Change?

Not long  ago I read a joke ... It said all the politicians running  for president are promising change to the American people. 

We send them billions and billions of tax dollars and  they send us the change. 

Funny?

Not  really; there is too much truth in it to be funny. 

That got me to thinking ... They all promise change.  How about if they run on a promise of restoration rather  than change.

A restoration that would take us back  in time to a place where things ran better, smoother and  life was more enjoyable.
Change?

That, in truth, is  what they have been giving us all along.

• We used to  have a strong dollar .. Politicians changed that. 
• Marriage used to be sacred .. Politicians are  changing that.
• We used to be respected around the  world ... Politicians changed that.
• We used to have  a strong manufacturing economy ... Politicians changed that. 
• We used to have lower tax structures ... Politicians  changed that.
• We used to enjoy more freedoms ...  Politicians changed that.
• We used to be a large  exporter of American made goods ... Politicians changed  that.
• We used to teach patriotism in schools ...  Politicians changed that.
• We used to educate  children in schools ... Politicians changed that.
• We  used to enforce LEGAL citizenship ... Politicians changed  that.
• We used to have affordable food & gas  prices ... Politicians changed that, too. ... and one could  go on and on with this list.

What hasn't been  changed, politicians are promising to change that as well,  if you will elect them.

When, oh when, is America  going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once  were and where we have come and say, enough is enough? 

The trouble is, America's youthful voters today  don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty  years ago. They see the world as if it has always existed,  as it is now.

When will we wake up? Tomorrow may  be too late. When will America realize ... Politicians are  what is wrong with America ?

What is needed  is for the constitution to be amended to limit all Senators  and Representatives to TWO terms in office like the  president.

Oh, by the way, no big pension either,  social security just like the rest of us.

Being a  politician shouldn't be a persons life work but rather a  call to service then back to being an honest hard working citizen.
