As we close out 2011 and begin a new year there will be some new challenges. We are in the middle of an election year where we may be facing the biggest decision of our lives as we enter the General Election in November 2012. Will we end up with another four years of higher taxes, more government spending, increase deficits, and a debt that may well exceed $16 Trillion by election day. Of course, there is no guarantee that whichever republican is nominated and will replace the current president there will be anything different. We can only hope and pray that if there is a change that a new day will begin in the way the federal government is conducted.
I recently read the the eight hour filibuster (it is also a book entitled THE SPEECH) by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont where he blamed everything on the greed of corporate America, as well as the republicans. For those who do not know the Senator, he is listed as an Independent, but admits that he is a Progressive, and his record shows that he votes mostly with the liberal left in the Senate. After reading the speech I sent him a letter and stated that he could help cure all his concerns with eight changes and amendments to our Constitution, which are all possible IF our representative were actually interested in Constitutional governmen, rather than being re-elect by bribing us with earmarks, stimulus and tax holidays that do zero to solve the unemployment problem. In the next BLOG I will share these eight changes with you.
Until next time, I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true and that 2012 will be the happiest ever.
