Things to think about as 2011, slowly comes to a close. The 2011 has been filled with many events, and people who have died who are famous or were famous. The biggest thing for Americans is the down fall of the American Economy and it’s very slow or practically unrecovering at this stage.
The American Home Market has fallen in value and resale prices are shot and too low for many Americans to sell what they have. No one wants to lose money on a house they bought and lived in for years and repaired and improved do we? So we struggle thru, repair what we have and hold on, making the best we can of what we have.
The Job Market has not come back at all really. Manufacturing in the USA is dead these days. Companies have either shut down or moved out of country and families are left behind, that are now jobless, hungry and some even homeless. What has America become now is the real question?
Each day I turn on my Television or radio and hear reports of politicians arguing about how to fix the economy, how to create jobs, how to get us out of wars, and how to fix illegal immigration problems. When are they going to get off their asses in Washington and do the job they were voted into office to do? Politicians will be sitting home in their fancy homes, and having big Holiday Parties this Season and handing out large gifts to their families and friends while the rest of America sits home and worries about how to pay their mortgages, rents, heating bills and to eat. Is this the way America was designed to run and is this the country the forefathers envisioned when we became a Republic?
You can’t blame President Obama for all the wars in the world, nor can you blame him for the job loses, and economic mess left behind by his predecessor either. President Obama didn’t change the tax laws, the tariffs and close down factories. Too many times Americans have blames a current President for what the one before them has done and that is wrong. Americans need to understand, finally in this country that what is done by the current congress and current President doesn’t affect us for a few years. What was done by the ones before the current one is what is effecting us now.
The next election will be the 2012 November one, where we must decide to either keep what we have now or change to the opposite party and see what they can do. My opinion is like many others and yes I know, opinions are like assholes and everyone has one. The American people made a hell of a big mistake when they elected a President from one party and a Congress from another and we are now paying the price for that stupidity. Why couldn’t the American people see ahead in time and know that doing so would deadlock Washington, DC, and nothing would get done? Are we that ignorant and stupid that we don’t understand the word gridlock or stalemate, or deadlock?
Well, as we go forward now toward 2012 and we limp to the end of 2011, we need to realize the political system is a system of checks and balances yes, but, when you give the Presidency to one party and the Congress to another you are asking for the bullshit, non-action that is happening now and we need to change it.
So as you celebrate your Holidays and many Americans won’t this year, due to no jobs, no homes, a bad economy and no way to pay their bills, think of what a stupid thing the American people did in 2008. Change it for 2012, lets elect one party and make it work and get something done, get a President you can back and support and a Congress that will work with him or her, whichever it may be. As long as we have a Congress with a majority of one party and a President of another party, America will continue to die off and never get back to where we belong, we will be idle and not growing or improving. We can’t sit here and pass on the cost of our living and bills to our children either, we have to have a way to pay off the bills so the future will be what we were given by our parents and grandparents for our children and their children too. We must act now, and do what is right, we must make the Congress and President work for us. To do so, we must vote out all who won’t compromise, all who won’t work together to better the country and replace them with people who will.
Americans, in 2012 lets remove the trash in Congress that won’t compromise or cooperate, let’s make a change, Vote all of the lackluster Representatives and Senators out, and lets move America Forward once more. We can’t afford to let the fat get fatter, the rich get richer, and the poor suffer more!. We need change now and we need to help ourselves not wait for help!.
