1. Realize that you are not voting for the savior of the world. If you think you are going to find the second arrival of Christ, Buddha, Yoda, a romanticized version of a deceased president or a character from a John Wayne or Will Smith movie in a politician then you need to go back to your mother and start over.
2. Accept that Washington has no incentive to change, and if you really, really knew why things happen the way they do, you wouldn't complain so much about it.
3. Locate a grade-school level social studies book and learn what your politician can actually do.
4. Stop comparing the economy to your personal home budget. It's a country...not a person. Your attempt to understand a national economy by comparing it to your checkbook is like comparing apples and alligators.
5. Vote for the candidate that you think will do the LEAST amount of damage.
Remember: This country isn't perfect, but we've still got a pretty sweet deal here.
