"If it's not broken, don't fix it."

I was listening to my local radio station which carries news by Fox News.  They had a piece on the LA Senate race with comments from two voters.  One of them said he had made up his mind and his decision was based on the saying "If it's not broken, don't fix it."  That seems to mean he thinks two things:

1. That he has a Senator who is voting on his behalf.
2. He will be supporting Sen. Landrieu.

After hearing that, I couldn't help but wonder what it would take for him to think things were broken? I also wondered what kind of race the Republicans are running.  After all, just a few of the things that someone might think are broken include:

- The national debt is approaching $18 trillion and there is no sign of a balanced budget coming soon.
- Senate Democrats refused to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment in the 112th session.
- The Social Security Disability Trust Fund is scheduled to run out of money in 2016.
- Democrats are waging a "war" on fossil fuels.
- Obamacare has driven up the cost of healthcare for millions of families.
- Millions of more families were kicked off their health insurance plans after Obamacare took effect.

While this is just a small list of the things that are "broken", it seems like there is enough there to make anyone wonder.  Senate Democrats haven't been helping solve these problems. 

So voting for a Democrat for the Senate won't help, no matter how nice they are or how conservative they act.

I wish I could have a few minutes of that voter's time to share some thoughts on this with him!
