If the money spent on political campaigns were instead used to fight hunger, poverty and other dire needs this would be a wonderful world to live in. The same is true for the budget for war machines and other things that are not directly benefiting mankind. Political machines are not for the benefit of the voting public in most cases but for the politicians. There are some benefits to government but few that are solely for the people. Most often the statement, "those that cry the loudest are the ones that benefit" is true when it comes to politicians. The other truism is that the lobbyist with the most money is the one that will be heard. We need to stop the in-fighting between the far left and far right before our country is destroyed. Special interests and big government are not the answer either. Government control over everything is an opening for total loss of our rights and freedom. I don't often get political in my posts but the present landscape leaves more than a little to be desired. There are very few candidates available for election that are trustworthy enough to be put into office. It does not speak well for the political landscape when you have to choose the lesser of two evils for office. With that said, I am done with this post for this week.
