Can You Explain!!

America, It's once again a political season, and all of the back biting , clawing and misinformation has begun. I have just one question.! Why are Politicians fighting and pulling out all the stops by raising hundreds of millions of dollars to spend in order to get a position that pays considerable less per year?!!, Why not take those funds and pay down the deficit!!, hell by using those funds to help balance the budget most people would not be suffering like they are by loosing there normal way of life I mean com on!!! Why is it, that these same politicians who are consistently cutting the budget causing Teacher, Policemen and Fire fighters to loose there jobs, find it necessary to have a free for all spending spree to get into office!!? I'll tell you why America, it's so the special interest and cooperate America can push their own agenda onto the people of this great nation. If the concern of the people is really whats important, maybe we as a people should vote to halt all or at least most of the outside soft money that is funneled too the politicians oops!! the supreme court has reopen that flood gate I forgot!!! In my state, people are standing in long lines to get a handout from food banks and other local support systems. I'm sure it is like that throughout the nation. Our Governor however, has a budget to maintain his lawn at the Governor's mansion that is larger than what most people earn on there jobs, there is something inherently wrong with that America. I said all of this to point out that this time around don't be swayed by sound bites or by this group or that group, get involved do your home work and vote in this election both locally and otherwise to improve America's future not to revert backwards. I'm just saying!
