It doesn't matter which party is in power, they're all bought and paid for by someone. And it travels back and forth over the decades as to whom has the people "more" in mind than the other. It looks like the shift is moving back to the Democrats for the next little while. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be taxed any more than I am now. The spending is out of control. If the government were a household, that household would have been bankrupt every 7 years. I believe a government should spend money, don't get me wrong. The FED is a creator of innovation not necessarily jobs. NASA was FED and the tech invented from them is household daily use. Upkeep of our streets and power grid (if they did it) is necessary and creates a job. It has to be done. But it shouldn't be as rampant as it is. I don't think we need to build or rebuild other countries up until we are on solid ground first. Don't need the blind leading the blind.
