Although many of us suspected it was rampant, we didn't know the extent of it, not being deecee insiders. And this is what the shysters are afraid of, giving up their perks and influence, their "power", which is really manipulation and coercion. **do what I want or go to jail, peon** <br /><br />spit<br /><br />This will be an interesting year, to put it mildly. <br /><br />PeaceGrognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-79443245225280653402021-01-07T21:11:43.326-06:002021-01-07T21:11:43.326-06:00The answer is not complex.

These three things are the reason the politicians wanted rid of it. It restrains them and forces them to make difficult budget decisions. The less power a politician has the less lobbyist want to do with them.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-38601492275238768012021-01-07T20:53:18.447-06:002021-01-07T20:53:18.447-06:00It doesn't need to be a well organized post, i...It doesn't need to be a well organized post, it's right on the money. Organizing and planning would be a good start to getting our power back. I'm just not sure that we'll ever get that power back without a lot of bloodshed. At the very least, it will necessitate removing quite a few politicians from both sides of the aisle. Strict term limits would help. Taking the money out of the picture (PACs, special interest groups, lobbyists, etc.) would be supremely beneficial. I just don't know how we can put enough pressure on them to make that happen.Navy91https://www.blogger.com/profile/09023454206877290403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-16815639052538596342021-01-07T20:49:58.009-06:002021-01-07T20:49:58.009-06:00I think there are a lot of us today trying to figu...I think there are a lot of us today trying to figure this out. Nothing makes any sense. What is clear is that the prostitutes in DC do not care what you or I think any more. They are saying right to our face. Shut up you stupid peasants, we stole this thing and there is nothing you can do about it. Get ready for the re-education camps. Comply or you will not survive.<br />Forty years ago me my family turned our lives upside down to leave Venezuela and come here precisely because we witnessed this exact same scenario unfolding before our eyes and could see the writing on the wall. We got out just in time. I don't have it in me anymore to pick up tent stakes and do it all over again.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.com
