Politricking


We can look forward to 1 year of mind-boggling and exasperating rhetoric and politispeak. We have 17 plus candidates aspiring be a candidate for the Presidency of these we must choose who we deem to be the best option. If we really pay attention to what is being said rather than the entertainment value of their words and actions we would quickly see that none of them really have any idea of what is needed by the 99% of us. Their focus is to do what ever they can for the 1% (who are their handlers). Take one item that is out there: dismantle the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and replace it with ?. Change social security by raising the retirement age, cut benefits for higher income seniors (what ever that is), means test benefits and revive the privatization plan for the program. Just looking at these two important issues, who do you think these people will represent if elected. If you take into account the Pundits on “Faux News”  (whose incomes certainly preclude their having to live hand to mouth when they retire) and other media outlets are all touting one faction or another rather than covering  the issues as the (news) should. The modern day election cycles are all about who can trash the other side the most and get the most attention even if their messages can be rated from suspect  to outright lies. The real changes in government is in the hands of the voters not entertainers or politicians but we have ceded that power to the people we elect.
