political rant

OK I really tried to not speak up during this whole political fiasco my country is engaged in, but now the elections are over I will add my two cents.

To put it simple seriously WTF people, it is no wonder the world is messed up the way the voting goes. How completely stupid to target specific groups of people just to win their votes, that is like the most retarded thing ever. Why not promote unity and us all being together in the same boat instead for once. It is idiots of the left that simply promote this division and it really just shows how dumb most people are, like lambs being led to the slaughter. I know the religious right does look like a bunch of mental patients, but from what I have seen of the liberal left they surely are the icing on the cake.

What exactly are you left trying to accomplish, please explain it to me? Seems to me everybody has their own agenda and this is one of the prime reasons why nothing ever gets done to really benefit anyone. It is also obvious majority of you have zero clue when it comes to politics too, I bet most of you still think that the President can just do and change things at his own will. I bet most of you forgot that it is congress that really runs the country and it is they who says what will and will not be passed of what the President purposes. Yeah, isn't that just a shocker to you? Next I would get a refresher course in who has controlled congress most just say since after WWII.

I don't have my data with me, it is back home and I am out of country right now (at the original time of writing this). I think though from like 1945-2009 democrats controlled congress something like 43 years, republicans like 10 or 12 and split like 10-12, I am sorry for not having the exact accurate info on hand but you can see what I am trying to show. Now here is the best part for all you republican haters, the largest increases in the deficit come when we have split congress and then when dems control it. The few times republicans actually controlled congress they actually decreased the deficit more times than they increased it, wow yeah isn't that nuts. Don't count when they controlled it and we were at war either, I wouldn't count that against the dems myself. So next time you all want to say look at what Clinton did, remember he had rep controlled congress who at least worked with him and they accomplished things and that is a fact.

You know you liberal left supporters maybe if you stopped bitching and complaining about how life sucks so bad for you and actually decided to offer real viable solutions you might actually get some stuff done. The only real thing I see from you is your hell bent mission to not let conservatives take control of government. I bet most of you have serious debt based on credit issues too, I mean that is what liberals believe in most the whole let's just spend it now and let the future worry about our mistakes since we take zero responsibility for our actions.

update quick from 1960-2009 the deficit increased 29 times and decreased 21 times, of those increases 21 of 29 times the dems controlled congress was split 6 times and reps only 2 times. in the 21 times it decreased   the reps were responsible for 8 times and did so only between 1995-2006 (11 years), split only managed it twice during Reagan's time, and dems only did it 11 times despite controlling congress 32 of the years between 1960 and 2009. So dems 21 years of increased deficit compared to 11 decreased years.

You can certainly argue your personal view points on why you may not like conservatives but you are basing it on social action and not government action. This is no different than a modern day separation of church and state in my opinion. We are letting too many social actions get in the way of letting government be able to better manage itself. Maybe at best the government should say ok we will set aside a certain percentage of spending for social programs and then hand the money off to a separate entity that then decides who and where the money will go. Liberals don't understand that bringing our deficit into check actually can open up the opportunity for more money to be allotted to more social programs and education. We can then give people more incentive to donate money via tax breaks to also better support social programs that the individual actually supports and believes in. Why should tax money be going to some programs that some tax payers disagree with completely? I think a certain level of social programs is needed because there are indeed times when people are down and out or just need a little helping hand to get by, plus things like education are very important too. Now education is important but school boards, tuition and stuff need to also be brought into check. People complain corporations are making so much money, but they forget how much money people are making through the education systems here. You can try to argue teachers don't get paid enough, but I say for public school teachers the money they make is damn good actually. The schooling they went for doesn't get them six figure salaries nor does any other profession with that level of schooling typically. If they go and get super educated and only are satisfied with being a public school teacher then they are the fools.

Well bottom line is we need to wake up and figure out how to let government run itself efficiently. We need to stop wasteful spending throughout and seriously make major cut backs. It will hurt some people yes, but that also means we the people need to stand up and be more accountable in our actions. We should take a look at some other places and see how the citizens conduct themselves and maybe take a lesson from them. Enough with the me first attitude and change it to a lets make our country a better place for all.
