USA! USA! USA!

This is as publicly political as you will see me. Here are my thoughts about the elections. 

First of all, I am happy to say I voted for the best candidate - Ron Paul. He wants to get our country back on the gold standard, stop inflation, and the mass printing of money. 

America lost. Why? Because they elected the same government that has been there for the last two years. This includes a Democratic President, a Democratic Senate, and a Republican House. 
What has this government accomplished in these last two years? Nothing. They have actually caused the US to be downgraded by the S&P from the best debt rating of AAA to a lower AA+.

With their inability to work together, the US stands the chance of getting downgraded again. This is not good. 

I have never seen so many people cheering for a $16 trillion deficit. This government is completely out of control. The government has been increasing the debt in a dramatic fashion since 2000 and it will continue until 2016. By then it will be around $20 trillion. A lot of it is borrowed from China. It is bad when China "approves" of our election. 

The two party system does not work and will continue to promote complacency and mediocrity in our country. Out of about 100,000,000 votes, Obama won by 3,000,000. This country is completely split and will be forever more because they are duped into believing they have to vote straight ticket for one side or the other. 
We need strong third and fourth parties who are moderates. It would at least help.
George Washington (the greatest president of all time) said this about the party system. 

"It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
