Presidential candidates and their agendas

What is really important to the US voters?

If there is one thing which has been refined to an art by all politicians then it is the ability to speak about weighty matters without really providing any logical answers and without committing to any real solutions. And it seems that this is exactly what is taking place once again in this final stretch which will take the US up to the next presidential elections. The question is can we once again commit to a leader that will fail to bring about real change and workable solutions for the current conditions which is being endured in this country. When you listen to the two opposing parties it is very clear that they have identified an almost identical set of problems which has become part of the things about which most US citizens is talking about right now. The real power does not rely as much with the president as it is lying with the powers behind the president. Even though Pres. Obama had several long term plans which he wanted to implement among which better medical healthcare was one, we all know that he was limited in how much could be achieved because the Republicans was in control of the senate. Therefore in order to bring about real and lasting change in the US they needs to be a complete change in power and infrastructures which is supporting the current power.

Just the same old garbage

Many of the current problems which is being so frantically discussed by presidential candidates is more or less the same things which has been discussed for the last two decades with only minor changes here and there or the old issues have just received new names in order to camouflage them a little. There are deeper powers at work in the US and they are the ones who are making the policies which is been implemented by the president and the politicians of this country. And as long as they are in power no real change will ever be possible in this country and people will continue to struggle with things such as expensive healthcare costs, immigration, employment, foreign policy, the federal deficit, global warming and all the other things about which there has been so many heated discussions over the last couple of decades. It’s true there are many which is talking about change but when you look at everything objectively you realize that the core principles, the strategies and the policies which is supposed to initiate change has remained almost exactly the same for a very long time. The reason for this is simple, those who make the policies does not want anything to change because the system works exactly as they had designed it to work.

It is simply collateral damage

All those people struggling with medical debt in this country because of the extremely high cost of medical care is not important enough to those who are in power and there’s no way they are going to make drastic changes to the policies in this country which is certain to reduce their profits forcing them to give up the tiniest bit of their power. There may occasionally be marginal relief but it will be carefully calculated to have only limited benefit for those people struggling with medical debt but very soon the situation will revert to its previous state because that is the way the powers that be has designed this entire system. They are not likely to make any lasting changes until a situation develops that will leave them with absolutely no choice and such a situation will have to be on a very major scale in order to have any real chance of success because these powers have protected themselves very effectively and it is not going to be easy to uproot them. Therefore presidents can be changed every few years but that counts for very little because it is very little more than just another new face in the WhiteHouse but it very seldom changes anything as far as the lives of US citizens is concerned.
