My entire family works for the government either in the military or in the ship yard for the navy. So when the Obama administration so casually says they will withhold payment for work being done for the government it makes my blood boil. Especially when I am on the verge of becoming enlisted myself in the military. What angers me more than anything is Obama is telling congress to get this fixed and make sure the government doesn't close. Let us step back a moment and figure out why we are in this situation in the first place. Obama ran against bush, for spending too much on the war and "trickle down" economics. Fine. So if he is so against war spending then why does he increase troops in afgahnistan and bomb libya because the UN says so but without the permission from congress. (Which he wouldn't have gotten) But let us forget all of that and focus on what he really did. A health care bill that was supposed to give health care to people who do not have it and so people can stay insured longer. Fine. Can we atleast read what the hell is in this bill before we make it law? No!? Let us make it law so that we can "find out" whats in the huge bill that would take months to look through. How bout that bail out and then the stimulus package, how are your pockets doing? Really thick right about now- right? No!? Well, so none of those have worked and as far as I can tell he has spent many times over what he insulted Bush for doing. So what was his plan again? Change!? Yes, the change you will have in your pocket because you spent all of your dollars on food that is one and a half to one and a third of what it was before Obama took office. Don't worry though, there will be no inflation and taxes? There won't be any increases...nope if you aren't rich then you will be great! Right?!
You tell me.
