The political machine in the United States has gone awry. The two party system that is in place here has virtually guaranteed that the 3rd Party or Independent candidates have little or no chance in the national political arena. To add insult to injury because of this there is no motivation for Democrats or Republicans to enact legislation which will help move us away from a two party system.

On Monday, February 16th President Obama will sign into law the nearly $800 billion dollar stimulus package and most likely he will do so with a great deal of excitement. So what will the stimulus package do for you? For the vast majority of Americans there will be little to no change at all in their lives other than perhaps a small tax credit. The stimulus package isn’t geared toward the 90-94% of Americans who have jobs, it is geared toward helping the 6-10% who don’t.  That is exactly why it will fail to bring about any meaningful change.

Abraham Lincoln famously said in his Gettysburg address that a “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Lincoln was a great man, but how many of your Congressional Representatives can you say the same? Our country, especially the elected representatives of the people have completely lost site of the principles that this country was founded upon.

For the past several months Congress has been bungling the economic recovery of the United States in every way imaginable. Lack of oversight, no direction and pork barrel spending have been their trademarks. So far they have spent $700 Billion of the taxpayers dollars on the Bailout and are closing in on approving an $825 Billion dollar Economic “Stimulus” package. Thus far the Bailout has done nothing to help the economy and each day we read about more and more CEO greed and corporate waste. The new Economic Stimulus package is doomed to the same fate as the Bailout. It is filled with Congressional pork barrel spending. If they were serious about helping the average Joe they would have instituted a plan similar to the one below. It’s simple and to the point.

In case you have not heard it’s been reported that Wall Street companies handed out $18 Billion dollars in bonuses as the US economy crumbled in 2008. Where did that money ultimately come from? The tax payer funded Bailout. The only thing that the Bailout has really shored up is the compensation system for rich executives. The economy is still in shambles, companies are failing left and right but the rich have gotten richer.

Now apparently President Obama has come out to express his disgust for this type of behavior but where is the action? Where is the oversight of these companies receiving tax payer funds? Congress essentially handed them a blank check but you don’t see them taking any responsibility. They are ultimately to blame but we all know that nothing will happen to them. The gave all the responsibility to former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Before becoming Treasury Secretary he was the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Why would put a former Wall Street CEO in charge of handing out funds to Wall Street CEOs?
