Cassi Creek:
The next
month will be very interesting. On those
few days when Congress does show up for work, the GOP and teavangelists will
spend their time and our taxation money in efforts to defund the ACA, to kill
the food stamp program, to prevent immigration reform, and to shut down the
government if they fail in their attempts to block anything the Obama
administration proposes.
Most polls
indicate that Americans don’t want a government shutdown. The practice of total obstructionism is
becoming both dangerous to the economy and annoying to a populace that goes to
work every day but finds itself less and less well off with each month that
passes. While the once middle class sees
the income gap grow larger and large, it also sees the continued stagnation of
income for most Americans. This
disparity exists because Congress, particularly the GOP members, continue to
dance to the tune called by lobbyists working for the major corporate
conglomerates, making the very wealthy class into the very, very wealthy
class.
The solution
to this mess eludes me. I can call for
voting out the culprits. But most voters
will continue to vote for incumbents.
The GOP propaganda machine is extremely well funded by the very, very
rich, the energy companies, insurance companies, firearms manufacturers,
etc. The GOP and teavangelists have been
conditioned by endless repetitive misinformation campaigns to view education as
an elitist enemy. This is a war between
the social classes that will continue to become more vicious and bitter as we
watch the United States descend into third world status.
