Politics

It is highly unlikely that my president will be elected a second term. He certainly would loose the election if it were held today. There are some who points to a possible move to the middle to preserve power ala bill clinton. But I don't think that will happen in my presidents case for two reasons. One: Bill clinton, for all his faults, is an excellent politician. And two: Bill Clinton was more concerned with holding power then enacting his agenda. Where as my president appears to be a leader driven exclusively by ideology.

Yes, I've noticed you're big on statistics. Congressman Duncan (who I've become acquainted with through calls and emails) just sent me an article from the Washington Post written by a very middle of the road economic columnist who also writes for Newsweek. It was published in the post on March 15, 2010. In the column he spouts some interesting statistics about health care that conflict with the ones coming out of Washington. You should check it out.

As unemployment rises the scale continues to tip in the direction of less people paying into social security. We are adding more debt and the only jobs that are being created are government jobs. Those jobs are payed for by us taxpayers. I am afraid for the future of this nation and I am not alone. The sky will always be there but I'm afraid it's looking down on a nation that is skating on thin ice. We've had hard times before but never with the amount of zero's we're looking at now. Now our leaders are trying to push through more programs that are going to add even more zeros to our national debt. When we can't pay our bills we start cutting back and stop spending. We work harder and learn from our mistakes. I see our leaders doing the opposite. How can that lead anywhere but straight to disaster? Just because China has never called in our debt doesn't mean they won't. I don't think the world sees us as the super power we used to be. I think they see our debt as weakness and they are right. Therefore, they are not as afraid of us as they once were. They act like the magic money fairy is going to come down and wave her wand and make it all go away. I hope for the best but I am preparing for the worst because I don't see anyone stopping the madness. Everyone should be thinking what they are going to do if they stick their atm card in the slot and nothing comes out. I have a plan. Do you? You can call it hysteria if you want but if I'm wrong I'll be Ok. If I'm right I'll still be ok because I'm prepared. If you're wrong, you could be in deep doo doo.
