The system IS rigged (and then some)!!

"The other reason, is they believe the system is rigged. The deck is stacked. And it is all because Washington and St. Paul are broken."

I heard something on one of the news channels when we were on the North Shore. It had to do with Millennials. Why they are so "meh". There were two reasons the pundits had come up with. Many are convinced they will not have it as good as their parents have had it. (By the way, many parents are also starting to believe this). The other reason, is they believe the system is rigged. The deck is stacked. And it is all because Washington and St. Paul are broken.

Normally I would blow off such hyperbole as this. But I am starting to believe it myself. Washington and St. Paul have been taken over by con men (and women). Just like in the Ghost busters movies, it is like both towns have been "slimed" with something unholy and toxic.

Catching up on the local news since I was gone this week, I saw an interesting article about our favorite choo-choo train. That be the Southwest LRT. Or using other terms, the train we will all pay for (a lot!) and very few will ride. Anyhow, the news story is despite the fact the state did not pony up the $100+ million to unlock all that "free" money from Washington, Washington is going to release that money anyway. Huh? What the what?

Let's replay the bidding just for a minute. During the last session, Governor Mumbles changed his mind towards the end. At that time, the funding for the SWLRT became his pet rock. And he told us over and over and over again, if those stingy Republicans did not release the funding, the "FREE" money from the Feds would not come. And not only Mumbles, but most of the Loony Left repeated that lie to the local population.

Next week you will have a chance to hear (I will plagiarize this term from Governor Pence if that is okay) the Secretary of Status Quo promise more of the same. More and more sleaze dumped on Washington. She is a person who does NOT believe the fix is in. Why? She lives by the fix. It has made her and her man fabulously wealthy while the rest of us just suck out.

You may love Donald Trump, you may hate him. You may believe him, or disbelieve him. However if there is the most remote chance that he would go to Washington and "kick over the tables", I am all in. This crap has got to stop! The people have a voice too! In fact, the people's voice should be all that matters. 

I have said this before. Half of the people are angry right now. In fact it is seething anger. The makers have had it, while the takers just want more of the same. If we get more of the same with a Clinton in the White House, I fear for our great country. I fear for what might happen. We need to fix Washington and St. Paul while they are still fixable. Otherwise America will just end up as a footnote in the history books.
