If you want to start a fire.  You need a match to light.  Let's face it, wars are profitable.  That's why the US likes to fight them.  If you think our govt cares about the American people or the economy you must be daft.  Our congressmen are largely bought and paid for by big corporations.  For them it's all about profits for their true constituents.

If they really cared about the people, they would enact a single payer plan, it's cheaper, covers everybody and includes cost containment with no pre-existing claims issues.

If they really cared about the people, they would stop adventurous illegal wars and focus on spending money to build up our infrastructure with high speed rail, solar mirror power plants, modern integrated green cities and create good manufacturing jobs.

Instead they create phantom conflicts to keep everybody infighting and never accomplish anything. The Becks, Limbaughs and Jones are more interested in frightening people to divide them, to make them fight than in helping people to make America stronger.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
