I gave him a treat, and he settled down beside me and started crunching on it happily.

“Why did you give him another treat?” she asked.

“Because he likes it, and if he’s happy, he likes me.”

“But he’s fat.” she pointed out.

“It doesn’t matter,” I said. “He’s happy, for now, so I’m happy. I don’t want to be the bad guy, you know?”

Politicians don’t want to be the bad guy to the voters. So they will drive this American train until the bolts fly off before they put the brakes on the stock market boom. Bubbles and market crashes are irrelevant to them when they value being elected over taking care of America.

The solution?

Stop voting career politicians especially the ones with “Democrat” or “Republican” after their name. It is a fantasy to not expect corruption with the two parties which have established themselves in our minds as the only choices.

The two party electoral group is the ultimate special interest group!

And we keep putting them back into power and compromising our community.
