I NO LONGER TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT

I remember when Michelle Obama stunned everyone when she said "for the first time in her life, she was proud of her country," when Barry was nominated and elected.
     Well, for the first time in MY LIFE, all 76 years of it, I am ashamed to admit that I no longer trust ANYTHING my government says to me (us) in any manner, shape or form. TV news reports, presidential announcements, greasy proclimations from press conferences - hope! Not one word. I assume, their lips are moving, ergo, they are lying, or someone behind them told them to. I wait for the announcements a day or two later from someplace else declaring the opposite is true.
     I have yet to be disappointed.
          " All dictators,...all totalitarian regimes eventually come to an end. Sometimes it seems they go on forever, but, they do end, and we go on to better times."......Mathatma Ghandi, great soul of India.
     And so it will be, our political pendulum will again swing away from socialism (as the late comedian Williams once quipped "Communist Lite"), and come back to what we once were, freedom.
     Richard Nixon, one of former presidents was run out of office because the Democrats vilified him for lying. He lied to the American people and resigned for it.
     Currently, at this writing, the leading contender for the election, Mrs Clinton, iw leading  the poles. There is no doubt (70% agree in the national polls) that she is a liar on many different subjects both trivial and deeply troubling. Yet, the majority of Americans SEEM to overlook that and her husband, he of the stained dress, and are willing to put them back in the OVAL office.
     " She has this unbelievable ability to be a liar. She is soulless." ...a female member of the New York Womens' Leadership Forum.

The American Government Under (De)Construction

 Let's analyze: so far in about six years, I can account for the Health and Human Services spending (untolled ) millions of dollars in just setting up a computer system for Health Care for the government and "Obamacare." The job to do it never went out to bid. The contractor has a hazy past, the press never did a follow up on it, who were they? The IRS..hmm. Lois Lerner failed to turn over emails, documents required by Senate subcommittees even under subpoenas blocking legal investigations. Several IRS big wigs, ditto, and then resigned under " clouds of suspicion."
     Subsequent IRS operations, loss of taxpayer records, loss of work hours to employee playing during work time on house computers as reported in press stories, then recent explosions regarding the loss of 20 million taxpayer files to hackers and IRS officials waving their hands in confused desperation over the matter.
     The official response from IRS manager Koskinen? Arrogance mixed with mumbled and vague I don't knows to the Senate subcommittee who subsequently have done nothing about it.
     Meanwhile I believe the Office of Management and Budget audited somewhere near $100 million dollars in over payments to either dead people, welfare recipients and over payments to some government contractors who deliberately over billed Uncle Sam. " We are investigating."
     Then there is the recent hacker of 200 million PERSONAL FILES from OPM, another government agency. That's everything they know about us, social security cards, credit cards, your grandmother's birthday to your kids prison records. EVERYTHING. And what do we hear from our government? Zip? Zero. Nada from the White House. That's because they don't know what to do about it. God forbid the Chinese attack        
         Then, there was the woman testifying before a Senate subcommittee this week. One Senator asked, do you need help.  "yes, please, thank God," and by the next morning, she's retracting everything she said and hiding under her desk. Government pensions are hard to come by these days.
     The San Francisco killing of a beautiful young American girl has turned into a political finger pointing game of " he said-she said" as the INS, ICE, SFO, sheriff's department seek to shift blame behind the cold, dead body of their collective guild
     The girl is dead. The Illegal Alien is an ILLEGAL ALIEN, not an undocumented Democrat.
     On retrospect, in spite of what the president says, nothing in the government seems to work. To me, every time I see someone on the national level making a pronouncement, I tend to believe the opposite. This is the first time in my life I AM NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, with apologies to Michelle Obama.
