Will we be any Better Off?
[Excerpts]
But then I noticed that nothing really seemed to change no matter who was in
power. I became disillusioned as I realized that Republicans were doing things
pretty much the exact same way that Democrats were doing them when they got into
power.
Yes, there are some minor differences between the two parties on taxes and
regulations.
If we elect one guy over the other our economy might decline at a slightly
different pace.
But in the end both political parties are taking us to the exact same
place.
Down the toilet.
I wish that wasn’t true.
But we need to be honest with ourselves….
-Both parties fully support the Federal Reserve.
-Both parties supported the nomination of Ben Bernanke to a second term as
the head of the Federal Reserve.
-Both parties endlessly push the
job-killing “free trade” agenda of the global elite.
-Both parties see nothing wrong with running absolutely enormous trade
deficits with the rest of the world.
-Both parties supported TARP.
-Both parties supported the “economic stimulus” packages.
-Both parties supported the auto industry bailouts.
-Both parties have run up massive amounts of federal debt when in power.
-Both parties have greatly expanded the size of the federal government when
in power.
-Both parties are full of control freaks and both parties have added more
layers of ridiculous regulations to our already overburdened society
when in power.
-Neither party supports getting rid of the income tax or the IRS.
-Neither party has any intention of doing anything to prevent the
coming derivatives crisis that could bring down the entire global financial
system.
-Both parties are absolutely showered with cash from the big Wall Street
banks.
-Both parties think that the TSA is doing a great job.
-Both parties supported the NDAA and the renewal of the Patriot Act.
-Both parties have greatly expanded the unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens by
government agencies.
-Both parties are extremely soft on illegal immigration.
-Both parties have treated military veterans horribly.
-Both parties are absolutely packed with corrupt politicians that are living
the high life at your expense.
-Neither party plans to balance the federal budget in 2013 if their candidate
wins the election.
-Neither party has a plan that will fix our deeply
broken health care system.
-Neither party has any plans to shut down the Federal Reserve. In fact, both
parties see absolutely nothing wrong with our current system.
Of course this list could go on indefinitely, but hopefully you get the
point.
But I can understand those that are deeply frustrated with Barack Obama and
that desperately want to avoid another four years of his policies.
I also believe that Barack Obama has been the worst president in U.S. history
and that he and his entire cabinet should immediately resign in disgrace.
However, the Republican party foolishly chose to nominate the Republican
candidate that was most like Barack Obama to run against
him.
That was an enormous mistake.
No matter what the talk radio shows are telling you, the truth is that this
country will continue on pretty much the same path no matter who wins the
election.
I know that statement is going to make a lot of people angry. But it is the
sad reality of what we are facing.
Even if you focus on just the economy, the truth is that Mitt Romney’s “five
point plan” is almost exactly the same thing that Barack Obama has been
saying.
Many Americans believe that since Mitt Romney made lots of money on Wall
Street conducting leveraged buyouts of vulnerable corporations that he
understands how to fix our economy.
Sadly, that is not the truth.
I have listened to many Romney speeches about the economy and I keep waiting
for some pearls of wisdom, but I have found that he is just as clueless about
the economy as our other recent presidents have been.
Look, I know that there are a lot of people out there that have good hearts
that want to have someone that they can believe in.
They want to believe that things can get better.
They want to have hope.
And I don’t blame them for that.
I just think that it is time to pull our heads out of the sand and realize
that things are not going to be getting any better.
A political savior on a white horse is not going to come riding in to save
the day.
So by this point in the article a whole lot of Democrats and a whole lot of
Republicans are very upset with me.
But I am not against you. There is way too much hate in our society today.
Even if we disagree with someone else we can still love them.
I just think that it is very important that we understand that there is not
going to be a solution to our problems on the national level and that our
economy is headed for collapse no matter who gets elected.
The total amount of debt in the United States has risen from less than 2
trillion dollars to nearly 55 trillion dollars over the past 40 years, and there
is nothing that Barack Obama or Mitt Romney can do to prevent the “correction”
that is coming
