The republicans are at it again. They are willing to let the country default on it's obligations while trying to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Lets get this straight, the debt limit is not so the government can borrow more money to spend on new programs as the republican posters will try to lead you to believe (although I do believe most of them believe this), what the debt limit is, is to borrow money to pay the bills the republicans have already authorized to be paid. Caution to republicans, learn the facts before you start posting the lies Fox, Limbaugh and the republican politicians start feeding you, it just makes you look foolish.

Republicans need to take a chill pill. I'm sick of the dramatics, the hysteria, the buffoonery. Straighten up and act like adults, would you?

I found an article in Veterans Today that explains much of what is going on.

"Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream". Find it on-line, watch and learn what and who our leaders care about. Politics in America has nothing to do with our society or individual needs. It is all about who has the most ($) at the end of the game. Our government will send trillions of dollars out of the country "to help" (read: influence) our fellow citizens of planet Earth, but argue over helping our families and neighbors in times of desperate need. Every time mother nature guts this country, it is a war over who gets what ($) and how best to take advantage, financially, of the pain and suffering of our fellow citizens. All we can depend on are each other and prepare for the time when we are sacrificed for the "good" of our political system.
