If they can’t speak the truth, why don’t they just shut up.

Another Spewing Politician Speaks!

Here is another story about your government at work. They sing a wonderful song about supporting the American worker, then sell us out.

Healthcare and the New Tax on Your Benefits

Looks like we’re batting zero so far!
The scariest part is it looks like there isn’t anybody on the people’s side.
The Democrats and Republicans all look the same.
 Corporatist=Corporatist be they Republican or Democrat!
When will our politicians be about the people? Not about the money?
   What do we do when there is no choice?
            The people woke up in the last election.
                                      Now the politicians need to open their eyes!

      We all voted. We went for the “Hope and Change”, candidate. Of course, silly us, we thought we’d get someone that would represent our interests in the government. What did we find? More of the government as usual, “corporatists”, that support the wants and desires of their major contributors first. We showed the politicians we could support them financially, but our contributions could never match up to the contributions of the major corporations.
     When push came to shove, the politicians throw the little guy to the wolves.
     We do hold the one and only key that keeps us playing with a little power. It’s called the vote. When corporations are allowed to vote, the end of a free society will be upon us.
     Many of you do not realize that the corporations have been elevated to “person” status under the law. They are considered a “person”  entity when representing themselves in the United States courts. In other words they are extended the same rights as you, the real person.
     These realities have come home to roost in the current batch of legislative attempts. Health care reform has turned into a major boondoggle, benefiting the insurance mega-corps, not the individual. The banking reform has helped the banks, and the bankers, not the individual. Now the sell job is on, to get you and I to buy what they are selling as “good for us”. 
     So what’s the deal? The fact is that most of our politicians, whether right, or left, are truly owned by corporate money. To be a politician in this country means you have sold your soul to corporate money.
     How do we take back our government? Push for election reform. Until the people stand up and insist that election reform happen, it will never happen. The fox is guarding the hen house, and you and I are the losers. Our government will never again be about the people, and the people’s freedoms.
     Our media is the mouth of the corporations. Our money value is determined by the corporations. Our job availability is controlled by the corporations. The amount of freedom we have is controlled by the corporations.
     In the 80’s we watched as the airlines were gutted for their assets by “big corporate entities”. In the ‘oughts’ we have watched as the corporations are gutting our government for what we considered “our assets”. They are systematically stealing all of the money out of our treasury for their own benefit.
     What has been the cost to you and me? No health care. No improvement in social security. No improvement financially. No real improvement in our infrastructure. Working till we die. Dieing young. Keeping us afraid. Killing our families. Destruction of our assets. Destruction of our future.
     Write your legislators and demand election reform before it’s too late.
                                              The clock is ticking.

       These are just some tips I’ve come to know from years of driving in the mountains in heavy snow conditions. They pretty much apply when weather conditions have deteriorated during snowstorms. They are a little different from the regular safe driving techniques the company teaches, but they work. I have lived by them for over 30 years.

        When you pull in, back out in the same tracks. You didn’t get stuck on the ride in, so you will not be likely to get stuck if you back out staying in the same tracks.
        Do not try to turn around. While the company teaches you to back first under normal conditions, you are way more likely to get stuck when you get out of your tracks trying to turn around. Carefully back out following your tracks you made going in.
        Don’t be afraid to walk a package in, you’ve all ready wasted the time getting to the stop. Take the extra minutes to walk the package in instead of trying to drive it there. You are much less likely to get stuck parking on the road, than parking in the driveway.
        Use your emergency brake on downhill runs. If you set your e-brake halfway you will not lock up your steering wheels causing you to lose control. Practice using the e-brake in slippery conditions to get a better feel for how your brakes respond. You always need to steer. Using the e-brake slows you down without losing your ability to steer.
        When in doubt, chain up! Chaining up is not the last resort it is the first. If you think you might need chains, put them on. It’s much easier to chain up when you pick the time and place than to try to chain up after you are stuck. I put chains on early even if conditions are just marginal. They prevent you from having that surprise slide away that not only raises your blood pressure, but can cost you years of safe driving. Again, when in doubt, chain up!
        If it’s really bad, give up. My suggestion here is not to recommend you quit early just because you want to, but if conditions are severe, and deteriorating I suggest you contact your center, and tell them you are at grave risk of getting stuck, or having an accident. The company came up with, “emergency conditions”, just for this situation. Don’t be a fool and wreck the truck, or worse yet spend the night in it, just because you think you can be a hero. You can be a hero tomorrow when conditions allow it. Use your judgment wisely.

         Remember that they are not out there. You are. Tell them what you need to do, don’t ask. You are the professional out there in the field, not them.
