I Hear A Big Speech is Tonight

     Big speech to night, I will not be in attendance.  These 'State of the Union' speeches have become just for show, having lived through many of them.  Too much applause, too much commentary, and too much, shall we say, stretching of the truth. 
    Besides, I know what the economy looks like and what the next four years will bring.  All hail all social matters and the hell with the majority rule and less government.  If, per Pelosi, we don't have a spending problem in Washington look for more printing of dollars that are backed by nothing anymore.
All this to come and I am still living in Massachusetts, why????  I only see one person I would vote for today and that would be Dr. Carson.

DR. CARSON: One of the things I also said during the speech is there will be some people who will say, 'but you’re a doctor and you’re a surgeon, you should be sticking to that.' And I mentioned the fact that five physicians signed the Declaration of Independence and were involved in the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and several other things. 

 

There’s absolutely no reason at all that physicians, scientists, shouldn’t be involved in things that affect all of us. We’re people who've learned how to make decisions based on facts, empirical data, rather than on ideology, and one of the geniuses, one of the real things that made us a great nation, is that we brought people from all backgrounds into the legislative process. So that all of us would be able to place our interests there and we've gone significantly away from that.

 

And no one goes up to a lawyer and says why are you getting involved in this, that and the other thing. I don't see why they would say it to a physician, who has more education than anyone else in society.
