Both the Republicans and Democrats are 'in favor' of:
1-continuing the Bush Jr. tax cuts for the benefit mainly of the already SUPER RICH. The lie that 'it helps all of us' has been proven, resoundingly.
2-neither party is 'in favor' of a massive American jobs program to fix our CRUMBLING NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. Save the risky and illegal banks, making a profit off pushing our Nation to the brink of financial ruin. Screw the new home owners with 'a.r.m.s' !
3-neither party is 'in favor' of doing the least to save Social Security by taking the tax cap off high salaries. Shameful,,,
4-neither party is 'for' doing a major federal tax overhaul, tho most Americans agree it is long ,decades, overdue. There are way too many loopholes and 'rifle shots' exemptions to one special company,at the time, or person. It is a National disgrace !!
5-Both parties, ("no work,let's just party") are for continuing the middle east wars we Americans can not afford ,in dollars or blood. We are making more terrorists than we are killing. Does anyone believe giving corrupt dictator in Egypt over a $Billion/yr for 30 years(70$B!!?), in military weapons, did the USA any good? Or Israel? How much more money are we counter-productive wasting in 'foreign aid' all over the world?
6-Both parties are not interested in securing the Mexican border and doing much more to prevent the drug gangs from controlling the streets in towns like Fresno, Ca.
7-both parties are dragging their feet and ignoring the needed massive clean-up effort needed in San Francisco Bay, not just the NYC Hudson River and the Chesapeake Bay.
8-both parties are going to allow one mine, the Pebble, to ruin most of the Alaskan salmon fishing industry North of the Aleutians.
9-both parties are going to allow the continuation of Bush Jr.'s serious national education program failure called "no child left behind". Ask most teachers and they hate it. Yet both parties are allowing public K-12 school administrators, and public college administrators, to STEAL with bloated salaries and 'golden parachutes' and 'golden handshakes', with no guilt in this blatant stealing from the public.
10-both parties are satisfied with a new National health plan, but no public option. While our Senators and Representatives enjoy better health care than our soldiers and veterans !!
11- both are satisfied with not getting more solar panels on house roofs and many more windmills all over the flat windy boring middle of the country.
12-both parties are satisfied with letting the small cell phone companies determine which cell phones are available, unlike Australia and other educated, civilized, advanced countries.
How we pay and pay to pander special treatment on certain companies!!
13-both parties are o.k. with the current high level of payroll theft by companies, illegally, in the USA. There is even a book about it, yet the Dept. of Labor is sooo careless !!
14-both parties don't care about the loss of the free time tick on land line phones. The correct time ,obviously, in not important here in the USA.
15-both parties are comfortable with weakening instead of strengthening the CLEAN AIR WATER LAND REGULATIONS.
16-Even after the biggest enviro disaster, since 3Mile Island and Love Canal and Silicon Valley ground water massive toxic broad area pollution, of THE GULF OIL SPILL,,,We still have the Nixon oil industry limited liability of a measly $75M. Still? Congress is being irresponsible, as USUAL !!
17-And the oil industry is STILL getting something like a $15B /year tax break. Why, oh why !! (congress is owned,lock stock and barrel , by campaign contributors)(the usa desperately needs public funding of all state and national and judicial elections.)
18-All this current 'talk' about 'fixing the budget',,, but neither party will cut the fat-cats FARMER'S SUBSIDIES amounting to yearly Billions,,,
19-neither party is interested ,really, in clean honest food supply chain. Why is it so hard to find the "use by date" on most processed products? (campaign contributions from corporations trump the nation's interests)
20-neither party is moving fast enough on digitizing medical records and improving airplane traffic safety with a GPS-based system proposed for years,,,(there is 'snail-mail' and,,,'glacial'ly slow congress,,,)
21-There is a majority against continuing the middle eastern wars, yet both parties seem to want to drag this bloodbath and $B wasteful war on indefinitely. We, the U.S. military, can not even stop the Somali pirates !! Rotate the admirals monthly until we find one who works !! Maybe this failure shows how badly we need to get out completely.
22-We are a global disgrace with our 'same old cold war' policy toward Cuba and keeping a unwelcome military base/jail there. Both parties don't seem to mind,,,
23-It is one thing to allow in a democratic republic the rich to get too rich,,, and pass laws against progressive taxation from both parties. But it is quite another thing to allow 'white collar crime' on Wall Street and across America !! There is a man who had been found 'guilty' of financial fraud, but is free and out on ,like, $10,000 bail, after STEALING MILLIONS !! This is what is sooo wrong about the USA currently; the lucky and successful and fortunate and hard working multi-millionaires do not have to pay their fare share of taxes. (See terrible thick sick federal tax code, above)
24-The newspapers have had lots of stories lately how rape in the U.S. Military is in the many thousands per year, usually senior male officers raping junior female enlisteds. Even at the U.S. Military schools,,, You might have thought / hope that at least That would "change" with the new Democrat President. I am so ashamed ,,, as an American , and Honorable Discharge veteran.
No wonder they are so comfortable together !! Where oh where is the proud oratory and DEBATE of a Lincoln ? Lost in dirty back room deals ,,,
