Rethinking the Unsustainable Democratic Party Before It Implodes Considered

Sometimes, I just laugh when I listen to left leaning political pundits on the cable TV news stations tell us that the Republican Party is broken in half and can't get its act together. It is very interesting to listen to them give advice to the Republicans and GOP on how they should run their affairs, specifically how they should change and meld themselves to what the Democratic Party does and what the socialists want of this nation in the future. I see it completely differently, and I'd like to explain that to you if I might.

You see, I think it's time that the Democratic Party rethinks its platform before it implodes. Socialism doesn't work, and the Democratic Party is promoting much of the socialist agenda in every sense of the word. There will be no good outcome of what they are doing today, in our future. We will be morally and economically bankrupt and so politically correct that we can't even solve the problems we created. It is indeed the Democratic Party which is unsustainable, and needs complete reworking. If it doesn't, and it thinks it can continue this unrealistic utopian agenda it will surely fail.

Currently, the Democrats under the leadership of the Obama Administration are spending nearly $1 trillion per year more than what the federal government takes in. They keep telling us about unsustainability at every turn, they keep telling us what we must do, and that they have the answer, that they can solve the problem, and they request to spend more money. Unfortunately, all the money they've spent already hasn't worked and it's just cost us more in debt. The unemployment problem is still out of control, the debt is now out of control, and they are practicing the definition of insanity;

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

What they've done has not worked, and they've made things much worse. It's time for a little bit of fiscal responsibility, and to throw away the linguistic charts of political correctness, and start getting down to business. This fake class warfare nonsense is ridiculous. Stealing money from one group of people and giving it to another is still stealing, it's not right, and it's not fair for the majority to take wealth from the minority and duly give it to themselves.

It does not foster hard work ethic, strength of character, nor self-esteem. It's wrong for America, and inherently everyone knows it, but they still stand with their hands out, and duly vote for the next podium pushing politicians that make such promises. Money doesn't grow on trees, and you can't have something for nothing, and very soon the American people are going to fully comprehend exactly how much $1 trillion actually is. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

Underhanded Politics In Presidential Elections Considered - Case Study

We have rules in our society for corporations which state that you cannot lay someone off unless you give them a 60 day notice (Warren Act) that you might lay them off in advance. This allows them to make changes in their life, perhaps get their finances in order, or even look for a new job. Most workers applaud this new rule because it helps them from an unexpected layoff. Those are the rules, and every corporation must follow them.

Recently, there was a company which was getting ready to issue the 60 day notices and they were a defense contractor. The automatic cuts to the Pentagon budget were approaching very quickly and the Republicans and Democrats had made no effort to stop it. The defense company had no choice but to issue the layoff notices, fearing that it would have to drastically cut its workforce if the government was to stop buying their products and services.

There was an interesting article in the Business Journal Newspaper on September 28, 2012. And another one in Dark Government online the same day titled; "Obama Administration Asking Contractors Again, 'Don't Issue Layoff Notices'," which stated;

"The Obama administration issued new guidance intended for defense contractors Friday afternoon, reiterating the administration's position that the companies should not be issuing layoff notices over sequestration. The Labor Department issued guidance in July saying it would be "inappropriate" for contractors to issue notices of potential layoffs tied to sequestration cuts."

A few days later, the Obama Administration and their lawyers guaranteed the defense contractor that they would give them a waiver to the 60 day layoff notice rule, and pay any workers laid off their severance pay for any of the days between the 60 day layoff rule and when they were actually let go in case they were unable to get new government contracts. Now then, I have a problem with this, because now we are playing politics with the rules and regulations, allowing one company a waiver, because the president and his administration didn't want any negative news (massive layoffs) in the newspaper in a swing state, namely; Virginia outside Washington DC.

Now it has become a big political football because the Republicans are crying foul, and rightfully so, while the Democrats are saying that the defense contractor wanted to purposely do this to help defeat President Obama in the 2012 November 6 election. If a presidential administration is willing to give waivers to some companies, while making other companies follow the rules, then in essence they are helping some companies break the rules that everyone else has to follow. Not to mention the fact that it was a Democratic congressperson that brought forth the bill, making layoff notices a requirement, in the first place.

To me, this is just one more underhanded move in presidential politics, and it smacks of crony capitalism, abuse of power, and using presidential executive orders and the oval office as a tool of intimidation. That's not the country I signed up for, and that is not the country that promises equality under the law. I am quite concerned and deeply troubled, and this sort of behavior isn't good enough not for my country. I hope you feel the same, and then vote appropriately.
