I was a Democrat until about 10 years ago when I decided neither party put our interest before the party’s interest. I became an independent. I did this because neither is following the basic principles of humanity. The Republican Party favors the high rollers, company or individual. The Democratic Party favors the oppressed and working middle class which is good if it is not over done. People should work if they are able, the Democratic Party fights over items that has nothing to do with governing.
Main reason I became independent is abortion. Basic principle that cover this is when a child is born in the US, it is a citizen of the US. So we killed a citizen because someone does not know how to manage birth control. We didn’t kill a child, but we killed million of them.
Our congress solved the drug problem by putting the users in jail.
Our congress solved the mentally ill problem by ignoring the possibility treatment.
Our congress solved the gang problem by keeping the minimum wage so low a young person felt the gangs would help them more than the government would.
Our congress let our nation’s debt rise to an amounthigher than we could pay if a demand was made.
Our congress let the military expenditure get total out of control approving of cost plus contracts for item we don’t need.
Our congress approved the redirection of the Social Security Lock Box to finance the start of our interstate system.
There are many other examples, but this is why we need to set term limits and do there things that we reign in the power struggle.
All of the bills passed today are passed to the benefit of congress members.
