Let us look at the real reasons behind the fiscal problems. First the people we have elected to represent us (the Scamocrats and Dupublicans) have for the past 20 to 30 year gotten “theirs” while taking ours. If you look at the situation as a balance sheet you will see their well being on the plus side and ours (the voters) on the negative side. The idea is to balance the budget so the two sides are as even as possible. This leaves a bit of wiggle room to adjust for various outside influences. Where we are now is that the politicians we elect represent themselves and special interests, this has been the case for years and is now coming back to bite the voters in the butt as the elected politicians are taking no responsibility for it. The only people who get the heat is the commander in chief (whoever that happens to be). The legislative branches of each state and the federal government are mostly long time office holders who have feathered their own nests while plucking the feathers from their constituents. Now the local state legislature is being called back in session at additional (paid) overtime to finish work they did not finish in the regular session. These same folks will be spending the campaign funds we provide to persuade us to retain them ( as millstones?) to look after our interests. There is a sure cure for the political morass we are in and that is voting them out of office.
