   So 'Everyman' has picked a running mate. This twits answer to our supposed impending national bankruptcy is to cut medicare and other social services. He is hailed as genius by the right. He knows about economics. He knows more about it than economist do. He's to be 'Everymans' connection to the 'common man'.
   So the GOP puts a guy that makes 20 million dollars a year up as presidential candidate because he knows what America needs to recover from being raped by the rich.Then they give him a lap dog that presents a budget that can only further depress our nations economy.
    Before the 'Bush Tax Cuts' for the rich we were doing very well. Had a surplus in fact. So the Repubs are convinced that more of the same is the way to go. Insanity: Doing the same thing over & over expecting different results. I don't believe that the Repubs are insane. I think they're happy with the same results. The rich get richer.
    Where is all the money that the one percent own? If it was here in the U.S. maybe it would be generating some jobs here. But it's not. It's in other countries where it can't be taxed.
    My deluded right leaning friends find nothing wrong with that. They are outraged that a poor child is being fed with public money but feeding lobsters & caviar to billionaires with public money is OK.
   The only thing I find promising is that there are 48 million people on medicare and at least that many close to needing it that could be a major voting block against them.
