White House Campaign a Diversion?

Today, I am digging into the state of this early political campaign for the White House.  Never before in my memory have there been so many candidates with so much media attention this early.  It certainly seems to be something of a diversionary move by the big corporations, including media corporations.  It is nice to think about who will be in the White House a year and a half in the future, but what about Now?  Who is to feed, house, and clothe the people Today?  With one in five children "food insecure" (read: often hungry), we need a program, now, today.

Would I be thinking economic stimulus?  Yes, absolutely, if that's what you want to call it.  But how about some kind of meaningful jobs policy, let alone a jobs program?  To be fair, I want to do a little research before saying what the current Administration does or does not offer.  But whatever is being offered is not appearing to be anything substantial to the average person.  Of course, I am happy for those with jobs, but not enough have jobs, and those with jobs are not making enough money overall.
I'll be back with more on the Presidential race later, because I love this stuff, as they say.  Yet, let us not be distracted from the business of running the country.
