Once upon a time the majority of the voting public elected an accomplished orator on an undefined word “change”. They didn’t like the actual definition. The newly elected government filled the media with such things as The Green Thing, Health Care, the Budget Deficit, Afghanistan, Jobs, etc. All were interesting but were not the important thing. The important thing was the change in the power of the American Government!
No longer were the citizens to choose the Medicare services they wished, no longer were they in charge of the Budget Deficit, no longer did they understand what the “greening” of the world entailed and no longer did they realize that the American Way was threatened!
What some realized, that they had made a horrendous error. What others realized, that they made a mistake but they would never admit it!
So, we’re stuck. Our foreign policy is not fully acceptable, our Budget Deficit is unknown, and what we’re going to have to sacrifice is also unknown. So we’re stuck!
So now the media strikes!
Jobs, jobs, the national deficit, Tiger Woods, etc. upon etc.
All, very interesting but NOT the real issue!
The Republicans have suddenly found religion but they can’t forget they’re a party just like the Democrats. It’s still Party politics!
The Government abounds in party rhetoric! Each party blames the other. Listen to the speeches on T.V.
No one has an answer! But, we’ve organized the public to rely on the Government….for everything!
It’s a bad situation and most voting people know it!
The “minority” voting people have a way to go. They can use their judgment…..their discernment!
The “majority” voters want to turn their backs and not admit anything.
The rest of the people are interested more in their families, their jobs and their incomes and their need to do anything is diminished.
But America, at least up to now, has relied on it’s inventiveness….. to discover new industries. … new things … new ways to do more business! Do the new proposed policies offer hope in this new administration? Or, is it party politics as usual!
Can the Government change?
Does the hope in the new elections give us hope?
Will the vote count more on substance than on an undefined word?
