Across the nation the state leaders (governors) are all seeking ways to keep or pull their state out of financial holes. It appears that the Dupublican leaders are the most vocal. Each of the high-profile “Gubers” are seeking to balance the budget on the back of their workers. They have presented cuts that create more problems than they solve, as I under stand it the Unions that are involved are not against the cuts but more against the idea of losing the ability to collectively bargain. These newbies are riding the wave of recent mid-term elections that were dominated by the Dupublicans with the aid of splinter groups. What will happen when the touted changes fail to appear or alleviate the problems? The Scamocrats are fighting back while watching these events unfold. This is a picture of the tricks used in politics to advance an issue or initiative, the politicians we have elected (too many times) have at last made clear that they are not as trustworthy as they need to be. It is easy to point fingers at one another but how about dissolving the 2 party system and go to a no party system? Having no party to rally us in an errant direction we as voters can make decisions based on what we know and see, while this is not a perfect solution it is a solution where we are responsible and hopefully can learn from our mistakes instead of some one elses.
