What Martin Thinks:
Rivers is away for a few weeks. She will be back and can speak for herself. I never speak for her.
Nationally...
What the heck is going on in Washington? From the halls of Congress to within the walls of the White House. What has happened? The Health Care Debate raged for a while and it was well publicized. Of course, it was not REALLY a debate. It was the democrats telling the republicans what would happen. Bipartisanship? Is that the name of a new Navy vessel? It was surely not what took place in Washington. Senators and US representatives caved on their "public" position. It was not a debate. It was a deal that Vito Corleone would have been proud of, without the horses' head. No one knows what this newly signed law says. Since when can the public be forced to buy health insurance? Some would say that we are forced to buy car insurance, right? Wrong. No one says that we must drive a car. It is not mandatory to drive. It is a choice.
A Senator or three received whatever for their yes vote. A Representative received the same whatever for theirs. Partisan politics is not in the best interests of the citizens. It is in the interests of the politicians. Once elected, they go right back to campaign mode.
What about jobs? What about ILLEGAL immigration? (notice the word "illegal" in there?) What about the economy? What about our elderly? What about our young? What about our veterans? What about our infrastructure? We send billions to other nations. I wonder where we are getting that money? Are we speeding up the presses at the US Mint? Why can't we fix Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York...well, you get the idea.
Our priorities are backwards. Case in point: A major sports figure can make millions per year for playing a GAME! A teacher, police officer, firefighter, EMS worker can make 30-40k per year, and their jobs are not games.
Time to take back the nation from the elected ones. I may be looking at this incorrectly, but my idea at election time will have me vote against any incumbent. THAT is their term limit. They think they are owed the position. Not!
Time to take back this nation from those who have forgotten this nation.
About Me
- Martin and Rivers
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
- Martin and Rivers..a pair of friends working at the same place. Sharing ideas with the thought that we can all agree, we can all disagree, but we will never argue. After all....WE are not politicians. Democrat? Republican? Independent? It's not about the party. The party has turned into a nightmare. It's about what WE think is common sense. Platforms? They are more like planks these days with each so called "party" walking it. But it's all up for discussion. The opinions you read are just Martin's and Rivers' and they may differ. We admit...we took that concept from something else...the Constitution of the United States.
