Reading several publications on a regular basis has given me a broad view of what we are as people. Many of us have no idea of who they are. They think they are liberal but how liberal? They think they are conservative, but how conservative? They think they are somewhere between but where? This brings up the issue of what we actually believe about the economy and what we know. What we Think we  know about the Affordable Healthcare act and what we know. If we read more about these issue ourselves, we would come to the conclusion that we actually know little. The  dependence on what is aired is often short of real facts. The constant nattering of the party political faithful is often  skewed to garner the most support. Many people will vote in the upcoming Presidential election under a  veil of misinformation and the unspoken (and ignored) issue of Race. For clarity: the economy will get better at some point no matter who is in office as sure as it went south with no help from the government. The Congress we have now is as useless as the proverbial teats on a “Boar hog”. Our salvation will come when we the people control the congress instead of relying on them to do what they were elected to do. We do not need media darlings in Congress , we need serious people to do serious work. The key is term limits and revision of their benefits with pensions that mirrors the voters.
