Economy

The economy in our country is the most difficult thing to deal with. There are the right wing conservatives that blame everything on President Obama and his liberal views. I really do not believe that there can be that many ignorant people in this country that did not notice the change in the economy that happened under George W. Bush. When our former President Bill Clinton left his presidency the country was in a surplus. Everyone chastised him for his adultery but that does not compare to what Bush did. He hid behind the events of 9-11 and people just ignored what he has done and how he has lied to the people. Do people not notice that over the 8 years of his presidency we went into a deficit and then our banks fell apart. People forget that it was the Republicans that kept pushing for the bank bailouts and now that they got them they blame President Obama. Are people that ignorant well at least that explains why our economy is in such a mess. I never believed in the banks being bailed out. They make enough money and I am sure they still have a lot of money since they have enough to pay large sums to their top executives. Why are people not asking the wealthy to help out? Why is it that they do not get affected but the middle class and the poor need to restore our economy? Will we be able to get out of this? I am sure we will get out of it but the wealthy will remain wealthy and the middle class, which is the one that gets affected the most, will just get poorer. I am tired of this and hearing the Republicans (not all but the majority) blame it all on the Democrats and not willing to comprimise. Yet this is also what frustrates me because the Democrats will compromise when they should just act the same way as the Republicans and not cave in. Why are they the ones that should get what they want? That is why we are in this mess because we allowed the Republicans and the wealthy do whatever they wanted and hide behind their religious views. If they were really religious then they would not let greed (which is one of the deadly sins) rule the way they operate but it does and they will not compromise. What ever happened to separation of church and state since they do like to throw our constitution out there whenever they begin to lose a bit. And we the people just eat it up. Seriously, we can't think for ourselves or do our own research. Then what is the use of having the internet at our fingertips?

I am just a bit frustrated and tired of listening to all this nonsense. Nothing gets on my nerves more than ignorant, greedy people. What I do not understand is why do we believe what they say? Why are people claiming President Obama is a socialist when we do not even have the slightest idea of what a socialist government is and why are we not prosecuting George Bush and asking him what the heck did he do to our economy? All of it went downhill when he became President and yet people still elected him for a second term. What a shame Republicans have noone to blame but themselves yet they still find a way to blame Democrats.

Also I am sick and tired of people talking about illegal immigrants and referring to Mexico when they say that. Look illegal immigrants come from different countries not just Mexico. There is nothing we can do about illegal immigrants we can try to deter them a bit but it will not stop them from entering our country. They are not stealing anyones job, if you want a job go get one. That means you apply anywhere even at McDonald's. If you need money you get it from any place that is willing to give you a job until you find the job that you want. I am sure it is not what you want, it will not pay what you want, and you probably have a college degree but stop complaining that illegal immigrants are taking your job they are not you just need to leave your sense of entitlement behind and get whatever job is available. I always think of what Charlie told me that we do not have the right to anything we just have the priviledge to live in a country in which men and women have given their lives to be part of our military and have fought many wars in order for us to have what we have. The majority of us cannot say we are entitled to what this country has to give us because we would not be willing to join the army, marines, navy, or any branch of the military we are just privilidged that others have done it for us. Therefore people need to stop whinning about illegal immigrants stealing our jobs yet again we need to go back to those companies that are greedy and will do whatever it takes to gain more profit while stealing from the lower classes. Besides illegal immigrants do not even need to come to this country the companies are taking the jobs to those countries because they do not have to abide by the rules in the United States. How is that for irony.
