Newoldstock, that is exactly why we, meaning the middle class American people, are so frustrated in our govt.
It seems like no matter who is in office, we are forgotten.
The politicians got into office with this plan or process. They get there and they find out the system of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Get richer as well as their special interest groups.
The poor and those supported by the "govt" are just along for the ride. There is no light at the end of the tunnel or if there is, it is very dim.
The, already, rich continue to get richer. Not a care, as long as the boat is in the water and the landscape man has the yard looking nice.
Now us middle class folks, who have attempted to live the American fream continue on a downward trend, unless some unforseen fortune lands on our laps. The promise of work hard, get married, have a couple of kids, and live happally everafter is becomming like the poor. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting dimmer.
If we don't get off our asses and hold our govt officials accountable, we are in deep,deep manure.
