WHERE'S THE POLITICAL BEEF?

It's 2012 and another election year has arrived. I'm not looking foreword to all the annoying political ads on the tv along with all the political pandering ,rhetoric and false promises . Although on the other hand it could be a blessing in disguise. How's that you might ask. Well let me explain. This is  a general election year ,that means we are going to vote in or out a new leader of this great nation. How that may and I do emphasis may benefit us is the current folks in power want to stay in power, so in times like these they tend to give the people something that might influence the voter to cast a ballot for them. Such as all of a sudden the unemployment rate goes down,A miracle! over night jobs are being created and the economy is on a huge up-tick eureka! Taxes are being slashed and all is well in the land of plenty. Now if they can only get the gas prices down ,lower the cost of food and utilities we will have heaven on earth. Maybe some good will emerge from all of this ,but who knows.Although the Fed. has a rosy outlook I can't say the individual states do. From the west coast to the east coast and all in between there are massive unemployment, budget and social problems. Our infrastructure is crumbling and our schools are failing.I guess what it boils down to is to is a lot of talk and very little action.
