It is reported that our nation has a NINETEEN TRILLION DOLLAR national debt.. that figures out to abt $60,000 for every man, woman, child. Since the USA is a country “for/by the people” that means that “we the people” really owes this debt.
It is reported that 47% of the households pays no Federal Income Taxes. Which suggests that there is no way that they could begin to contribute to paying off their share of the debt.
Some claim to just “take it from the rich”, but when you do the math… if you confiscated ALL THE ASSETS of millionaires, billionaires and it would pay MAYBE 10% of that national debt.
During the last 8 yrs.. our national debt has increased about 10 trillion. Since during that time frame there have been two year periods where each party has been in the majority.. so both parties are equally at fault.
Is the American electorate so uninformed that we just keep sending the same bozos back to Congress and State legislatures? 45% of the eligible voters DID NOT VOTE in the last Presidential election.
Those that are paying attention, has seen just how much there is an “establishment” within Congress and many within that establishment are just not happy that one of theirs is not the “choice of the people” . Which would strongly suggests that the “establishment” is admitting that they have no intention of representing their constituents.
We are seeing the reporting of more and more OD deaths from Fentanyl… which we/everyone knows is coming from Mexico and China. So why hasn’t increased manpower being devoted to preventing this illegal drug getting to the streets ? So the Congress, state legislatures and others are passing laws that makes Narcan/Naloxone to be OTC… “save the addict” and at the same time passing laws that are harming the chronic pain community and causing all too many to commit suicide because they have no other solution to their unrelenting chronic pain.
We have “crazies” that are killing our cops in our country and innocent people in other countries… and seems to be escalating. Apparently in the last 24 hrs someone sent out a tweet that police needs to “clean house” of “bad cops”.. and we have all worked in businesses where there are one or more people that are not part of the team and doesn’t follow the rules. They criticized the tweet, shouldn’t the police … police themselves and getting rid of cops that are not mentally/psychologically suitable to be a cop ?
There is no chance of having any changes in how those in the chronic pain community are treated unless we have a dramatic change in the member of the House and Senate. Otherwise the ingrained “establishment” will continue on the path they have been on for some time. They will continue to try and “save the addict” while the DEA continues to focus on their war on pts and prescribers… while Meth, Fentanyl, Heroin and other illegal drugs keep flooding the country thru our open borders.

This November is huge in slowing the downhill spiral. If things stay the same in November, the hill gets steeper and the downhill run starts moving faster. By kicking out all those who are running for re-election it will at least give us a set of fresh brakes to help slow that roll.
