But What About Me?

Many Americans remain unemployed and there does continue to be nervousness out there. People may be planning to voice their nervousness at the polls by voting for the "other guy". We tend to be concerned about ourselves first and that is clearly understandable. We all say "but what about me"? The fact is, that corporate America has recovered from the recession with incredible speed as evidenced by cash, earnings reports and dividend payments. The fact is that the turnaround from job losses to gains has been faster during this recovery than in any recent recovery. The fact is, that the wealthy do not spend additional tax savings on jobs and growth, they save it, so to throw the Democrats out because of their reluctance to give the wealthy more breaks does not make any sense. The fact is that runways and bridges and tunnels and roads are being repaired and spurring job creation from stimulus money and the fact is that every child under 26 can now remain on their parents' health plan. Yes it is frustrating in many parts of the land, but going back to the very policies that led to our near economic meltdown, just isnt smart. Republicans even if they win the House will not be able to roll back health care or force tax breaks for the rich because their majority will be small, thus perpetuating the continuous pattern of gridlock. Vote for progress, slow and steady not for disastrous policies and promises unfullfilled. Be careful of what you wish for. You may get it. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
