media -go my team

I have listened to people representing the budget office and many others  in politics and pundits on TV talking about how raising taxes will help pay off the debt. There never is any mention of cutting back on spending which has risen dramatically since Obama became president. It is so obvious to the majority of people in this country when you have debt the way you get it under control is to cut back on your spending. Why is it only in Washington does this fact not hold any truth.

There is the wasteful spending gone to the hiring of extra people in an effort to pay off political debt. There is the payback to the unions which have increased costs in every product they come in contact with. The constant adding on of dependence to an already strained system will cause this system to break completely and unless there is an expedited attempt to get this problem under control, we face total collapse. This will not be a slow down or a temporary pause where things will be uncomfortable for a time. This isn't a traffic jam on Friday afternoon. People this is as serious as death itself.

For too long there have been members of society with the ability to influence and this influence now has pushed things to that breaking point. those people and groups are not being identified and their stories are not being told to the American people. I believe that the media of today has a tremendous burden on them for not making clear things they know. The media has lost their integrity. There is the larger portion of today's media who have decided to participate in the process rather than report objectively are now a cheering section for one political party against the other. The fact that people are not getting all the facts about what is taking place relates directly to the media and when that happens citizens are not able to make an informed decision.

Without the truth being available to them the number of people who would be rallying against these policies being instituted are not out in the streets and raising their voices in protest. But rather we see a very one sided view being presented. In part due to the unfairness of the medias lop-sided picture they present due to their loyalty to party rather that principle. There has to be more information and participation if we hope to save this great union.
