I have spent many blogs on the economic problems and lack of jobs problems in the USA. I have spent a few more on the political races, and lack of concern and work of our current politicians in office.I know, I know I can rant, and rave, complain and bitch and it goes unheard and no one listens to a complainer anyway. BUT, FOR GOD SAKE! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE KICK OUR POLITICIANS IN THEIR ASSES AND MAKE THEM DO THEIR WORK!.
Now with that said and out-of-the-way, maybe we can talk of somethings like dreams and hopes, cares and sharing, or even just fun. Too many people grow up here in America with dreams of what and who they want to be and never reach them. The reasons normally are economic conditions, financial non-support, or they just give up too easily. America sorry to say is a society and country spoiled in many ways, by what we had for so long, prosperity. Now we face the sad fact of that being gone and us having to struggle harder to survive and move along. No where else in the world though can you find the same climate, conditions or chances to advance yourself than here.
American society and America as a country is not really done even through it is on a decline like so many great empires in the past. Historically, the Egyptians, The Romans, The Peruvians, The Aztecs in the early days were all great too. But their ultimate demise and collapse all hinged on the type of government they were right? Wrong folks, they all failed to appease the people, they all failed to keep profit rolling along and financial stability!. The same can be said today of America as we slowly slip from power and hand it over to China and others. Sadly as much as we all love our country and what we stand for and the pride we have in it, we are slowly beginning to understand, we have prevented ourselves from competing properly in the global economy. We are a country that undercut its own efforts with what we thought was progress, and are called Trade Agreements. We are hurting because we sacrificed to help others. Believe you me they would never do that to help us. So, while we took the moral and ethical high ground and burned ourselves, they take the lower ground, benefit and run over and around us. We need to fix it for sure, back on out of the damn Trade Agreements, charge them all higher tariffs and taxes on their products.
A Positive point today to see, finally America is pulling back from wars and countries we can not continue to support or fight, or police for others. Our leaving Iraq by the end of 2011 is a great sign. We should also get out of Afghanistan and end our commitments to countries that don’t care about what we do or provide and still hate us anyway. None of these countries we are fighting in today, would ever bother to lend America a hand in bad times, yet we do it because we have a leadership role right?. Well, I say now let China do it and we can come home, save the funding, and our troops lives and repair our own country.
