Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and $2.00 Gas

It's that time a of year again and those seeking Public Office will astound you with their compassionate pleas for a better America for our children. The brotherhood of We the People and I'm really just like you.
Their Brooks Brother suits are traded a few months for a John Deere hat and a Carhart Jacket with a big NASCAR 24 on the back. The regular guy and Joe the Plumber are back in style. Looking for any demographic to feed and bleed votes. Black, Gay or Gray they patronize them all. Is it any wonder most will be disappointed.
The Chinese and Pharaoh's of Wall Street will be villainiesed and promises of the land of milk an honey prevail for all. Taxes will be lowered and a chicken for every pot.
Don't be fooled if you remember back to the last election the rose colored glasses were tossed aside in less than thirty days. The compassion rhetoric quickly changed when (R) Alan Simpsom declared to "sober up or sleep in the streets". They should erect a statue to Alan in his home town dump for his years of Public Service with his hands in the Treasury up to his elbows.
The election for President always overwhelms all the other candidates and correlated to the amounts the truth can be stretched. Spinning sound bites out of context creating any diversion from facts. Utopian ideals of Jobs Jobs Jobs and toss the Banksters in jail and stop importing from China and exporting industry to India. Control our borders from foreign invaders and affordable health care that cannot be cancelled or pre existing conditions. Ah yes the good ole days of Hope and Change. I must admit things have not gotten worse than the previous group. But Obama is not gettin any votes or support from me.
What we got was Employer Based Health Care that imposes jail for those who refuse to comply. The infamous legislation that regulates the citizen and ignores the Insurance piracy legalized by Obama. I don't know about you but I thought they would put insurance underwriters in jail not me. Jail is lookin better all the time.
The Bankster were not tossed in jail. Instead we rewarded the Pharaohs' of Wall Street with more TARP money highest profits ever and obscene bonuses for the richest Americans. The double standard of 2big2fail was validated in Dodd-Frank.
The notion the Stock Market must precede any recovery is based upon an industrialized economy we don't have. We saved Fiat and GM when the World Wide Web has done more for the USA than the Atomic Bomb. The money spent on defense is half our budget. The WEB conquered middle east dictators for pennies what we spend on Military. Truth is the weapon that brought down the USSR. Propaganda failed.
Oh, the Jobs Jobs Jobs and stop importing goods and exporting industry? That's still on the back burner with raising taxes on those who pay no taxes. I'm talking about the sacred cows of the GOP now. I know poor people don't pay taxes either and shouldn't. All GOP roads lead to greed. The hypocrite conservatives who scream about welfare and entitlement. The same party who invented 2big2fail and handed out Corporate Welfare to Wall Street Raiders. That dog won't hunt anymore. They abhor the misfortunes of the sick and handicapped who need a prescription or $2oo dollar mobility scooter as they support the scoundrel carpetbagger that feeds off his handicapped captured customers charging $4500. The scooter and prescriptions over priced to the Treasury. Who's cheating whom I ask you?
Is it the poor guy who got a free $200. dollar scooter or the man who charged us $4300. profit?
Neither Party has the answer because neither party will recognize that the world has changed and economic policies applied a hundred years ago will not work for the new millennium. We need radical changes in our national business models. These changes will usher in a new political ideology. Supply Side Economics failed and so has Macroeconomics. So why why do we keep returning to the same poisons. That well is dry, give up but, don't give in. My Grandfather made a good living cutting Oak Railroad Ties and selling coal to the Railroads. I doubt there's money in it today.
The answer won't be found in $2.00 gas to power your Oldsmobile. $2.00 dolar gas won't solve your problem, $2.00 gas will delay any gain and only extend the pain. Let me just guess and say the plan for obtaining $2.00 gas is to give money or more tax loopholes to giant oil companies so they can reinvest, finding new supplies of crude. With vast supplies the demand and pump price will fall. It's another fairytale from Reganomics. Reagonomics always fails and trumped by Corporate Greed. Take what you can get: give nuthin back, Jack.
The answer is in new energy and transportation. Moving away from the congested crime of cities and corporate America to the Information Highway that connects the power of an equal world not a single nation. The answer is: when will we demand equal again?
