Quote from Lucrum:

A recurring theme, for anyone who has stopped to think about the origin of most our problems.

Presidential elections are nearly irrelevant. Congress is and has been out of control for decades. Without a clean sweep in congress, nothing will change.

This is why I have walter4 on ignore. He's not too bright.

Social Security - Signed into law by Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Democrat

Medicare - Signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson - Democrat

Federal Welfare in U.S. - Started under Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Democrat

Food Stamp Program - Started under Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Democrat

I'm for the Food Stamps and Federal Welfare regardless of our budget situation...

Part of the fix...

Cut the air force in half and scrap the F 35. It's not living up to expectations anyway.

Cut the navy in half as well...

Leave the army alone and hire more soldiers.... No new equipment and prepare for much higher casualty rates.

No more foreign adventures.

SS and Medicare also need to be fixed drastically but I have no idea how to cut the waste.

The only way to get $16,000,000,000,000 in the hole is to spend more than you take in.

I agree. I will not vote for a single incumbent in November, NOT one.
If the only choice is a democrat then that's who I'll vote for.
Otherwise it's independents/libertarians right down the line.
Oh and of course ABO, naturally.
