The Battle Over Entitlements

The Republicans are saying in this election cycle that the biggest problem that the country and government will face is how to pay for the entitlement programs, like Social Security, medicare, etc. There plan and one that McCain is embracing hardily is to give tax cuts and lower entitlement payments.

You know I have listened and thought on this subject for several days and I have come up with a novel idea—END THE WAR! (sarcasm intended) How many trillions, that is trillions with a “T”, is the war gonna cost the American taxpayer? Could not that money be spent here in this country on…I don’t know….entitlements?

Have you noticed that both candidates are promising jobs or emplyment. But they are not addressing the immediate concerns of the people. They both are giving obscure solutions to complex problems. Hell, I will promise you whatever you want if you will vote for me. My point is, they ALL have lied to you and you do not seem to care. You do not hold them accountable for their lies. Why is that?

Both plans seem to say, “screw the American taxpayer”. Why not? After all they are the ones that finance the whole damn government. Corporations get all the assistence they can stand, but yet the people and the entitlement programs have to stand raid after raid just to make a few a couple more bucks. At what point do the American people become the most important issue? At what point do the American people who have fought and worked for this country deserve an adequate life?

What part of this government is truly showing a concern for the American people? Better yet, what part of this government is a government for the people? Your vote is very important, so please use it wisely. Do not let them keep your ignorant, learn the issues and how it will realistically impact your life, not the lame promises of the past, but real issues and real solutions.
