Dan: There ain't no free lunch. Somebody will pay regardless of what the plan is. This is not an endorsemetn of McCain's plan nor is it a rejection of his plan but the bottom line is that somebody has to pay. Little joe

The Big Lie About Change by Jim Quinn The big lie about change is that neither party wants to change anything. The Democrats and Republicans love their power, influence, and wealth. The two parties always agree when it involves tax rebates and pork projects for their constituents. They have no problem spending our grandchildren’s money to get re-elected in November. No politician is willing to tell the American people the blunt truth that we have an epic financial crisis that must be addressed in the next 10 years. The media spends weeks discussing lipstick, bulldogs, pigs, and hockey moms. We are wasting precious time. Our society is dominated by present self-interest to the detriment of the best interests of our future generations. We need leaders who are willing to speak the truth and convince the country to change course before it is too late. Our fiscal crisis is complex, multi-faceted and dangerous to our long-term future. The major issues that we need to confront include the current fiscal situation, the colossal amount of unfunded liabilities that our politicians have obligated us to pay, our dependence on foreign oil, our failing education system, and a dearth of leadership and political courage. To successfully solve these issues we need to ignore political affiliations and choose the best solutions. Both candidates promise tax cuts, when the United States has no money. We are broke. The money that our politician leaders will use for tax cuts or new government programs will be borrowed from China and Saudi Arabia, with the bill being passed on to future generations. By far, the greatest challenge that we must overcome is the entrenched ruling elite that run this country. The ruling elite includes the crooked politicians in Washington, the lifetime bureaucrats who run the various governmental agencies, the paid lobbyists who write the laws for Congress, obscenely overpaid short-term profit-driven corporate CEOs, media conglomerates, and the privileged Wall Street aristocracy. These privileged few are surrounded by leeches and parasites (media consultants, pollsters, spin artists, and PR agencies) that attack anyone who threatens their position of power. The only way to overturn their comfortable world is an uprising among the masses. Ron Paul, the only candidate during the Presidential primaries to tell the American people the truth, has articulated the 1st step in taking this country back from the entrenched political establishment: "Pretending that a true difference exists between the two major candidates is a charade of great proportion. Many who help to perpetuate this myth are frequently unaware of what they are doing and believe that significant differences actually do exist. Indeed, on small points there is the appearance of a difference. The real issues, however, are buried in a barrage of miscellaneous nonsense and endless pontifications by robotic pundits hired to perpetuate the myth of a campaign of substance. The truth is that our two-party system offers no real choice. The real goal of the campaign is to distract people from considering the real issues. Those candidates who represent actual change or disagreement with the status quo are held in check by the two major parties in power, making it very difficult to compete in the pretend democratic process. This is done by making it difficult for third-party candidates to get on the ballots, enter into the debates, raise money, avoid being marginalized, or get fair or actual coverage." The message that needs to be sent is a rejection of the two-party system. On November 4, 2008 vote for the 3rd-party candidate of your choice. Send a message to the ruling elite. September 16, 2008
