It seems whenever there is a monetary crisis in Washington, then politicians turn to Medicare and Social Security and recite that they have to be changes made or the programs will failure. Scare tactics at their best. Here is the question, why do politicians never address the need to reduce the Welfare Rolls? Why is it, that politicians feel free to threaten Senior Citizens with changes to Medicare and Social Security, but they never once go after Welfare, which includes Medicaid?
To my way of thinking, it's about the vote and the fact that politicians don't have the balls to stand up for the Middle Class. After all, it's our money that funds these programs, we should have a say in how they are used. Medicare and Social Security provide for our Senior Citizens, they deserve and need these programs.
Medicaid and Welfare need to be changed, and if the people who are on these programs don't like it, then go get a job! Welfare payments should have time limits, 2 years and then you are off. No ifs, ands or buts. But, then they will cry that we aren't fair or that we are discriminating against them. That is a bunch of bull. They need to get off their butts and go to work.

Is There Really Any Differences Between The Candidates?
Turn on any news program, and you will eventually hear how important the Midterm Elections will be to the American People. The Democrats are afraid of losing their power in Washington and the Republicans are afraid that they won't get in back. The one think missing in both these equations is the American People.
I don't care how you look at it, both political parties are in it for themselves. It's all about power, money and prestige. If the parties gave a damn about the American People then they would not have sold us down the river. How did they do this, well it didn't happen over night, but over time. When they didn't step up and help prevent American Business from leaving our shores, when they threw money down the drain by not stopping Medicaid and Medicare fraud, when they bailout Frannie Mae and Frannie Mac, when they bailout Wall St.
It's not just one political party but all of them, that is to blame. It's their pocketbook and their bottom line that their care about, not us. America was at one time a force to be reckoned with, not we are over extended, under employed and failing fast. For some reason, the political leaders still seem to think that we have money in our pockets, or hidden under our mattresses.
Democrats would have you believe that they care about the poor and the down trodden, that's a bunch of bull. All they really want is to convince who ever they can that they are the one to vote for, after that, well you are on your own. Democrats and others have created generations of individuals who believe that the rest of us owe them something, because of where they live, what they don't have or who their great great grandparents may have been. They need to get over themselves and quick. No one owes us anything, it is up to us to built our own life and to reach for our own dreams.
I am sick to death of hearing about the global economy. All this has ever done, is hurt the American Economy and the American People. But wait, according to the media and our leaders, we are sheep to be lead and they can sell us anything and we will buy it. We are too stupid to see the truth, even when it is staring us in the face.
So, is there really any difference in the candidates running for political office? No, when push comes to shove, they don't give a damn about us. What they do care about is lining their pocketbooks at our expense. What recourse do we have? It's really quite simple, vote out the incumbent, but let who ever we elect know, that we will be watching and that we can do the same to them.

Losing Our Freedoms One By One
One upon a time, in a place close to our hearts, there was a land founded on freedom and liberty. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, all fought and died to allow the people of this land to live their lives freely. They could worship how they chose, they could eat what they wanted, read what they wanted and even smoke if they chose to.
Now, in this land of freedom, the people can't worship how they want for fear of ridicule. Pray and the Pledge of Allegiance can no longer be said in school, for those who have no belief in God, have overruled those with faith in God. Television, print and other media outlets have decreed that if your body isn't perfect, then you are less of a human being. Skinny is IN and normal is OUT! Starving yourself is the order of the day, you have to fit into whatever style is hot.
If you read the Bible, then you are a moron, who can't think for them self. It doesn't matter if you have a PhD or a 7th grade education, if you believe in a higher being in you are stupid. You most be made to conform to fit in to this new world order.
If you decide to light up a cigarette then you are breaking the law in some states in this once great land. While smoking may be harmful, as an adult, you should be able to make that decision for yourself. Being able to decide for yourself was part of the liberties and freedoms that this land was built on.
As personal liberties have been lost, this once great land, that our forefathers bleed and died for has diminished. If we don't start standing up to those who would walk over us, then we are handing them the keys to our destruction. We have to take back control of our schools, our jails, our borders and our government.
We need to put pray and the Pledge of Allegiance back in our schools. We need to empower our teachers and principals to discipline our children. Jails need have less privileges and more hard time. They need to place where people don't want to be sent. We have to secure our borders. We need to take control of our government and our so called leaders.
