any good to write their congressmen or senators, but they have never written a letter to their congressmen so how do they know? The only thing that our royalty (politicians) fear is losing their luxurious living. We can take that away from them, and they know that if enough of us are standing up, they will lose.
