Every four years we have politicians tell us that if we just vote for them that they will take care of the rest. All we have to do is show up to the polls and vote for their side and our troubles will be gone. Its seems silly when you say it like that but somehow we turn to the government whenever there is a problem. Did we really believe that Obama was going to "change" America? Did you expect there to be no more wars, no unemployment, and your kids would eat their vegetables? The scary part about this mentality is that your basically saying you have no control of the major issues effecting your life.
In all reality, the politicians want you to keep thinking this way. They love the idea that you would, "hand over the keys" to you live over to them. The scariest thing for politicians is the idea that America will wake up one day and realize we don't need them. If you stood up and said I am in charge of my destiny, their power would dwindle to nothing. That is the dirty little secret that no one is talking about.
Obama can give you all the health care you want but if you eat donuts and don't exercise you'll still be sick. Ben Bernanke can execute perfect Fed policy but if you run up credit bills, your still broke. Government/Politicians are only the part of the solution. I encourage you to take control of your lives and ween yourself off the idea that Washington DC is going to solve your problems.
