Once upon a time....
A long time ago, alright a year, but it seems like forever ago, the US Congress and the President of the United States agreed that since America's leaders couldn't figure out how to borrow money and pay it back, that if they didn't come up with a solution the absolute solution was best. The Absolute Solution was known as "Sequester".
Sequester was never suppose to happen, its a composition of broad-based cuts that don't look for specific events, simply hitting every single agency. Now the way it was billed by Republicans the spin was "it's only 2% of the budget and it's in regards to new spending, not current", Democrats offered that it would be a "catastrophe". Both lied as usual. It is not a catastrophe nor is it s simple "new spending" hit.
If this even were in regards to new spending, current employees wouldn't be furloughed and the guidance would be a limit it new hiring and new programs. Instead, this absurd document details a blind cutting alternative.
Providing the usual leadership we'd expect from Washington D.C., there was no universal guidance or plan applied. Simply put, each federal agency was told to "find cuts". These cuts then need to be approved by the different Cabinet leaders. It would seem the Absolute Solution is far from.
All logical Americans agree we have a spending problem in America. The Nations leaders are addicted to debt. They've made so many party promises, they don't know how to stop. And that last statement is really why America has spiralled out of control over the last 5-6 years. The "Parties" of America have over-powered the People of America. The Citizens are no longer in control, instead party policies, promises and plans have. Whether it is "gun violence", "gay rights", "war" or something like "energy", it is no longer about what is best for America more so what is best for the Democrat or Republican party. The message to these leaders has been lost.
In an amazing turn of events, though Predicted by the First President of the United States, Parties now care more about pushing themselves than agendas of citizens. Elected officials no longer care what Citizens say, write, etc, they respond with party form letters and the same diatribe they've spewed from decades. Congressman and woman, have found ultimate shelters that they live in for decades and play by there own rules that allow them to redistrict "their peons" whenever there is a hint that voters may be swaying. Instead of being servants of the people who come for a short while to help their country, these individual - across the board nearly 100% - enter office in the middle-class and leave in the upper echelons. They reach a Pinnacle at which "there office requires" certain perks and salaries, as Rep Pelosi said. They reach a place of unaccountability to the Constitution and the People. And in order to solidify their ultimate control, they promise you the world and borrow money to make it happen. What they don't tell you is that the money is not theirs, it was your neighbors. They take from one and give to another, they make you promises on the backs of other Citizens. This is nothing more than a comfortably numb version of Slavery. Where the slave is made to feel like an indentured servant. "I get some while others get the rest" and at some point in history, the bar will even out.
That is what we are Citizens of America, those of us who pay income tax and work that is, we are modern day Indentured Slaves. We work, so they continue their work. That is all. Politicians do not look down on Citizens as compatriots but pawns - something to be moved across the board in orderly fashion, and sacrificed when necessary. We need to wake up and stop voting for Parties and begin voting for a new set of leaders Universally. WE HAVE TRIED THE PARTY SYSTEM - it failed us. The glory of the United States of America is that, unlike other lands, we do not have to stay like this. We have the ability to change it. When you're in the voting booth saying "why should I vote for this non-two-party person, they can't win" ask yourself this - "has your vote changed anythings so far?" if the answer is 'no' then what does it hurt? It is time America rejected failure. Rejected the past parties and moved forward.
