Deal with it, folks

Fueled with internet rage, most of you will enter the voting booths on Tuesday, raring to vote. People to seem pretty enraged these days with the choices. No matter what candidate you choose, please know this

I DON'T CARE

I don't care for the reasons you vote for or against a candidate, as most of them are probably complete bullshit. Vote for whoever has the prettiest hair,  fuck if I care. If you are registered one party and voting solely because your candidate is that party your reasons are completely invalid, much like the hair vote method. 

Why I don't care about your reasons is simple; if you don't take facts (real ones) and use them to analyze your decision, I don't care what you think anymore. Simple as that. As someone who believes in logic, what's infuriating is the enormous lack of it during an election. Only the bits of actual, thought out and verified fact are what I try to listen to. Otherwise, my mind would melt and pour out of my ears. Selective hearing is what some may call it, I call it the Mind Firewall. Posting on Facebook that Obama is a Socialist Job Killer or Romney supports Rape as birth control, then guess what my friend...you just earned a spot on the Mind Firewall block-list.

Now sometimes something so idiotic appears that I have to say something. Not because I wanna win an argument, but because I want to clear up something. No matter who get's elected, the same things will eventually have to occur. No more of this Team Edward, Team Jacob bullshit anymore. Our country has had both sides run the show, and have failed. Now's the time for mutual agreement so things can be done. 

This country has survived something that could of been extraordinarily worse. There's a reason why this recession was called "the worst since the Great Depression", because the worst WAS the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, people lost all of their savings when banks completely closed shop overnight, brokers committed suicide in droves, unemployment reached 25%, Hoovervilles full of tents of the homeless popped up, and people generally lost their minds. Wanna know why Great Grandma was so frugal? Well it's because she probably had to scrounge during the depression to live. 

There was a lot that was done during this depression that saved us from being like that. The auto bailouts did work, and some of the government protections put in place did help the economy for collapsing. The Dow Jones reached 6500 in 2008, and now is sitting at over 13000. We spent our way out of it, and we are dealing with debt that is above our GDP. We've only reached this after WWII, and guess what has to happen next? We need to spend less!

Both sides of the fence have to realize this. We can't pick and choose anymore what to fund more and fund less, I'd say if we cut anything, it's all spending across the board equally. Nothing special about it, no magic recovery plan needed, there are no favorites. Spend less and take in more.Simple?

Since we've been fighting in Afghanistan since 2001, and ending our involvement with Iraq, this is to be expected that spending was so high. To top that, historic tax cuts, bailout programs and recovery acts similar to the New Deal took place, so that is why spending is so high and why our debt is so large

Now's the time to do exactly with what we did after WWII, drastically cut spending. It's gonna suck folks, but either candidate needs to do it. The good news is that history seems to show a trend the end of wars showing a reduction of debt and overall improvement of the economy. We just need to get over the hump. We have been growing in jobs, our unemployment rate has been continuously dropping for the last two years, and is finally below recession numbers. 

Point of the matter is either candidate has an equal shot of making things good. No policy is right all the time in every situation. You can't give tax cuts forever in a depression and make things better. You also can't bail out everything, but both had their places at certain times and worked. Wanna debate them? Sure, but bring facts. Do they work all the time? Probably not. That's the policies we have to adopt, not everything we believe in will work all the time. 

Notice how i'm not giving a specific candidate the "seal of approval." There's a reason, because who I vote for is between me and God ( and maybe my wife). As it should be, not posted on my lawn or on my Facebook page. Keep it in your pants, folks...
