Hire the Homeless

From the Secret Service to Local Police departments, the contempt shown to the public from the police comes from the top down.
Congress itself is showing contemptible actions in the blatant lies and stupid interference in foreign policy. Why they want to continue the wars, hate and lies must be a question each has to face themselves.
For the people of congress to show such contempt, and then to condemn the actions of the people that are directly under their influence is hypocritical to say t;he least, and smacks of treason.
Congressmen should do their jobs and let Senators and Presidents do theirs,
So far, for the last several decades, the only time Congress has represented the people for the good of the people is when we finally got healthcare. It isn't perfect, but infinitely better than what we had.
Now that we have Republicans back, by hook or crook, they want to steal the healthcare of millions of poor people.
Why would they care? Their healthcare is publicly subsidized, and the best there is - ie paid for by us and better than any you or I would get even with ACA.
My personal belief is we should have universal health care, like every other civilized nation in the world, but Obamacare is much better than none.
And, unlike Congress who definitely does not care, Obama does.
More to the subject, when Congress shows disrespect towards our very essence of governing, why should the police, or secret service for that matter, not take a cue from them and be the bullies and thugs that Republicans have become in the past six years?
They have no fallout, neither the secret service the police or politicians. No matter how the come by their jobs, lying and cheating being the style of the moment, it would seem to be impossible to fire a cop or a republican. Just like sand, they keep shifting around and sliding through. Not like sand, tho. More like slime.
If they hate our government so much they want to destroy it, what makes them different from terrorists?
If they hate our people so much they want to jail, beat or kill us all, what makes them different from any other terrorists?
Why do Republicans hate poor people so much, many of their base are dirt poor. If you live in a long term Republican controlled state, chances are you are one of them.
Why are you voting for the very people who took your jobs, your homes, threw you on the street, then vilified you for being broke and homeless, Who spit on you for being dirty when you have no water to wash with. Who laugh at you and set upon you because you are hungry and tired and have no place to sleep.
The homeless would be much better at running the country. Any homeless. Just start rounding up, what, 6 or 7 hundred or so, make them congresspeople and senators, and replace the ones we have. They certainly could do no worse, and 10 to 1 they would do a much better job.
I can hear you now,"What about the mentally ill on the streets?"
What about the mentally ill in our government?
Another objection "What about the drunks and drug addicts on the streets?"
Again, what about the drunks and drug addicts in our government?
"But they wouldn't know what they were doing!"
You would be surprised at how intelligent homeless people are. And, look at the people you assume know what they are doing. The politicians we have in now are completely clueless, or completely corrupt, take your choice.
Still believe homeless would do a better job.
If not, vote them out in 6 years, and put in a new batch. Lord knows, we probably won't run out.
If we do, because of the policies of the homeless, we can always put politicians back in,

I'm sure in no time at all we would have homeless people to put back into government.

So Many, So Much, So Few

Having been a watcher of the news media, both online and on television, for the last few years, I have come to realize there are such a lot of issues in our country, it is sort of difficult to settle to writing about just one.
Even for a single blog, one issue invariably evolves, or devolves into another, and another.
For instance, in Arizona we have an unbalanced young American who took potshots at a Democratic gathering, around the same time, we have a non profit organization in California that is making real progress treating the same type of illness this person had.
Congrats to the California initiative to help our young people.
Now, for the ironic, mind boggle.

In Arizona, the Republican Governor wants to cut their medical care so much that several dozens of people cannot receive transplants. In effect, the Republican led government of Arizona is murdering these people.

At the same time, in California, the government wants to raid the fund that is set up for the non profit group that is actually doing a great job helping people cope with the illnesses that society has caused.

What are we to gather from this? What thought processes are going on here?

Can you see where these facts might just get carried on out to their logical conclusion.

If we carry on with the Arizona issue, the young, ill man will at a very minimum be in the institution of prison for the rest of his life. Because of a treatable illness. Will he get any treatment there? Only the very minimal, if any at all. Is our system broken? What do you think?


Should we decide to carry out the California issue, the funding will be raided to pay for the Republican led deficit of the last decades. With the funding cut, the non profit will not be able to treat as many young people. When fewer young people are treated for this very common illness, the likelihood of an incident such as the one that happened in Arizona is more likely to occur.

This is the vein in which we have run the last couple of decades of republican rule. Is this how we wish to continue?
Do we want our children frightened out of their minds? With no one to turn to? So afraid their subconscious creates another person within them to try and deal with the perceived fears of the world? Frightened for their lives, their health, their families, their sanity?

We have been told “ Be afraid, be very afraid” for so long, our children must be absorbing the message in utero.

What are we doing?

What happened to “ The only thing to fear …is FEAR itself!”

What has happened to America?
It boggles the mind.

Ant this is just one of the many, many topics in just one day. With all that is happening in this world, guess it will take more than one post a day. Maybe I will figure out how to tweet on tweeter, then I can float suggestions/comments as I go.
