Our economy appears to be at the bottoms, or close to it. The nation’s confidence in Barrack Obama is shaken. Our industries have taken a huge hit as well as our nation’s image in the world’s eye. Rattles and clangs have appeared in America’s ideologies. Not since the 1970’s has our great country seen such a shock as our current situation. It seems as if the light at the end of the tunnel has been shot out and removed.
The real deal is that things are not as bad as they could be. What will it take for American’s to realize that drastic changes have to be made around here. For our childrens’ America to be the glorious nation that we have claimed to be for so long, we need to prove once again to the world that we are supreme in our essence, the key to the future of the world, and the strongest/smartest nation on earth. I watch everyday as people whine and cry, “Don’t spend up all the money!, Don’t take money from me!, Don’t let them do that, it will cost me too much.” Don’t, don’t, don’t! This nation was founded by people who gave up everything for the dream. How many of them said, “Don’t do that!”?
I think we have this huge problem with change. Such a huge problem that it has become more an issue than many of the problems we deal with nowadays. Noone wants to give up anything for their “beloved” country. They want to keep everything the way it is unless they are of the minority-the unemployed, those with no healthcare coverage, those impoverished by lack of education and lack of resources with which to fix said problems. So keep on keeping all that you have. While you have it. When you no longer have a job, or a car, or a family doctor, or a roof over your head, and noone cares, maybe you will understand what it is to give up something for the greater good. Until then good luck for your bad Karma;)
Keep buying cheap foreign-made things, keep hoarding anything we can, keep on bitchin’ about anything rather than taking action, keep making more rules to protect the feeble-minded, keep doing things the way we have always done them. Keep doing things this way and we will no longer be able to say we are Americans who are Free.
What will it take to again make America the nation that all others aspire to become? Remember the fact that your neighbor may not be as well off as you. Just because your pockets are lined, doesn’t mean that the person living next to you even has money with which to eat. Quit being so greedy. Oh, and calling the President a socialist because he wants your neighbor to have the things that you have is not the way to go about affecting change. I am not saying that the things he is doing are all right, but he has a mountain of trash to dig through in order to find any solutions at all. I can not believe that we are so set in the old ways of processions that new, life altering, society changing, social bar bending ideas can be so quickly dismissed. Personally, I feel the “cash for clunkers” deal is raw. That money should ahve to be spent on American made products and only American made products. Why give other countries the opportunity to profit from us while we are in a down economy? However, there is a method to the madness and pure math is the root of the deal. Fixing the math in the equation of the moment may help to clear out paths for solutions to other problems we face. The only thing it will take to truly fix our current economic rut is to buy American, be American, love your fellow Americans! But, hey, what the hell do I know anyway?
