OPINION: The Big Prize
By John Fedele
From time to time it is necessary to repeat or update the whys and wherefores concerning the nation’s woes and the upcoming election. I know some of you will say, “we have heard this before.” Good! That means you are paying attention. To those who did not pay attention or missed the first edition, this is for you.
The woes: Poor economy, high unemployment, a congress who has accomplished little or nothing, a president who appears to be on a mission to change the philosophy and purpose of the nation, and a populace who has been brainwashed into believing it is their right to have everything they desire via the rich and government.
The problem: It is not Obama’s Fault! It is the fault of the congress. I cannot believe those who make and pass the laws of the land are so stupid as not to see what is happening when the administration sidesteps the constitution in order to get things done that the congress will not accept or pass. That is evident each time the president/democrats proposes a budget, and it fails. We have not had a budget passed for close to 3 years. Perhaps the congress does understand. Now, it is time for the populace to understand that this election is not about getting Obama out of office (although that should happen) but more important, it is necessary to get the house and senate under the control of the GOP.
Even more important, it is necessary to get rid of the current members of the house and senate, since they have allowed this administration to run roughshod over the constitution and the nation. That is the Big Prize. The presidency is just the icing on the cake.

the real big prize is giving mllionares and oil co. big tax breaks
Does’nt matter, they don’t work for the taxpayer anymore.
sure it matters, you need to tell ever one you know that they need to do there own research and then vote on election day,to change things around and take back our counrty from the crazy right, tea baggers, koch oil lovers.
Since when is it crazy to want a congress and president that doesn’t spend more than it taxes and doesn’t tax companies so much that they move overseas?
Clinton balanced the budget,bush blew it all away and past out tax cuts to the super rich,did these jobs come back? no, they will never come back unless you (we) stop buying there junk, and that includes the cars If you have ever worked in any company that deals with very rich people and also poor people, you find out really fast that the more they have the tighter they get. A man with 50 oil wells can wine like a baby over $50. they can made good money here ,but it’s never enough, they need more ,more then they know what to do with , it kind of a sickness. The poor rich folks don’t even realize how munch us middle class laugh behind their back. There are a few that do good with there extra money ,the main owner of hays post. com is one of them
