At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter who wins, neither side is interested in making real cuts to the budget....tax rates will only go up or down a few percentage points (the only thing that might get really changed the tax rate on investments).....as debt goes up the dollar will get weaker, energy will go up in price, along with food and other things that we need....meanwhile other countries will catch up to us as far as tech and economic status and we will all suffer.....the real change would be throwing out the 2 party system we are stuck with and getting someone in who isn't controlled by special interests, but that is a long shot......
Election Day is typically rather frustrating for political junkies because "today's the day!" quickly gives way to "ugh, the polls don't close for hours." In the interim, we latch onto reports of voting disruptions and anecdotal turnout reports, which are promptly spun into broader lessons about what to expect later that night. Most of it amounts to frivolous time-fillers. To help pass the time, let's see if we can examine a few tea leaves as voters head to the polls:

The point I am trying to make is that 2 parties cannot and should not control the country, if we want to make real progress we need more parties in the system to make people work together.....
In the war between Washington DC and the USA, the last thing I want is a unified enemy "working together". Liberty vs Tyranny is a zero-sum game.
Hey, why not go for some tiny splinter party's presidential nomination in 2016?
No, wait, that would be too much like doing something...
I just am complaining that I have to settle for these 2, I don't like either of them but one of them will be my President...sorry if you are willing to settle for a system that has put us 16T in debt......
Man, what have been watching.
