Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies

A Lie, a whopper, a white-lie, a walloper, a prevarication, a falsehood, a falsity, an untruth, a fib, a story, a tale, a misunderstanding

Ah, a lie by any other name is still the truth?  Let’s start with the standard definition of the word.  A lie is a statement that deviates from or perverts the truth.  Ok, good we are all on the same page now or are we?  It seems that if you are a member of the current White House administration a lie really is the truth.


For example how many jobs have been saved thanks to the stimulus plan?  Valerie Jarrett says thousands.  Presidential advisor David Axelrod and White House Secretary Robert Gibbs claim millions of jobs have been created or saved.  Yet the official US unemployment rate has climbed to 10% and isn’t falling.  The US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics reported:

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- DECEMBER 2009   Non-farm payroll employment edged down (-85,000) in December, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 10.0 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment fell in construction, manufacturing, and wholesale trade, while temporary help services and health care added jobs.  Household Survey Data In December, both the number of unemployed persons, at 15.3 million, and the unemployment rate, at 10.0 percent, were unchanged. At the start of the re- cession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons was 7.7 million, and the unemployment rate was 5.0 percent.

So what is the truth?  This is the truth.  People are hurting because they are unemployed and/or under employed.  Families have to work multiple jobs to make enough money to have a decent quality of life.  God forbid you should have more than two children!  Talk about expensive.  Who’s at fault the Democrats or the Republicans?

Both are at fault!  They have forgotten why they were elected.  Their only goal in life is to keep their butts in those cushy offices that you and I pay for.  They are the noble class and we are surfs the peons. They get treated with great deference and people bow and scrape in front of them.  We were born to serve. 

They exploit us.  They play the middle class against the lower class.  They maintain their power and wealth.  Have you ever wondered why anyone would literally spend millions of dollars to win an election to an office that pays $174,000.00 a year?

Here’s a shocker too, out of 535 congress members 237 are certified millionaires!  So why do millionaires take on the low paying salary and long hard demanding hours?  POWER, I know what your thinking.  That can’t be true.  They all profess to take on the tough job to help the people and is that a lie?  Absolutely not!  It is true the only problem is the people that they help is their people.  Not WE the people, and that my friend is the truth. 

I think the only answer is a moratorium on who can be a member of the congress or senate.  That’s right.  No more lawyers, or doctors.  Lets have bricklayers and mothers.  Lets have nurses, firefighters, and police officers.  Lets have butchers and bakers and candle stick makers.  I know you might be thinking, don’t we need lawyers?  Yes we can hire them to be the scribes and help ensure that the peoples voice and will is written into law correctly.

Wouldn’t we all be better off if our leadership was made up of working people?  People who have had to make ends meet?  People who know what its like to make a payroll on a budget without just ordering the raising of debt limits or the printing of money? 

I know it will never happen but wouldn’t it be nice.
