Real Change or Same Ol' Rhetoric?

The political headlines have been pretty catchy this week. Seems everyone that had nothing nice to say about each other are having dinner together and now have all sorts of good things to say! Well, I haven't heard about the Cheney Biden dinner, but GOP contenders are all ready to be supportive of our new president, and our new president is ready to cross the aisle in assembling his staff . . . I read something to the effect of 7,000 positions to fill. Now that's not new positions, just rearranging the current ones with new personnel. Just what will those 7,000 people that will be leaving do after January 20? Do they go on unemployment or become lobbyists?
Back to a change in Washington. I realize, since so many citizens are concerned about Pres-Elect's inexperience, he is going to surround himself with seasoned politicians as advisers. So what's change about that? And really, I don't want American politicians to harbor grudges, but seriously, if all the GOP thinks Pres Elect is a socialist, why would they be supportive of that? I'm not, if he is. If we're heading for socialism and infanticide, I don't want to be supportive of that, any more than I was supportive of war-mongering and the direction toward fascism of the past 8 years. Although I do think it's about time politicians were civil, this new wave of support just makes me think you can't believe anything they say, on either side of the the election.
Here's my thought for what it's worth. If Pres-elect wants real change, don't fill his cabinet and staff with seasoned politicians. Get real people involved, like the ones that knocked on doors and made phone calls. The Secretary of Agriculture ought to be a farmer or rancher! The Secretary of State needs to be someone that truly does know how to grit their teeth and smile through nonsense and double-speak. Okay, based on the Monica incident, I guess Hillary would be a good choice there. If Pres-elect really thinks what he said as he campaigned, then I think he needs to totally reassess Homeland Security, all together. We didn't have it before this past administration, and I really don't think we need it. If he really wants to bring change, let's see a Democratic President downsize government. This sounds like the same thing we've seen before. Promises, promises, promises, and the people will work and give up their taxes and the people will take jobs just to have jobs, and give up their taxes. Go ahead with handouts and perks, but get rid of half of the bureaucrats in Washington and that will be change. If anyone is doubting his patriotism, then let's see him do things the way the Founding Fathers did. Real people in real control of their own government. It worked once, but to get back to that would take true change . . .
