But, which candidate is going to singlehandedly deliver us from this fate? (Hint: don't hold your breath)

Seriously, I'm not sure which candidate stands for these things? I must have missed it. I thought the important issues in this campaign were,,, holding people accountable for chauvinist locker room talk, and sending emails from the proper server.

By the way, I think teachers, USPS employees, and road crews were included in your absurdly broad brush stroke there.

 

How about a judge who follows and protects the US Constitution?

 

The fact that they all will spend millions of dollars to get a job that pays a fraction of that should be the first sign something is wrong.

 

The number of gov. employees in WI now out number us common working people.

 

That's a good point. Well fellas, I'm off to do my civic ̶d̶o̶o̶d̶y̶ duty.

 

There's an election today?

 

I don't play their game anymore.

 

Oooh, they gotz stickers?
That cinches it then.
I'm gonna' go vote for somebody.

 

Write yourself in.

 

Neither candidate possess the leadership or skills to help the country significantly.

Good idea with the points and I agree with the main point BUT...
I feel as though manufacturing is like churning milk by hand, its an old concept for market conditions that dont exist.
The only way to make something work that there is no demand for is subsidies or welfare(government tax spending) in one form or another.
Look at the auto manufacturers. Automated stuff came through and they had to unionize.(robots build better stuff anyway).
Same goes for college there isn't demand for a mediocre college grad anymore. And that's created a crisis. And now they want it to be "free"

I think any politician who spouts about manufacturing is living in the past.

What's more important to look at is stuff like real inflation numbers. How GDP is actually measured(fudged) and real inflation and WHY or how it's ACTUALLY happening.

The dollar is devalued(it represents our nation's value or worth) and is continuously devaluing.

 

Only if I don't have to converse with Putin.

 

Forgot to get mah stickah.

 

PLEASE VOTE . I no it sucks. I would rather live in the USA then any where else (THINK ABOUT IT)

 

Couldn't agree with you more Shawn

 

When I lived somehere else, I voted. Now that I am back in the USA, I no longer see any value in it and don't bother.

 

wait till they want to collect their pensions, talk about a Ponzi scheme
New tax rate,
How much did you make?

OH and do not blame me, the USVI's are not allowed to vote for President
