I feel beaten down. Never in my life time have I seen the kind of things going on in Washington in terms of the politicians being bought and sold, politicians not paying any attention to the wants and desires of their voters back home, and such outright lies and half-truths. I've never seen the kind of spending that is taking place now - spending that the American people will never be able to repay. I think we are out of control and I'm just sitting back waitning for the crash to happen. I surrender. As a voter, I am beaten down and weary. I see no logic in anything coming out of DC. We are doomed. While our country goes down the tubes, the liberals dance in the street and blind to what is going on or just simply don't care. I'm waving the white flag. I quit.
I hear you! Spot on. It's like a drunken orgy is running the nation by committee.
Politically the problem boils down almost entirely to the two party system. It allows parties to select our candidates for us from their own pool of traitors. It allows them to monopolize power regardless of how mediocre or even disastrous their leadership becomes because the other party is as bad or worse.
And both parties conspire at many levels to limit ballot access to any challengers, use their positions to dominate fundraising, and frame the debates into choices between two brands of failure.
When are Americans gonna wake up to the fact that the parties are criminal conspiracies designed to at best subvert democracy and at worse hold it hostage?
Until they do, the present pattern of runaway spending and bankrupting of the nation for short term political gains will destroy us. Period. It's a runaway train destined to wreck.
