What is a voter to do?
Our choice this year seems to be between
Democrats, who
clearly intend to do nothing about cutting spending and beginning to reduce the
deficit, who have an unrealistic faith in the ability of government to fix
anything, who are unwilling to consider cutting entitlement programs even
though they are bankrupting the country, and who would dearly love to evolve America
to a European model cradle-to-grave government-controlled society
(notwithstanding how those societies in Europe are even now in the process of
imploding from their ballooning social program costs),
and
Republicans, who are
locked into an irrational absolutist mentality about not raising taxes to help
reduce the deficit, who have an unrealistic faith in free market forces to fix
anything, who are unwilling to consider cutting military spending even though we
already spend more on our military than the next 20 nations combined, and who
are full of loony, small-minded fundamentalist religious beliefs that they
would like to foist on everyone else.
Do I exaggerate? I wish
I did, but in truth that is about what I see across the political landscape
this year.
