across this Nation and that is our elected officials are in major denial of is really happening in their Cities and Towns. Optics and Sound Bites are the coin of their little empires,and if don't pay to play,f--you. Our modern Dem Party has and is mirroring the Rethugs by doing the Wall Street Model of money and power over the needs of the Populace. And we wonder why folks stayed home in this last election. When you see a 30% to 10% outflow number of any Population Group. That in it's self should raise red flags as to what is going on.

When talking about families in turmoil,here is a hard number that should scare the crap out of anyone. Clark County Nevada Schools(CCSD) has somewhere north of 300k students,now saying that,here you go,58% of those said students some 178 k are nutritionally deprived(fancy way of saying they don't have enough to eat)and the local Media and Power Structure is lame or plain crickets unless there is a photo op to be had. And the largest Democratic Party Group stayed home during this last election cycle and we lost big time in the House Race as well as in the state races. Scary part,the School Board is for the most part controlled by a group that has their religious agenda.
