Advertisements [?]
People have supposedly said they want a "totally different" kind of president. Well it can't stop there. We have a totalitarian congress that allows little, if any real debate/discussion/thought about the bills they pass or don't pass.

The next president would hopefully be strong enough to suggest and GET a total overhaul of how our congress works. (within the Constitution, of course)..


Even the most carefree of families has a "family audit" from time to time. In a family , if one kid never gets what they need, and the other kid gets stuff they don't even ask for or need, there is going to be family strife. At some point in time, the family needs to sit down and explain why , or get their priorities in order. Congress needs a thorough going-over. If there are 13 continuing bills each session, those need to be examined with a microscope to cut out the excess and pork and comfy little loopholes. The US needs to go on a pork-free diet, and the public would buy into it, if it was fair and across the board. I have the sneaky feeling, that once the excess and lobbyist-paybacks were cut out, there would be money enough to get bridges built, roads fixed, levees strengthened.

Whoever gets elected, they need to go before the people and say that things are going to get FIXED , and attention to detail will be a hallmark of the new administration.


Whether the offenders are republican or democratic, they need to be exposed. Every administration says" they are coming to town to clean house, and yet all that involves is sweeping all the dirt under the rug, and putting the brooms away for at least 3 1/2 years.

The ideal president would be a cross between Eisenhower and Truman, but more than likely we will end up with just another rich dilettante who will promise us roses, and deliver only the thorns.
