Dylan says some nice stuff that is very true and all sounds nice but he doesnt really nail down a solution to his perceptions,Basically all anyone has got is their vote every 4 years,if you dont like the way things are going then vote in those that represent the way you want it done, if your representatives dont get elected then work as best you can with what the majority have elected., .

And like he said "our federal government has been high-jacked by corporate America." And our politicians can't even talk about it (because if they do they will lose their campaign money.)

One thing I would like to say is this. I hear people say (mainly conservatives) that our national debt is $70 trillion dollars. I don't deny that a (dangerous) $70 trillion dollars is somewhere.


But our national debt is around $17 trillion dollars.

"Unfunded Mandates"

Do you think those are free?

Look it up:

It's not $17T. It's not $70T. Feast your eyes and your mind and get back to us.
