Down The Rabbit Hole and Ito the surreal world of the American political

If you are invited to take a hard look and honestly about problems facing this country in the world today, it is easy for most people to identify the five or six key issues that profoundly affect on most Americans. I bet it would be ten o'clock the following questions most people above:

– Two ongoing wars in the Middle East.
– An ongoing battle against terrorism.
– Our public education system failing.
– An ongoing battle against the scourge of illegal drugs.
– The escalating cost of health.
– The Social Security and Medicare insolvency position.
– The debt and runaway national deficit expenditure.
– High unemployment rate.
– The lack of a national energy policy and rational.
– Illegal immigrants and problems caused by lack of capacity of national border security.

Whenever you land on each of these issues (for example, against wars or wars against the legalization of drugs and against legalization, etc.), the most intelligent would agree that if we could focus and resolve that this handful of issues, the real world would be much better.

However, when you listen to politicians speak, I sometimes wonder what the real world and trying to live in. Have you fallen into the rabbit hole Alice in Wonderland proverbial in a world that is different from those Americans live longer every day? Could it be that these important issues over the nation, they have not been resolved by politicians since decades have not been solved because the political class in another dimension we? Consider the following events on the American political class, who recently left the burrow rabbit Policy

1) A county policy in Wisconsin, a candidate for a political office, said in a public forum and the camera that Arizona is certainly not a state border with Mexico .. In all maps of the country, I saw my life in Arizona is shown to have a long border with Mexico. In the world of this policy Wisconsin, this which is not the case, it is difficult to solve the problem of illegal immigration when we are totally different looking maps.

2) When Democrats took over both houses of Congress in 2006, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi announced that Democrats will rule in spending patterns outrageous deficits of the Bush administration and the Republican Congress. She promised that expenditure on new federal government less than other sectors of the federal budget reduced to pay for new government spending, his vaunted "pay as you go" approach to limiting the size of government. She proudly proclaims on their website: "Although the (Bush), the President of the budget surplus became a deficit, budget is U.S. Democrats in a new direction, fiscal responsibility back to Washington and the right priorities for our nation. "Given the fact that federal spending has increased significantly and budget deficits have soared (in triplicate) because it takes Congress and the Democratic Party in the first two budgets Obama administration, it is clear that there is, Nancy Pelosi, in a different universe us. Most of us would agree that accountability does not mean tripling the size of the deficit in the short term of four years as it does in the mind of Ms. Pelosi. However, we agree with his assertion that the Democrats' budget leads us to a new direction, fast track to national bankruptcy.

3) We will be with Pelosi for another trip down the rabbit hole, because their world is so fascinating and different from ours. The president recently announced that high unemployment is good, and that, in fact, high unemployment is one of the best ways to create jobs. You can not make these things up, check his press conference on YouTube, where does this claim seriously. Thus, in Globally, more people are unemployed, more jobs are created for people who need a job. In his world, if we can achieve 100% unemployment, everyone could have a job created as a result. Clearly, economic theory is different there.

4) In the world of Georgia Republic Hank Johnson, the physical laws are suspended. At a recent congressional hearing, Congress has expressed concern that the island of Guam of the United States could fall into the ocean. Again, you can not do these things, watch the YouTube video the hearing.

5) The Associated Press reported July 15, 2010, that Federal prosecutions of illegal immigrants have reached levels record in the spring that the Obama administration has pursued a strategy of aggressive control under the presidency of George W. defended Bush. "Apparently, in our world, 4145 cases were referred to federal prosecutors in March and April. This was the largest number of cases of any stretch of two months during the last five years. The article also reported that the deportations have also increased significantly, from 185,944 in 2007 to 387,790 in 2009. So let me get this right: the federal prosecution and deportation of illegal immigrants, more than ever, but has the gall to turn around and sue the State Arizona's attempt to reign in the same wave of illegal immigrants entering the state of Mexico? It seems a bit contradictory, at least for our world of reason. Apparently, it is logical Washington, sending illegal immigrants home with one hand and a slap in the state Arizona with his other hand to do the same thing.

6) On July 13, 2010, the Associated Press reported that more than 100,000 pieces of jewelry Children have been known to stores, because the jewelry contains high levels of cadmium, a heavy metal harmful if swallowed. Is the good news. The bad news is that the world of government regulation of safety (for example, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission), one learns the mistakes of the past. Several years ago, the safety of U.S. government agencies have found that there were many, many children toys sold in this country with high levels of lead, another substance that can cause serious harm to a child if swallowed. After the recall, He replaced the head with the same manufacturers cadmium, result in another recall earlier this year, a memory that includes millions and millions products. Hopefully, after the shock Lead, security agencies were on high alert over the products of the same type. No luck. After we got the fear of Cadmium in the first Instead, we now have another. In the dimension of safety products, learning does not happen, just repeat the disaster over and over again.

September) in the surreal world of American political class, all Republicans are vehemently against gays and Democrats are the only defenders of the way the gay life. However, in our reality, it is not the case. An Associated Press report of July 13, 2010, reported a group of gay rights Republican, Log Cabin Republicans, the administration continues federal court on the refusal of the Obama administration to repeal the "Do not ask, do not tell" military doctrine of homosexuals to serve in army. This surreal establish a democratic government to use taxpayer dollars to defend a policy, a policy which also wants to see repealed by a group who have traditionally been painted as anti-gay. Did you do that, it makes no sense to me either.

And finally, lets leave this post with some fragments of another world and Orwellian Obama. George Orwell's novel 1984, was very specific when he shown how manipulating the way things are said, for example, war is peace, freedom is slavery, etc., may be unreal is real. In the world of Obama, to get our military in Iraq means to stay in Iraq, closing the Guantanamo prison, leaving open means, not recruiting lobbyists to serve in his administration of the means of hiring lobbyists to serve in his administration, significantly reducing the resources to increase funding, remain fully committed to helping residents of the Gulf of Mexico survived the oil spill said to take BP two vacations, play seven rounds of golf, participating in several photo shoots with several sports teams, and having at least two trips to California to campaign for other Democrats, and not to increase taxes for all people earning less than $ 250,000 a year means a tax increase to the same children and grandchildren of people, thereby increasing public spending and unprecedented increases the national debt, all Americans, present and future, you will end up paying.

The sad thing is that politicians live in their own world, a world where the pay is very good, the benefits are great, can hardly be dismissed as they have rigged the electoral process, and not have to care what their constituents think and the problems they face. It does not solve practical problems like the war on drugs, failing education public, open borders, etc., although these problems have affected the country for decades. Therefore, the establishment term limits for all elected federal is becoming more and more critical, forcing them to leave their worlds and other dimensions after one quarter, we expect to be replaced by ordinary people who are based in this world and important issues mentioned above. It is time to bury the rabbit hole after the fall of all, stop wasting our taxes and start addressing issues and real problems.
