Remember the Bush billboards?

"Miss Me Yet?"

wonder how far into a Trump administration we will go before we start seeing similar billboards for Obama?

everything i am seeing go on even before Der Drumph even takes office indicates this new GOP will make a Bush Admin look like a walk in the park!!!

Social Welfare History: Why we have Entitlements in the USA

this website aims to document the history of social welfare programs and the reasoning of why they were created in the first place. it is a very comprehensive website and is growing bigger by the day.

People have forgotten the situations and reasoning of why these programs were created in the first place.

I post this so those who wish to, can educate themselves on the history of these programs and the situations that created them.

by the people, of the people, for the people

I am watching Micheal Moore's "Sicko" and I have come to the conclusion what need need here is a government "By the people, of the people, and for the people, as well as a government who is scared of the people, not a people scared of the government.

this is sickening and heart breaking to watch this. we are getting screwed in this country big time and what hospitals are doing to patients who have no money is just horrifying. I recommend everyone watch this movie from 2007 by Mr. Moore.

we need to organize and peacefully protest in Washington D.C. not in your city, but right on capitol hills front door step!!!

we need a march rivaling that of the 1960's Washington (aka: million man) march.

Remind these a$$holes that they work for the people, not the billionaires!!!

Republicans need to start worrying about and fixing the right things

Donald J. Trump and Republicans, why are you spending so much time worrying about gutting entitlements, worrying about abortion, who is in who's bed, what orientation they are, etc??

you have very high unemployment and underemployment, why not worry about bringing good paying, full time jobs offering good benefits back to the USA and training people to fill those positions?

why not worry about an infrastructure bill?

after you have fixed our infrastructure, brought back good jobs and trained people to work those jobs then you can worry about the rest, but guess what?

bring back jobs and fix our infrastructure and entitlements cuts will be a moot point because bringing back good jobs will fix that problem on it's own. so you can kill two birds with a single stone and won't crash the economy in the process!!!

after you have fixed the jobs problem and by default entitlements then you can worry about the rest which i personally think the government has no business legislating but that's an argument for another time.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/22/here-are-76-of-donald-trumps-many-campaign-promises/

go to his campaign website and see how many he has back pedaled from or outright flip flopped on

also ask yourself how much will Pence be running the show? Pence already ruined his home states economy.

WashPo #9 is my big concern and hence the petition to Trump my acquaintance created.

Also here is a speech by aodhan o riordain that might be interesting to some

Given the election results

i have decided to sell off the contents of my entire estate (Studio, Test Equipment, Model Cars and Trains, etc) and stock up on camping and survival gear.

i have this sickening feeling me and my fiance will need it in the not too distant future!!!

Ryan and Pence have some evil plans for this country and i see a second great depression on the horizon as a result.
