ELECTION: The centrist solution

If I’ve heard it once everyday, I’ve heard it a hundred times:

“There are 330 million Americans and these are the best two presidential candidates we can come up with?!”

Answer: ‘Yes… It’s a reflection of our nation.’

Doesn’t the fact that Hillary is the most conservative viable Democratic candidate or Trump the most liberal Republican suggest the nation is more centrist than we care to admit?

And if we actually believe that the government didn’t create wealth then wouldn’t we forfeit that government job, handouts for our underpaid workers, Social Security after seven years, Medicare, Medicaid, GSE home mortgage or government pension?

Oh I know. Your socialism is better than anyone else’s socialism.

Phonies us.
