Mr. President And Congress Let's Put It All On the Table by Walt Barrett


   Why do the Elderly, the poor, the sick and the underprivileged have to be the one's who always take the cuts? I expect the next election to be a veritable blood bath! If it isn't then the American people deserve what they get! We are the biggest suckers in the world. We have to stop picking up the check for the entire world.
All we really need here is jobs, some decent management, and a strong military. We don't need boots on the ground all over the world either. These upstart countries need to learn that if you declare war on the USA you lose your Electricity, food, water, sewerage, and fuel supplies. It's pretty had to run a war sitting there in the dark starving and rotting in your own filth and the best part is that we would not suffer thousands of casualties that then are denied proper care in the VA hospitals!
I served in the military and I know what I'm talking about.
Don't we ever learn anything from History?  Are we all supposed to be stupid?
If the government is going to play budget games and politics with our Jobs, homes, businesses, medical, medicine and other benefits then let's put EVERYTHING on the table and stop all foreign aid and fighting foreign wars. Quit wasting our tax money so we can take care of business here at home. Let the rest of the world solve its own problems for a change. Next election I'm for voting all of these privileged people out of office and letting them try making it in the real world without big money in back of them and see how they like it. If being a "World Leader" means being constantly broke then I'm against it. I have often said that you cannot rule the world while standing in financial quicksand. Many have tried it and they all have failed. Look what happened to Russia! Everyone that I know is disgusted. We are not Santa Claus and everyone should email the president and congress and tell them to quit screwing around, clean up their act, or get out! The president should sit down with these people now and talk this problem out. Too many people's lives are at stake. It's time to put it all on the table or go down. We don't need more taxes. We do need to stop wasteful spending and trying to run the world because that is an expensive game and has destroyed many governments that preceded ours!
Make your life mean something other than a passive existence and for God's sake stand up and be counted!
