FED UP



No!  I can’t bear this.  First they shut down the government, causing unnecessary pain & suffering to innocent people, but not to the congressmen who made it happen.  

Now they’re taking away 5% of the food stamps that should be used for poor families to buy milk for children, and feed hungry people.  So many families have lost their homes while Jamie Dimon, who turned their suffering into cash, dines at the Ritz.  Next they’ll be tearing down the blackboards & cutting down class hours in schools.

Do we live in a dictatorship, where we are at the mercy of the leaders?  Is this North Korea?  What happened to this country?  It’s Karl Marx all over again: thesis and antitheses; the reaction to the action of electing a man who gave us hope – for a few minutes, anyway.  

Now we feel hopeless.  Why do we have hungry children in America?  Why should some people’s children get better health care in this country than others?  Or Education?  Whatever the reason, it’s wrong.  Every child should get the best health care money can buy. Period.  

If my grandparents saw what’s happening here they wouldn’t believe it.  

The money cut from the budget of our government should come out of defense spending - the military industrial complex, and those masters of war. Moreover, I think all political lobbyists should be immediately fired & retrained as social workers, and I would outlaw all political contributions.  Period.  They don’t need money, they need brains.

I know nobody reads this blog but that's too bad.
