So its Paul Ryan

Well, according to CNN, MSNBC and more Twitter folks than I can count, I guess it Paul Ryan for VP on Mitt's Ticket!  Oh Boy late August in Tampa just got a lot better.  I can hear the DNC bus pulling up to every senior citizen community right now, Hurry up Mary we have to stop Mitt & this kid from taking away our cash.  Sure he is a "Lighting Rod" but at least he is trying to fix deep issues our country has been unable to address. I, like most Democrats, don't like his plan on Medicare and Social Security but if we try to work with him it just might work.  Others will say he's too young, heck when as 42 been young? JFK was young and Clinton was young, so what we need the fresh blood.  Paul Ryan has a vision for the country, one that is not unlike Ronald Reagan's vision for the country but what did that really get us?

Either way, this election is about our future.  Do we continue to cut taxes with complete disregard for the Middle Class? Or do we attempt to slowly change the paradigm and focus on the whole country.  I find it funny, very funny some of the very people who have gotten help, their paychecks increased-Payroll Tax cut, Health Care etc are the same people who can't or won't support President Obama.  The man is working to make you & I have a better shot. Over the past twenty years our leaders have cut taxes on the top earners in the country and the results have been bad.  We have, as a country, have become great at making BS Money. BS Money is money that doesn't really exist, think CDO's, Market  Calls, the people who bid oil up to $147.00 a barrel. It's not real money, one flash crash and it's gone.  Sure it makes some folks rich but more often than not the middle class folks, those making $30-$50,000.00 a year don't see any of it.  If you really want to make things better call your congressmen/woman and tell them to re-act "Glass-Stegal" and get Money out of politics.  If you do those two things this country can really do some great things again.
