Show Me!

Wow... seems like everyone is getting wrapped up in all the election stuff. I wish there was a "winner take all" election. Then the President, cabinet members, Congress, the House, and the Justices in the Supreme Court would all be from the same party. I truly don't care which. Then they could be solely and completely responsible for each of their actions and the outcome. Another words they wouldn't have the luxury of the past hundred years of blaming their each other for all the shortcomings and failures of the government to make the interest of "The People" their first and only consideration. Dealing with greed and corruption would be the first order of business. Just a thought that would never happen... besides... which party would want to go first, and have the ultimate responsibility without having the option of blaming the other party for their failures. After all, that's how the two party system works today. Accomplish nothing, grab everything in their best interest, greed and corruption and special interests are their way of life... and do everything that is at the other end of the spectrum from what is in the best interest of the people.... and it's all okay... because they blame the other party for their failures... failures even as decent human beings. I dare say that if this was ever proposed or considered, that neither party would want to go first. Congress maintains "business as usual" just like they have done for the past century. They give lip service to what you want to hear, blame the other party for all the damage they do to America and it's people... and then continue on, year after year, with the without anyone to answer to. Sad to say that there is no solution... and that's just the way they want it to be. So if it's easier to single out any one person... hey, yall go for it. But there's many more guilty of bigger crimes against the American People then any one person. So shout out against which ever party or person you want to. Praise which every party you want. Nothing is ever going to change. A pit full of vipers, no matter the variety is still a pit of vipers... poisonous to us all. Or if you prefer, a den of demons... either works for me. As the political and social climate changes everyone needs to realize what the politicians really think... that the older you get, the less useful you are to them and society, and the less useful you are to them as political supporters and political influence. You worked all your life to support the political and economic system, and now that you are older, you are simply a drain on society, and more importantly to the politicians, you are of no value to them anymore. The very title of "seniors" now implies that you will get the least amount of consideration, even to basic health care. They consider you are a drain on society and the longer they keep you alive, the bigger drain you will be. So don't expect too much from your government... you're only gonna get the scraps. So shout it to the top of the mountains how wonderful your party is. Maybe a little bit of Missouri has rubbed off on me... I say  to the politicians... quit telling me and the rest of the country how great you are... SHOW ME! Bet you didn't know that Missouri was nick named the "Show Me State" way back when, based on the political issues of the day. They wanted the government and the politicians to show them that they could do the right thing... those people from Missouri, like the rest of us today, are still waiting... for the politicians and their respective parties to... "show me"... by doing the right thing.
