Today is Sunday and we are a total of five days away from Thanksgiving here in the USA. To many across the world, this holiday as we Americans call it, is a day of feasting, and family, gathering and in most homes laughter and joy. Not every American experiences this every year, for many are still homeless, hungry, and unable to afford a big meal to celebrate. Sadly it is true in America people are hungry, homeless, and willing to work for food, because there are no jobs left for them to work. What has become of the great American Dream? It seems that not even our leaders are doing anything to get it back either, sad huh?.
As we close in slowly this week on this holiday, and give Thanks for what we have, we should think about the ones who have not. Our Representatives and Senators and even our President, should stop and take a few seconds to think about the ones without a Thanksgiving Dinner, without a roof over their heads and standing on the roads, holding up signs Will Work for Food!. Maybe they need to be the ones to replace these people and give them a break.
The day after Thanksgiving will start Black Friday and shopping sprees right? Well, I think as Americans who have a Congress that won’t do a damn thing to help us, we need to boycott Black Friday. Surprisingly, what many stores and owner do not realize is you can’t keep building stores and Malls if no one has any money to buy things in them. Wake up, the retail market will not replace the blue-collar market for jobs. You can’t pay people who make items in factories, 8 to 10 dollars an hour and make them serve customers. It doesn’t work folks, stop building malls ok.
For today, November 20th, 2011, is indeed a day we should think about before we sit down on Thursday and eat our Thanksgiving Dinners. The big committee in Congress The Super One is supposed to cut Trillions from the budget and make the hard decisions, soon. If they don’t make the cuts needed, they won’t suffer as much as the rest of us will they. Someone has to make the cuts needed in order for us to keep going, wake up Congress and Super Committee, get it done!.
America is quickly becoming a country closely resembling the Blue-Collar Comedy acts of Larry The Cable Guy,Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy. The simple jokes about stupidity,economic woes and silly, stupid people reminds me of Congress, unable to accomplish anything with the exception of being laughed at. Sad isn’t it?
The Super Committee needs to do its job and stay away from Social Security as it is now, leave Medicaid alone and remember people who are hurting and need these programs are not the ones to ask to make up the difference for your deficit. Things like taking medication from a depressed person because they can’t pay for it, in the end it will come back and bite ya in the ass!.
The Super Committee wants to make cuts, then cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives. Halve their salaries and make them work longer hours and then cut their medical benefits and social security and lets see what happens then. I bet there will be panic and pissed off people in Washington then!. Wake up folks, we all have to make sacrifices I agree, but be real where they should be mad. The rich should pay more they have more, as Warren Buffet said, I make it, so I should pay more taxes on it, period. Get the cash from the rich who have it and let them pay their fair share for a change.
That is my rant for this Sunday November 20th,2011. The Thanksgiving holiday is now upon us, people are having a hard time getting a Turkey, because they can’t pay for one. Remember for each one who sits at a table on Thanksgiving Day with family, there are others who sit in soup kitchens and in boxes on streets for homes. Stop and say thanks for what you have and help an American who needs it too. God Bless.
