Holding my breath 2016 President

Since election day as the numbers were tallied. I feel as though I am holding my breath.

The world cheered, laughed, cried, became angry. Then some acted out. Like bad children whose parents allow them to terrorize other kids. Some Americans found their freedom was through violence and breaking the law. 

At the helm of the ship now sits a man, President elect Donald Trump, who has been nearly immortalized in television. His pride may be that of a man who knows he has the world by the literal balls. And through whatever crazy voting system America currently has. That voting system seems to put a few in the hot seat once in awhile. Popular vote aside, electoral vote counted and won.

Just in time was this election. Because as America has stopped reconstructing, stop trying to move to space in mass. The world has grown, while America has began to see the decay and rot. Left behind by years of ill managed monies. Corporations whose leaders moved them to countries where the taxes are nearly non existent.

We want to believe things for workers in America will some how get better. That someone in their right mind, would figure out, the forced sale of insurance was a horrible idea.  It has crushed the middle class. Home prices, rentals have decimated millions.

Instead, our new president and his team are moving to trade deals first. Of course, a good business man would move his newly acquired assets to better seating at the table of wealth.

How does his or any politicians wealth make us richer?

Work harder, work harder, the dreams can come true; people keep shouting. Not everyone can keep the pace. We leave far too many good workers behind, without proper support to bring skills forward.

America doesn't need good television now as much as it needs good leadership. The kind that gets things working again. Frankly, lame duck sessions for three months. Vacations that go for over two months or more.  Our tax dollars stolen away from systems to help the people.  Perhaps when real healthy change happens this writer will no longer feel as though I am holding my breath.
