This Is Just Simply … \u201cBrilliant\u201d … And the Present American Way <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

If The Facts Be True.  <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought <\/font><\/strong>this series of cartoons so depicted our Government, and <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

not just this <\/font><\/strong>Administration. Our Government <\/font><\/strong>has been seriously <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

lacking in common sense a<\/font><\/strong>nd fiscal responsibility for quite <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

some time although <\/font><\/strong>it seems to be worse now.  <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe the people\u201d describes us<\/font><\/em> ; when did it become <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>we the politicians? <\/em><\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>Who is serving Whom or let\u2019s face it: Who should be serving Whom?   <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>\u201cAnd this is why we have added over 200,000 <\/i><\/font><\/strong><\/font> <\/p>\n

<\/font>new federal employees in <\/i><\/font><\/strong><\/font>t<\/i><\/font><\/strong>he past two years, <\/i><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and no one can explain why we are still in a recession.<\/i><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/em> <\/p>\n

It’s not a good time to be an ant.\u201d<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/em><\/font><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>I wish we had more ants employed in our country,<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/p>\n

<\/font>but our government <\/font>seems to create more bureaucratic <\/font><\/p>\n

jobs instead of worker ant jobs. <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Unemployment in our country will not be solved anytime <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>soon. <\/font>We have not saved for a \u201crainy\u201d day much less<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> a rainy decade. <\/font>\u201cOur Government at work\u201d is not <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>our government at work<\/em>, but our <\/font>Government truly <\/font><\/p>\n

not working at the present time. Our deficit grows; we <\/font><\/p>\n

take care of foreign countries\u2019 infrastructure while <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>our own is falling apart; <\/font>our industry is no longer industrious; <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>our schools are no longer schooling; <\/font>our <\/font>retirement and <\/font><\/p>\n

health no longer guaranteed and we cannot guarantee <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>our <\/font>own due to job loss, house loss, and hair loss.  <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>What to do? Stop <\/font>depending on our government <\/font><\/p>\n

for everything and make our own future as<\/font><\/p>\n

we Americans have always done\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

not afraid of hard work or a job too <\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cdemeaning\u201d for our precious self esteem <\/font><\/p>\n

or too \u201cdirty\u201d for our precious hands.<\/font><\/p>\n
