IS IT AN ISSUE OR A PROBLEM (Life is not an issue it's a problem "P", unless you believe it's only an issue "I")

from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

My biggest problem is listening to everyone, including my family, calling a problem an issue.  What's the difference anyway? Well look at the definition of a problem (a life changing incident that needs to be avoided or solved by change with facts and resolution) and Issue (a disagreement between two or three entities, human or otherwise, that disagree on an argument affecting both parties and not requiring facts or a solution).  In politics, since that's where such propaganda starts, the art of compromise is the justification for calling problems issues and reforms as the goal is to go along to get along.  As Sam Rayburn taught LBJ ... "if you want to get anywhere your way, go along to get along".  In other words, fake the problem into an issue that doesn't require an action unless you decide it's a problem for your solution.  Aha, so that's what's happening in our country with a gridlocked Congress, a frustrated society so woke being the word of the day further corrupts rational, common sense thought, so the followers are following followers into subservient conclusions.  That is the personality of an Oligarch (where a small group decides truth and human behavior) consisting of 100 Senators, 435 Congressmen, 9 Supreme Court Justices and 1 President.  Following is my test of your preferences as designating the topic as a problem or an issue. Mine are based on our gridlocked political system that isn’t interested in solving problems just passing laws that continue to erode our freedoms and cause social wars, financial jeopardy and conflict despite your political party preference:                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Guns in society    P or I   Sex on TV  P Vulgarity in our schools P Elimination of prayer in schools P Congress  P Federal and State budgets P Taxes in 46 different categories  P Inflation and depression P Weak Dollar in the World P China P Culture of Violence  P Disinformation and fake media P Freedom of speech P Supreme Court  P Voting irregularity P American's health and welfare P Two-party politics  P Capitalism  P Socialism  P My point is we as the enterprising Americans who pay all the bills for the wealthy individuals and corporations are being lied to by using the word issue whenever we know it’s a problem needing a solution. If you feel this way stand up for a real third party that represents you, as the swing vote in Congress and legislatures across America, to unlock the gridlock for the betterment of all Americans.
