Control and manipulation, and more out of control spending seem to be in our Republic’s future unless Americans wake up and smell the roses, and vote out the massive spenders in our very fragile government. Which, if it weren’t for money being printed with nothing backing it, the U.S. would maybe be broke. Too many easy entitlement programs giving away billions of taxpayer dollars buy votes for more spending and controls. Where will all this spending end, if ever, or until the U.S. goes broke? Both parties are guilty of overspending, over taxation, etc.

There are only a small amount of congressmen and senators that seem to really care what happens to America. Maybe voting in term limits might slow these trends of spending. Why are there 35,000+ lobbyists in Washington? Do they, and special interests, control America?

People are always blaming liberals and conservatives for the problems, but the thing people need to consider more is what’s moral and correct, not touchy feely, phony emotions. So when people vote in 2014/2016, I hope they vote with logic and reason and are well informed. Our Republic is at stake, the U.S. and world economy is very fragile at present and it appears much of the world’s economies are near collapse. What happens if the dollar fails? If it does, much of world’s economies might fail, so it’s not really right verses left, it’s more the question between right and wrong. So vote smart, our country and the world may depend on it!
