“Waiting for Fictitious Heroes”

President Obama unveiled his 2012 budget plan to cut wasteful spending from the nation’s budget by more than a trillion dollars. Some of the cuts include:

• LIHEAP
• Pell Grants
• AmeriCorps

and other social service programs that assist middle class, working poor, and poor Americans. For the record, I completely disagree to any cuts to these excellent programs.

On the other side of the stale and moldy two-party political system, the Tea/Republican Party propose massive cuts from de-funding PBS, NPR, historically African American colleges and universities, the Department of Education, the IRS and the EPA just to name a few.

For the record, I support President Obama because I know he didn’t create this mess. Oh no! This debacle was procreated under President Ronald Reagan, and now Mr. Obama is attempting to fix this crisis, and he must now perform a much needed financial vasectomy to the national budget.

What we need now more than ever is an effective plan implemented to reverse the nation’s current trend because corporations, lobbyists, corrupt Supreme Courts Justices, weak, vacillating, and corrupt elected officials are taking America down a path that will place us in the history books right in front of the Roman Empire as a once great, empathetic and powerful nation that was destroyed by its greed, apathy and corruption.

We must also stop blaming each other for the political and social calamities that have enveloped the nation. You know what I’m talking about. Liberals blame Democrats, Democrats blame Progressives, Progressives blame Liberals, and this vicious cycle repeats itself. Stop! Why can’t we find a common goal(s) to focus and stay on message? We need to address our decimated infrastructure by:

• Ending Poverty
• Ending Homelessness
• Improving our Education System
• Protect the Environment and Social Security
• Ensure that “every” American has affordable and effective
healthcare
• Ending our involvement in wars around the world.
• Finance Reform

I thought that’s what Liberals, Independents, Democrats, and Progressives wanted for the Republic and its citizenry.

Conversely, we must stop waiting for Superman and/or any of the other fictitious superheroes to help us and instead be heroes of our own because the Republic is depending on us and our future is riding on it.


POWER TO THE GREAT CITIZENS OF WISCONSIN!
