Republican Irony

We have a major issue in the Republican Party right now and it showed it's true colors this week.  The Speaker of the House John Boehner after saying that he would allow the American people to review the deal before voting on it lied to the American people in Nancy Pelosi style politics.  It was another example of late night politics when most people are either sleeping or doing something else like watching football or evening television.  This is becoming the norm in politics now in The United States of America.

The Fiscal Cliff vote included 151 Republicans voting for it and 85 voting against it, but that is just the beginning.  In order to prevent the Speaker of the House from being Nancy Pelosi, we know the Democrats in the House would vote for her solid, a majority of Republicans stuck with the same ole John Boehner.  We got a raw deal in this deal and of course there was pork spending in it.  Why wouldn't there be right?  Put it to a vote just minutes after it is completed so they needed to pass it last minute to prevent a supposed meltdown of our economy.  Just another scare tactic.

Kicking the can down the road is not the solution to fix our nation, but it is the way for these politicians to keep themselves in power.  Once you realize that one day this house of cards will fall and the soon we fix it the better off we will be.  I am realist and see us spending trillions on social programs and other nation's military welfare and we have nothing to show for it.  Just millions more being added to the role of welfare state and our politicians are allowing it rather than stopping it.

Welfare abuse all around us and no one from either parties leadership coming out to admit it.  They keep feeding the sheep more lies and more money to keep quiet.  They are economic slaves and they are alright with it as long as they are paid off.  The economic house of cards it going to fall sooner or later because running up over $3 billion in new debt a day over a $1 trillion in new debt a year and that is in a year!  How can anyone in their right mind not see that is unsustainable?  Apparently we have millions of Americans from all economic classes, races, sexes, and religions simply do not understand there is a problem.  I hope and pray that there will be an awakening of either a new party that represents the American Dream or common sense for that matter.

Common Sense

Common sense is one of those things that is slowing becoming extinct in our society.  Once something that was used very widely in society has almost been exterminated by the government that continues to acquire power over the citizens of our great nation.

Common sense would say if I want to accumulate wealth and become financially independent I would need to make common sense decisions in my life so I can make money.  Unfortunately, common sense is not rewarded, but rather discouraged by an out of control nanny welfare state mentality in our state and nation's capitol.  You ask why is common sense dying off much like work ethic in our nation right?

Well let's look at our nation in terms of people having children they cannot support.  First, you would think "hey I can't afford kids so I better be careful."  Wrong!  Our government has created a system of giveaways for those that chose not to use common sense.  For example, let's look at W.I.C. which is government program to help mother's provide basic food for their children.  Well common sense would say in this situation if you can't even afford the basic foods and the government has to tell you what to buy then common sense is not something that is widely used in this situation.

Second, if you can't afford children you would think you would use some sort of birth control or protection in order to prevent a pregnancy that may occur because pregnancy and children occur from sex.  Unfortunately, once again people point at Planned Parenthood to help with this gap in our society that cannot use common sense, but as we can see more unwed mothers and more children in the government system.  If we continue to allow the government to be the provider and a "role model" for our children the welfare state will continue to spread and grow.

Finally, common sense if dying because we the American people are allowing it to die.  Once upon a time we would call out people that made judgement calls that were not good and either help them in our local community or get them the help they need to get back on their feet.  The American people have ignored what is going on around us and now we have an ever expanding welfare nanny state government the continues to take from the producers in order to comfort those that do not use common sense because our government steps into that role of a provider.  Once you get hooked on government handouts it then can become a generational problem.  People that grow up with it see it as a common occurrence and then get into a cycle.  The cycle of common sense not being used must stop.  It is up to all of us to make that happen.
