"The Haves" and the "Have Nots"

 

“The Haves and the Have Nots”

There is a great distance between people in our country. There are arguments every day on twenty or more television channels, and many more than that in government buildings, lunch time at jobs, and a hundred other places…even house of worship.

This country is headed for a very long struggle, and there is a great need for responsible leadership in our government, military, cities and townships. The time is coming when there will either be successful and responsible government in our times, or we will implode on our own weight.

This morning, I read an article about NASA’s new telescope that cost the taxpayers 10.8 billion dollars. Apparently, we need to find a planet that has life on it, and then devise a plan to go there in the near future. Well, isn’t that nice. But here is my take on that. We haven’t even put a base on our moon yet. Sure, the space station is floating around the world, but that’s already old technology.

Maybe I am an old, disgruntled soldier… but I fail to see the need for finding planets in distant places where we have absolutely no technology that is going to get someone there for fifty or sixty years. It is folly, and a massive pipedream to go with it.

As for that 10.8 billion, here’s a few suggestions for our gubberment:

·       Let’s repair/replace all the failing bridges

·       Let’s repair all the roads full of potholes and failing concrete

·       Let’s build homes for the homeless, and they help

·       Demolish old houses and buildings; they are homes for thugs

·       Let’s worry about Texas before we worry about Mars

·       Let’s quit sending people to prison for smoking weed

·       Let us, as a people, make Congress impose new term limits

Anytime we, as our country’s taxpayers, see money being channeled to utter bullshit, need to speak up. I could care less what party you belong to, or what church you go to…we are all the Citizens of the USA! It’s time to TRULY make our country great again.

There is literally NO reason for a U.S. citizen to go without the basic needs of food, shelter, and health care. I can’t stress enough that we need to turn our money and talents back into our country.

Being the last blog entry for 2022, I want to thank all my readers and all your constructive comments. They mean the world to be, and I’ll be here to rant and rave in 2023.

Cheers,
