It's Time For a Third Political Party

If the past decade has taught American citizens anything, it's that neither major political cares about actually solving problems. They care about re-election, and, honestly, I can't blame them. Being in congress isn't a bad job even when their approval rating is hanging around 10%. They know that they just repeat the things that people want to hear. Lower taxes and give more benefits. Increase spending but decrease revenue. Even fixing the tax system is out of the question because it's raising taxes, but so is cutting or even fixing Medicare along with spending in general.

Often, the debate concerns social issues, but this is just a distraction from real problems and isn't constructive, just divisive. Then, true problem areas such as Defense and Medicare/Medicaid are completely ignored. If we're serious about doing anything about our debt, these are the areas that have to be addressed. If the two major political parties won't do this, then we need someone else. That only leaves a third party to take the reins.

Voting for a third party has other benefits. It also shows politicians that it's not an either/or game anymore which might actually start to change the political discussions. Candidates can lose their positions of power, and we might actually find politicians with the courage to discuss issues that need to be discussed and take the action needed to right this country.
