Okay, I admit that I am not a Rhodes Scholar but I do think I have an ability to see things in a logical way and find a simplistic solution to most problems/issues. So this should explain why I am so surprised so many people are acting like a bunch o f sheep by being unduly influenced by the particular media they watch. Let's take the current Race for President between Romney and Obama. I am extremely disappointed in the results of our current President when it comes to the economy. I think he has been able to do some really good things in the past 3.5 years, such as ending the war in Iraq,finding and eliminating Bin Laden and getting a health care bill passed. Yes, I do believe that "Obama Care" is a good thing. I find it disappointing that he failed to do anything effective for the middle class. Bailouts and cash infusions were offered to banks and financial institutions, the auto industry, "green" companies and a host of other parasites that mismanaged their business. The middle class is what really drives our economy and we were left out of any programs or solutions. Now he has to answer for this. His own party did nothing to help him during the first two years when they had the majority. Instead, they continued to act as selfish and self-serving as usual. By the time they came to their senses, it was too late and they lost their majority in the House to Republicans. The Republicans then managed to block any real economic reforms. Mitt Romney is now in a position of possibly unseating Obama putting the Republican agenda in place. I wonder how Mitt and the Republican party are going to bring our economy back?? So far I have heard a lot of promises but not a lot of specifics,( kind of like when Obama ran in 2008). I hear a lot about cutting taxes and spending but it seems to break down to, cutting taxes for the rich, big companies, banks and financial institutions but still nothing for the middle class. I hear of major cuts/changes to Social Security, Medicare and other social programs but nothing about how to increase revenue, which, if you are realistic at all, is sorely needed. Romney and Ryan have nothing in common with the middle class in spite of what they say. Have we all forgotten that it was during the eight years Bush was the President that got us into this mess?? Between a tax reduction that wasn't paid for, an unneeded war that wasn't paid for and a lessening of regulations that allowed the financial industry to play fast and loose, those eight years put this country in financial jeopardy that will take years and some very tough decisions to remedy. If the Republican party has all the answers, where have they been for the past 3.5 years?? Let's all open our eyes and realize that until both parties get realistic about working together for the good of our country instead of what is good for their Party we will continue to squeeze the middle class until we disappear.
