Change is coming, we have a new power in the Senate



If you really think it matters which political party controls the U.S. Senate, please answer these questions. Don’t worry, they’re not that difficult:

With much hoopla and celebration, many Americans are ecstatic to see that the Republican Party now controls the Senate of the United States of America. To some, this is a great thing, to others, it has been likened to the downfall of civilization. However you feel about this event, here are questions that will explain to you what happens when one political party controls the Presidency, the Senate or the House,

1. Will the US foreign policy in the Mideast change from current incoherent and disjointed efforts on numerous fronts of war not being a war? Answer, This first question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

2. Will basic civil liberties be returned to citizens? Answer, This second question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.
3. Will the influence of big corporate money no longer be an issue in election campaigns. Answer, This third question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

4. Will the predatory policies of the Federal Reserve that profits Wall Street Do Nothings and is the main cause of the disparity in economic wealth of Americans change. Answer, This fourth question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

5. Will the policies controlling the administration of drugs, food and beverage change in ways that will benefit the populace that elected those that represent us. Answer, This fifth question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

6. Will there be any prudent assessment of unaffordable weapons systems being developed currently such as the F35 fighter which doesn't work, is over budget and completely antiquated even before being finished. Answer, This sixth question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

7. Will there be any changes to the system of lechery paid for by Washington lobbyists garnering favors for Big business, Wall Street do-nothings and anyone with vast sums of money. Answer, This seventh question is simple, it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

I'm sorry, those that actually believe that who is in power actually makes a difference will be sadly disappointed to learn the truth. Power corrupts, and those seeking the power to make change are all corrupt right from the get go. 

America, It is the best place to be, but far from ideal.
