However, we seem to forget history of the blacks in this
country. Blacks were attacked in this
country both verbally and mostly physically by democrats. It was democrats that refused repeated
attempts by republicans in Congress to get a civil rights bill passed. Almost 60 years ago, President Eisenhower
tried but was blocked by democrats, JFK tried, but the democrats blocked the
legislation and only when President Lyndon Johnson saw the political advantage
to passing a civil rights bill did he put forward such legislation. But, a check of the records will show that
the bill only passed with complete republican support as again most democrats
opposed this legislation and now they like to say the republicans are racist
when history shows the democrats was composed of racist and KKK members. It is all there in the history of this
country. But we know such history that
disparages progressives, liberal democrats is not taught in our schools and
more so under the Common Core curriculum.
If one reads "American History in Black and White, by David Barton,
one will be better educated on the hypocrisy of the democrats and how they had
hoodwinked the blacks in this country.
They have made the blacks slaves to the democratic party by indirectly
saying, stay with us and we will take care of you from cradle to grave and we
will blame the republicans for your plight.
Eventually, there are only two things that can happen, and only two
things, our country will either run out of money or go bankrupt. The well will eventually go dry. Only common sense will tell you that, but it
seems common sense is lost on our voters.
As individuals, we cannot continue to borrow and spend
without being cut off by lending institutions.
If we printed money, we would go to jail. Eventually, we declare bankruptcy and lose what we have
accumulated to help pay off our debts.
What options do our government have.
Either tax us into oblivion, seize most if not all our money in our
savings accounts as has happened in Greece and other EU countries over the past
two years. In either scenario, our
government continues to spend what they do not have and we are the ones that
suffer. When the country goes belly up,
what then? If we do not put a stop to
our reckless spending and actually make legitimate spending cuts across the
board you can kiss our country good-bye.
Sen. Rand Paul put forth a great idea a few years ago, that is cut 1
penny for every dollar budgeted every year and you can reduce our deficit. We must also take a look at Social Security
and Medicare and may have to go to some form of means testing. Since we all have contributed to Social
Security, we may have to cut benefits to those whose retirement income exceeds
$250,000 per year. However, this may
have to be done in stages depending on that person's retirement income. A cut of 25% and then 50%, 75% all depending
on a person's income, but for argument sake, if your income is say over one
million, maybe you receive only 25%. Your contributed, and should receive the 25%.
Just some thought to throw out there for discussion. As for Medicare, we have go after the fraud,
eliminate duplication, streamline the process, and if your income exceeds a
certain amount, maybe Medicare becomes your secondary. Usually, those with high incomes have a
better insurance policy than Medicare offers.
But we need to get politics out of these questions, and actually seek
honest answers, rather than answers for political advantage that we see with
Obamacare that does not work. But we also
know, out elected representatives lack courage, They are only concerned with getting themselves elected and not
about saving our country from demise.
Not all 535 representatives, but at least 500. But, we fall for their rhetoric and continue to vote them into
office. Our elected officials are
great on promises, promises and more promises, but always fail to deliver
unless it is an election year or through some backroom deal where we the voters
can be assured will get screwed.
