As the leaves start to change color here in Northern New York, it gets me thinking that wouldn’t it be great if our country could change, too. Maybe we can. My name is Jared Pixley and I am running for president in 2028.
I just uploaded a video to Youtube about the recent news coming out of the CDC with Susan Monadez’s firing and the wave of resignations. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg6HSOTaBY0 In short, I think it is bad. If I were in office, I would ensure that we had a director of the CDC and a Secretary of HHS that was trained in medicine and knew how to help the people.
A few other recent thoughts that I have had include the news from the Fed. The Federal Reserve System needs to be an independent agency as they influence the economy. The value of the dollar, inflation, and the economy is volatile. Members of the Board of Governors are appointed for a fourteen year term, so they serve longer than a president does and have no loyalty to the man in the Oval Office. If the president were able to alter the value of the dollar on a whim, to make it stronger in order to win reelection, it could ultimately do more damage in the long run. It is so easy to cause a recession.
Someone online messaged me claiming that the US has not deported any American citizens. I did a quick search to provide links to news stories to prove my points and found a Wikipedia page titled “US Citizens Deported by Trump during Second Term”. He has deported so many citizens that they made a Wikipedia page about it.
The final thing that I want to discuss today is the problem with the two party system. We can see it every day. Over the last twenty or more years, experts have studied Congress and how many bipartisan bills are introduced. The number has been decreasing year by year, thus suggesting that there has been less cooperation between the parties year by year. The gulf between has grown, the fighting between parties has become more visible in the news, and the two sides have become more extreme. Each election cycle it has become more important to them to win the supermajority so that they don’t need the help from the other party and then they can push their party’s platform, regardless of what the people actually need. We can see this in the Supreme Court right now and all the laws and precedents that they have overturned. We need more independents and third party members in Congress to break up the majorities and force people to reach across the aisle. People to serve as a bridge between the parties. Let’s get the Green Party a seat or two and the Working Families Party and the Reform Party.
Thank you all for your time. I will see you here again next month.
