Upside Down Solutions?

The world seems to be turned upside down.

The Country has racked up an almost unsustainable debt, the deficit for this fiscal year has reached record amounts, there are people willing to blow up Times Square, oil has spilled all over the Gulf threatening not only that region of the country, but the rest of the country at large, our Commander in Chief doesn't feel it's important to be at Arlington National Cemetary on Memorial Day to honor those that have laid down their lives for this country, Congress wants to spend EVEN MORE money we don't have after their holiday break on projects they call "jobs bills" but result in the losses of millions of jobs, and the Administration refuses to support our strongest and most vital ally in the Middle East if not the world while doing nothing about North Korea sinking a South Korean submarine and nothing to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Am I missing something? Does anyone else feel that this Country is perilously close to losing what makes it the best nation to be fortunate enough to live in?

Why is it that people wait YEARS to come to this Country legally, for a better future for themselves and their families. Not only do people come legally, but millions of people are here and continue to pour into this country illegally for the same reasons. Do you see a flood of people to any other nation in the world? Why do you think that is?

Everything is upside down. Foreign leaders should not be allowed or welcomed to address Congress to bash our Country with a standing ovation as a response. Where is the leadership? Where is the common decency and common sense?

This Country is the best country in the world. We are the most generous, humane country. We have the most freedoms, although the seem to be slipping away every day. We have the best health care, or at least we did. We are the most generous, giving not only to charities in our country but also around the world.

How are the solutions the Administration propose and supported by Melissa Bean the right solutions for the Country? They have done nothing to weaken us as a nation to "even" things out or redistribute what some think is too much to others that they think need it more.

There are consequences for elections, and we, as a nation, are learning those consequences all too well. We trusted our elected officials too much for too long.

It's time to take a stand, take accountability for whom we elect to represent us, and demand accountability in return.

The solutions being implemented to problems that don't exist, don't need "overhauling" or "reforming", are all upside down. If true solutions were sought, different decisions would be made. This is about doing what government thinks you should be doing, not you making a choice for what's best for you and your family.

Stand up, use common sense, and hold your elected officials accountable.

Start to turn things back around.
