I think if we can ALL put politics aside. Talk about these issues. Debate them. (which is what made this country so great) Compromise. (which there is NONE of anymore. again, "I didn't do it he did") WE as a people could have this worked out pretty quick. But we keep sending politicians with an agenda (which is mostly always about them, not us) to represent us. This is not a particular party disease, some have it worse than others. Some people don't want to believe that theirs is just as bad as mine. Sometimes, like today, they are even worse. I've been called a racist for not supporting a socialist president. HOW SO? I've always tried my hardest to judge a man (person for those who insist on politcal correctness) by his character. I don't see any. I see a very confused, very weak leader, who is ruining our country, our economy, and our way of life. Its not a personal attack on the man. I don't know him personally. Anyone notice the G20 summit last week? Europe of all places turned their backs on him. Why? They're broker than we are. And he wants to keep spending and spending and spending. Actually its borrowing and borrowing and borrowing. From whom? People who hate us actually. And when they call the note due, then what? You think we're in rough times now just wait. Our grandkids won't be able to pay back just what this administration has borrowed let alone what the last one borrowed.
The Revolution was ALL of us with our differing opinions fighting exactly what we're up against today, except now its our government instead of England. Our Constitution took a long time to work out. Compromise, debate, and listening to differing opinions. Now they want to throw it out or treat as a "living" document. A WHAT? Thats just political speak for "I don't like this part so lets throw it out".
Whats happened to Patriotism? Country first. (after God and Family of course) MY COUNTRY FIRST!! I'm not disrespecting anyone from another country. I would expect the same furvor from them about their country. Too many people living here could care less about their country, just send me my "Obama Check".
BTW I AM A LEACH! I am a State employee. I am a leach on the taxpayers. But someone has to keep the lights on and the alarms working at the prison. (which is brimming) You should see the looks I get from co-workers when I tell them I don't want a raise. Who's going to pay for it? How much of your check are you willing to give up? I do NOT make much money. I have enough. More of us should have "enough".
