The Status Quo is the Goal

Much of the difference between Republicans and Democrats is one of process.  While jobs, foreign affairs, education, immigration, military and global warming are indeed real important issues.  Many believe that nothing can be accomplished on these items until we have a functioning government where respect, integrity, honor, and truth prevail.  Both parties are intent on telling us what the other party is doing to destroy America, placing blame, hurling insults and ignoring or berating solutions to problems.    We have to realize that the hatemongers’ agenda are to keep the status quo.  As long as everyone is yelling at each other nothing will get accomplished.  Big Pharma will keep raising prices, health insurance premiums will continue to go up, and education and prisons will continue to be privatized.  Democracy’s biggest asset is the separation of money and power.  It appears we have lost that.
