We are wrapping up two weeks of American political
presentations.
Both run by outfits that simply get to say/present/communicate
in many different ways their view of themselves and their top people and their
always important and notable accomplishments and other such things (blah-blah-
blah.)
These outfits focus on what they want to promote. These outfits do not focus on what they have done
or not done or simply done poorly. No such
things happen when the outfits get to run the show and produce the information
provided.
Here are a few simple examples:
·
America’s debt. We actually don’t really know what is America’s
total debt? We have no clue. We do know that the federal government debt
number accumulated and reported has risen phenomenally over the last 20 years
or so. When one thinks about it; one
simply knows that our federal government is lost and is simply unconcerned about
America’s future.
·
Our federal government says
they owe somewhere around TWENTY TRILLON DOLLARS. They also tell us that after 200 years of
government including TWO WORLD WARS and MAJOR DEPRESSIONS/RECESSIONS as well as
BUILDING A HIGHWAY SYSTEM and generally CREATING A STRONG DEMOCRACY and, of
course, A FEW OTHER THINGS – the year 1976 (200 years after the USA was
created) this debt amount owed was about $620 billion and back then we had a population
of about 218 million folks (and kids) so each person was on the hook for about
$2,844.00.
·
What is that number if you
divide the current TWENTY TRILLION by the 320 million current population? It’s about $62,500.00 per woman, man and child.
·
Yep, for 200 years America was
run by people (we think they were human beings) who faced a lot of big time,
major situations on top of simply running and building the top country in the
world and the total debt that each American was on the hook for was pretty darn
minimal.
·
Yet, somehow, in the next
40 years (actually most of it came in the last 16 years or so) that $2,800.00
per American did not just double or triple – nope, it increased by about 2,200
percent.
·
The clown president who
started it spent an hour or so last night telling us what a great person his
wonderful wife is. She has been active
in politics and other forms of US governmental activities during the last 20
years or so of this period and she thinks she should get the top job.
GO
FIGURE.
Oh,
by the way, the yapper from last night, of course, never mentioned any of this nor
did he mention that he and wifey-poo have accumulated a ton of money in their
bank account(s) with never creating jobs or selling one product or service. Neither seems to grasp the necessity, much
less value, of this activity.
Yet
they and their close associates keep telling us every minute of every hour of
every day how her opponent (the other guy) has done such a nasty, terrible job
in his various business activities. We
simply don’t know what basis they have to criticize someone for doing something
they never even tried.
There
is something very badly wrong with this scene much less those who have signed
on to it; support it; want it to continue.
