Maybe it would be helpful to think of oneself in an automobile that is headed near the edge of a cliff, and the driver is not steering the car. If there was another person in the front seat, capable of steering the car back onto the road, most of us, if we were in the back seat wouldn’t remotely consider the political affiliation of the person in the passenger seat, who could steer the car back onto the road.
That’s about where we are as a nation. We have seen the future, and it is Greece. Greek federal government insolvent, no market for government bonds, and public employees demonstrating in the streets. Greece is only slightly ahead of us. The world is recognizing that the financial condition in the US has moved us in exactly the same direction that the government in Greece choose.
The 12th Congressional District in Mercer County has been represented for a decade, by a bright man, who is quite likable. However, he has supported the very measures that have pointed our nation over the same cliff that brought down Greece.
Please forget about party preferences in the past, and help put the hands of Scott Sipprelle on the wheel in the upcoming congressional election.
