Once again, an election is over and once again, nothing will change. Neither Truth or Justice was an issue and hasn’t been for much of American history.
The American people have lost again and may not realize it until the national bank fails colossally. Be aware, it will!
Since 1960 our elected leaders have pushed the national debt upward 84 times, by the Republican Party 52 times and by the Democratic Party 32 times, to over 20 trillion dollars. This is unsustainable and in the near future will cause another economic crash like no other before it.
So, all you Republicans cheering that you have retained the power of the U.S. Senate and all you Democrats cheering control of the U.S. House, your elation for winning will soon be over.
Until elected officials realize that their only job is to protect the American citizens, their freedoms to life, liberty and property and not to create laws which take wealth from some to placate others, nothing will ever come close to Truth or Justice.
