I wish I could clarify the art of politispeak and pre election promises for the millions of us who are stuck in the rut of really believing the promises and political speeches (pre and post-election) made by the numerous candidates for offices. There are many of the Fox news followers group who believe all that’s reported and said by the Fox news group just because they say it on the air. This is not to say that FOX and other well known news stations are reporting incorrect information in total but it is incumbent on all adherents to Foxocracy to think in terms of who is the biggest supporter of FOX (monetarily) and who takes the ball when Fox puts it in to play for what appears to be a touchdown run? We have become a nation of complainers rather than doers and readers. The bare facts are always obscured by what sounds correct and true but with the correct placement of words is a lie or distortion of truth. Facts: We have had basically the SAME Congress through the several Presidents and no matter what is reported, these are the folks who propose and enact laws. This responsibility is great but is taken lightly by the 535 people we have elected (some for several terms). The Congress was never designed to be a fulltime job but modern office holders have made it so along with enacted laws that allow them to receive a pension after One (1) term, receive a COLA (cost of living adjustment) annually and a very nice health plan for their families and themselves. We have allowed ourselves to be pointed in the direction of the CIC (commander-in-chief) as the reason for problems and lack of solutions but keep in mind that many issues are resolvable by Congress with or without the President. The controversial Affordable Health Care Act is certainly not running as well as it should but had the Congress read the Act before it was passed with a one sided majority, the rollout would have been better and the Act would have been greatly improved. Some issues would not have changed due to the basic policies being better that the ones some folks already had. Congress has quietly joined the ACA despite its flaws but there has been no widespread coverage on that. The idea that this act was pushed through by the majority party has started a firestorm that affects us all and our elected representatives have labeled the ACT “Obamacare” as a derogatory name and many are vowing to overturn it or get rid of it but offering no alternative to the folks who are benefitting from the existing law. I have only this to say: dismiss half of what you see and hear, then read more. Remember a politicians primary goal is to get elected , stay in office on our dime and do as little as possible to get it.
