Both parties are going to fix everything. Neither party has a specific plan on how to fix anything. Political races should not be popularity contests, yet that is exactly what they are. The most specific plan is from Trump, build a border wall. Otherwise I have not read anything concrete about any policy.

Basically we have sound bytes, talking points, and feels good fluff. As Americans we will do our part and vote. But damn I wish there was someone I could feel good about voting for. On one side we have the man who wants to be like Putin thereby running the United States as his own property. On the other side we have a woman who wants to turn the United States into a socialist country.

In truth whoever wins will have no major effect on my life and my family's. I get the feeling we are in a Nero fiddles while Rome is burning situation with no way out. Here is my bottom line, the deficit is ever increasing, all levels of government employ way the hell to many people, and we are heading towards hyperinflation at some point in time in the future. Sadly this seems to be the case with many countries

Certainly I am to damn dumb to figure out an answer. My belief is that a viable answer would be so complex that no one will find it.

OK, now I will get back in character.

There's only one party that does the carrot and stick and that's the DNC. The ol' Presto-Changeoh. The grand switcheroo.

Here's a blast from the past....

+1 on DMV’s post. Just like Trump’s last campaign he has stated his goals. Last go-round he would often do a “promises made, promises kept” segment where he referenced the documented goals that he campaigned on. Tax cuts, trade deals, etc.. The DNC has not done this.

Poverty and suffering is rampant in Socialist countries. How many times do we reference Venezuela or Cuba or USSR or North Korea to make this point clear? With Socialism you must have an authoritarian government. The government owns the means of production and all the resources and has 100% control of the labor force. It is class warfare. The bottom is not raised but the top is lowered. The wealth gap increases astronomically to the point that the citizens are all much poorer than the extremely small percentage of the party boss. The Commisar comes to town, literally, tells the bakers they can make only 1000 loafs of bread, they can charge exactly $1 per loaf not a cent more or less, and the wheat farmers must plant 1000 acres of wheat that produces 10,000 bushels of wheat, not a bit more or less. It is the road to serfdom or should I say The Road to Serfdom. This is not a theory or opinion. This is how the Economic philosophy works and it requires an authoritarian government to implement and control it.

“Both parties are going to fix everything.” Yet one of them has held the office for the past 4 years and 12 of the last 16, so it’s interesting to see how they’re touting fixes on day 1 in the office, while the other party has to un-f$#@ all of the damage done in the meantime.
