Will The New Batch Of Politicians Keep Their Promises?
With major changes coming in Washington as well as state and local governments, the difficult task of getting America back on track is job one.
There were hundreds of hard-fought campaigns all around the country.
Lots of promises were made by all candidates.
Now we'll have the opportunity to see who keep their promises.
There will be a bunch of newcomers in the House and a few in the Senate.
But the majority of the next Congress will be made up of incumbents.
The question is will the freshmen come under the beltway spell and fall in with the senior members of the parties?Or, will they fight for a smaller, lower spending, less intrusive government as promised? The American public was upset with broken promises, that's why the balance of power has shifted again in the House and the Senate is almost dead even.
Neither political party pleased the voters.
The Administration did not fare well, either.
Will the ambitious agenda to make major policy changes for America be abandoned in favor of one that places jobs, spending, and debt (which are all relate to the economy) ahead of any philosophical plans?What new or revised promises will the survivors make? Many governor's mansions will be switching occupants.
Will these changes and new faces in many state governments have an effect their financial woes?Of course, along with these switches goes the ability to draw new district lines that always takes place the year after the national census is completed.
This impacts elections for the next decade, including the next three presidential races.
The state and municipal governments will receive a message from the people.
Are the politicians ready to listen as they promised? It won't be long before citizen groups with their own specific needs and wants will be reminding politicians that their voting bloc was instrumental in securing the win.
Unfortunately, even though the 65+ vote was key to many victories, New Seniors are not well-organized, lack a strong message and do not get the media exposure we deserve.
New Seniors represent 12.
5% of the voting population yet delivered more than twice that percentage of the votes in this midterm election.
We are 30 million strong and will grow as the boomers start turning 65 at the rate of one every ten seconds beginning next year.
So our ranks will swell by more than 4 million a year through 2030.
As these folks become New Seniors, they will face the same issues and have the same questions we had when turning 65.
By connecting with each other, addressing our common problems and sharing workable solutions so we can make our presence felt and get the results we need.
