The State of the Nation

Our nation appears to be headed for trouble.  State Uber Conservative Governors in several states are trying to ram through legislation that will give them supreme powers over governmental entities in their states.  Not good.  Study history and see where countries who tried to suppress their citizens like this  ended up.

Our national government and our media are in disarray and saying things they can't support.
If Congress wants to do something effective, slice the IRS budget, stop using them as a tool to annoy Americans, and inquire when it gave the IRS powers to say what taxes, penalties, and rules will be the law.  Perhaps Cong Issa's oversight committee should start investigating this issue.

The healthcare companies like BCBS are continuing to hurt older americans.  How about CVS Pharmacies being fined millions for OverCharging patients. 

Any citizen who looks at these things and is a student of history will understand what is happening.  If you would rather just sit back, shrug your shoulders, and say "Oh, well, there's just nothing we can do."  Look at those who protested in Wisconsin.  The voice of America is powerful, and we just need to start speaking up.

That's my 2 cents for today
