American Made Mutt

                           STEP ONE: Admitted we were powerless over Congress, that our debt, our kool-aid drinking, our dependency on Washington D.C. had become un-manageable.

                           One of the many things that was pounded in to my head on my "road to recovery" was that I needed to "un-learn" and that my brain needed some washing alright! We as Americans have been being 'Brainwashed' for close to 100 years now.  We have the HEROIN equivelant of addiction to the Congress/Federal government "giving us goodies."  And they have certainly "hooked" us all in some form or fashion. Let's remember, "There is NO such thing as a truly FREE lunch!

                           Now, we have run out of money and it is TIME TO DETOX!

                           We have been brainwashed over many decades to believe that BIG government is the answer to everything. That they give us our rights, that they will take care of us.NO, NO, NO! GOD gives us our "rights!" That Republicans or Democrats are our ONLY choice. We have been BRAINWASHED into believing that they were "looking out for the middle class." WRONG! We have in fact let them decide what "class" we even belong in, thus creating a type of 'caste system' and what I believe an intension to incite divisiveness.

                             Our D.C. representatives have BRAINWASHED us in to believing that they were against those mean old nasty BIG uber wealthy "robber baron" types. When in FACT they are very cozy and bought and paid for by them. They BRAINWASHED us in to believing that SUBSIDIZING something lowers prices and creates a fairer trade system, when in FACT it actually does the opposite! They have BRAINWASHED us in to trusting them to "solve a crisis" when in FACT they are the very same people who have created said and ALLEGED "crisis," and in FACT always use these "created" opportuntities to INCREASE the size and scope of big government and take more of our CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTIES away, thus having more CONTROL over "We the People."

                            Many parents and young people have been BRAINWASHED in to believing they MUST have a college degree to be successful or be a piece of cow doo. Never mind the debt, or the fact that many young people have other God given gifts and talents which may only require some type of tech school or maybe even good old fashioned apprenticeship. But that is all about indoctrination.

                            Millions of us were BRAINWASHED in to believing that we were big losers and again pieces of cow poop if we did NOT own or buy a house. We were BRAINWASHED that it was bad to live in apartments or mobile homes. I must admit that even I actually fell into that ideology at one time in my life, and truly thought I was a loser for living in an apartment. Never mind the facts of how nice it was and "what I DID NOT have to worry about" in regard to maintenance issues.

                            Then they BRAINWASHED and got us HOOKED on cheap Chinese products. How did that happen? We can thank Congress for it's very cozy relationship with UNIONS, thank Congress for it's big bureaucracies which within those contain other agencencies, in other words lots of "red tape." We can also thank Congress for the second highest corporate tax in our world. Not to mention because Congress SPENDS so frivolously they have made sure we are indebted to China with no end in sight, thus even though they know it hurts our own AMERICAN manufacturing sector, their blatant disregard and corruptness FORCES them to 'kiss the rear-end' of China so they will continue to loan to us. Now, as I write this Congress is attempting to once again FORCE "CAP & TRADE" which bottom line will not only chase more of big business away but, will KILL the economy even more and will further KILL the pocket books of all of us.

                            So, "We the People" MUST let me be stern on this, MUST begin our detoxification by doing the following;  STOP believing that we are ONLY a 'two party' system. BOTH the Republicans and Democrats have indeed done a fine job of  BRAINWASHING us into that belief. NOT TRUE! Beginning with this election cycle vote for the person based on their principles and character NOT "Party." The "Party's" are CORRUPT! And are far more cozier than they make the effort for you to believe. Please trust me, there REALLY is the "I'll scratch your back and protect you if you'll scratch mine and protect me" attitude. I have, as many others come to believe that they simply put on a good show for us via the 'LAMESTREAM MEDIA.' Which brings me to, start finding information elsewhere, of course be careful, but there are GREAT and reputable sources for TRUTH and FACTS which have nothing but truth seeking and fact finding as an agenda.

                             STOP with the "YEAH BUT" mentality with SUBSIDIZING! One more time, SUBSIDIZING RAISES the cost of products, NOT lowers! It is 'price controlling.' Higher Education is a great example of this. Prices keep going up because the attitude of the "powers that be" is "The government will send us more money and keep BAILING us out." This has also been the biggest problem in regard to farming. DO NOT BE FOOLED! Why do you think we are NO longer the "Bread basket of the world" much less our own Country. I hear the "YEAH BUT'S" from folks that say it's for the "jobs" Get this straight no, no ,no IT COSTS JOBS in the long run.

                              Hey! It is okay to live in an apartment! A good friend once taught me to "Look more at what I DIDN'T have to worry about." Some attempt to convince people that it is more expensive to live in apartments. Actually long term that is not necessarily true.

                              DETOX off of Chinese products!!! There are businesses cropping up all over our Country offering MADE IN AMERICA products. If more of us support them then prices will come down. That is how FREE MARKETS are supposed to work. Start buying AMERICAN produce, Farmers Markets if you have one near you are wonderful!

                              Begin THINKING THE UN-THINKABLE about our Federal government and you, like so many of us will find not only the answers to your questions, but the painful TRUTH.

                              In closing, there are MANY MORE areas we MUST begin the painful process of detoxing from, like "tax credits" these are only a few. And it WILL be painful for a while. Ask any former drug addict, it's a long road. ALL of us must understand that our problems are now squarely on the shoulders of "We the People."  If we are to be honest with ourselves we indeed have been part of the problem too. And WE must decide NOW, do we want "short term pain for what can be incredibly long term gain." Or believing that just switching sides AAAGAIN in politics will be the answer. I say NOT. That will only produce "short term gain (a bit of hope at best) for what I assure you will be long, very long term pain." Either way we decide will be painful, it is simply a matter of how much pain YOU are willing to deem acceptable.
