What is to Become of America ?

What is to become of America in the near future? The republicans have taken over the House as the democrats continue to control the Senate and now Americans have to face the fact they divided their Congress between the two parties and caused their own gridlock. HealthCare Reform is one thing no President ever managed to get through before although, Clinton tried, then Financial reform is moved through also making some advances for the people of the USA. 

We are stumbling now through hard times and may well go down the tube financially. If the USA fall out of the top and into financial ruin, the world may never be the same that’s for sure. Yet we get immediate fillibusters from the Republicans on all issues, this sucks. America deserves better that’s for sure. The Bush tax cuts have to be kept in a while longer or poor Americans and the middle class will be the ones to suffer and that is already happening so Congress push through an extension soon.  While your at it add another 20 weeks to Unemployment and extend it too, too many people are losing jobs and having nothing to fall back on any more. When will Congress get the message, when China overcomes our economy and takes over as the world leader?

So many different problems face the American people and Congress that it isn’t funny and the Republicans want to hold it all off till after the turn over in January so they can get credit for what ever happens? Stupid thinking if you ask me, Americans need help now you should put it through now and make people happier and healthier and able to stand on their own again. The welfare rolls are going to  grow and so are the homeless roll and hungry rolls. Sadly more Americans then ever before and since the Great Depression are hurting. Lets do something to fix it! We can do two things Congress, 1) we can sit on our hands until January and watch more folks lose their way of life, jobs and homes and go hungry, or you can act now and save Americans from ruin and hunger and homelessness, your choice of course. But if you don’t act, don’t expect election results you want in the near or far flung future.

All of that said, America faces a Christmas and Holiday Season of poorer economic outlook then since the Great Depression. The stores of course retailers countrywide opened their stores and sales earlier this year hoping to make for a better shopping season. The truth is no middle americans, or lower, really care or have the money now or later in December, so the shopping season is going to  be a poor one this year. WHile I wish all a Happy Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas too, I hope our government can turn things around and help all in someway soon.
