Divided Government

Editor, Times-Union:
We’re $16 trillion in debt caused by the two-party system in Washington. What is worse is that neither of them have an actual plan to lower the debt because both support an illegal Federal Reserve that controls our money and creates the economic cycle that effects everyone.
How about we do what Iceland did, and arrest their central bankers, let the debt work itself out and the government resigned? Today it is one of Europe’s fastest growing economy. Now why hasn’t that been reported on in the mainstream media? Read about it at http://http://americanlivewire.com/world-economic-news-icelands-economy-now-growing-fas/ Ignore the television media and go on the Internet and get the news because you’re going to get a lot more informed than anything that Sean Hannity or Chris Matthews will tell you.
We are involved in multiple foreign wars overseas that are costing us trillions of dollars a year and are creating more enemies than friends. Why do we have to be the policeman of the world, telling other people how to live their lives or how to govern? How would anyone feel if another country was patrolling our streets and the foreign troops were free from our jurisdiction?
We have a federal government that has continuously ignored the Constitution and is now possible for American citizens to be indefinitely detained without access to legal remedies, counsel or access to visit family friends. How would you feel if you spoke out against the government and the government decided to basically remove you from existence, moved to some secret place and no one would ever know you were there? The government would determine when or if you would ever be allowed to be released from their custody. Believe it or not, such a provision exists.
Whatever your hope is for your D or R political team, it ain’t gonna happen. There will be a divided government, so, yes, you’ll again have an excuse for your team’s lousy performance and the continued decline of our nation. But in truth, you know darned well that when your guys had the chance (with a total lock on all three branches), they did exactly the same thing you complain the “other guys” do – government got more intrusive, sneaky, powerful and scary, and you and your children’s children got stuck with the risks, the damage and the bill.
