WHY?

Why is there such a vast difference between the two parties. Why is there no rational thinking group somewhere in the middle?

I understand black and white, black is black and white is white. I also know that there is a gray, part black and part white. But there seems to be no gray area in politics.

So just WHO or WHAT determines the party line? Who made the decision that putting the country into serious debt was the way to go? Is there anyone, anywhere who realizes that we will NEVER have the manufacturing in this country that we once had. I think that perhaps that is why we have unemployment in this country, there are NO jobs, they are all overseas. Because of costs in this country we will never be a manufacturing colossus again.

Where do we go next if there are no jobs? Sometime, somewhere, someone has to produce something to generate income. The government cannot continue printing money just to satisfy the needs of all of the citizens of the country, there will be a day of reckoning.

Barter is a method of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money.

The free-enterprise system is a system of production, investment, and consumption under which private individuals and business firms, largely by their own initiative and responsibility, combine the community's labor skills, managerial skills, and capital to produce the bulk of the goods and services men want.

A welfare state is a concept of government where the state plays a key role in the protection and promotion of the economic and social well-being of its citizens.

We are all living in a "paper" world. What is the actual value of that paper dollar in your pocket? Realistically it has no value other than the value of the piece of paper and the bit of ink on the paper. It is guaranteed by nothing

WHY do the Liberals want us to become a welfare state? And, what comes after that?

Is there no MIDDLE GROUND?
