Hope? No...just another asshole.
The plan to assist people with their student loans...is not getting them jobs or creating jobs for them. It's to have everyone in the country pay off the loans. (adding a tax onto pay checks from what I heard. Hopefully this will be done AFTER the depression we're in is over.)
the $700 billion relief package that hasn't even started getting used...is apparently too little so another $300 billion is being scrounged for in the couch cushions of the nation.
The stimulus package which was supposed to be a 1 time thing, that didn't work as intended originally...is trying to be put out again...like it would change this time around.
$300 in a time of need...does not stimulate the economy. It goes to pay off existing debt or is put in the bank. What did I do with it? Put it in the bank. What did my mom do with it? paid off a credit card. It's nuts. Mostly because when we get the $300...we silently know that we have to give the money back, with interest. We're not getting a free gift. That $300 is probably going back with $800 of it's siblings back to the government before the year is out anyway.
Finally...yet another reason I did not want all 3 sections of the government pwned by 1 party...because this is douchebaggery at it's finest with this thought...
The government would like to take control of your 401k plans! Yes, the retirement funds that we put money in ourselves by setting aside a chunk of change from our jobs because Social Security is a fucking joke and will be out of money to give in the next 10 years...if that long.
Um...fuck you no. I put it in a bank, not a fucking government bond for a fucking reason. I don't want the government TOUCHING that money, because as soon as they do, they're going to realize "well...since nobody is using the money right now, it's like we have an untapped asset, and we can do pretty much whatever we want with it so long as by the time everyone hits the retirement age...even if we lose some money it'll be fine nobody will notice too much..."
fuck that shit. What's mine is mine. Fix the country's problems with what you have, and stop trying to steal. Jesus...the man who said, "Don't steal. The government doesn't like competition" was correct.
Oh and just so everyone knows in case you haven't heard already...the day after Obama got elected, several newspapers, and news stations already started explaining how even though he SAID he'd fix the problems with the country, solve international problems, save the kids from the orphanage from the evils of pedo-bear, and do all this good shit...He won't be able to because apparently the republican party (which is in no way shape or form able to reasonably put up a fight against anything the democrats do at this point) has fucked things up so much (which...is pretty much a lie.) and that even though they staked their credibility on everything Obama said and they didn't fact check because, well...he's Obama thus there is no need to fact check a politician for anything...it's all the republicans fault for everything bad that has ever happened and will not change for the better in the country.
Ok...seriously? The day after the election I actually found a news article that the entire thing just explained why Obama won't be able to do anything he promised during the campaign. The day after I was watching the news, and the only station that was really just semi-positive about him being in office was Fox News...which is just weird if you think about it...the rest were kinda talking down...probably because now that they succeeded in their coups...they put the guy in office that they wanted...and they weren't thrilled by getting what they wanted...now things are starting to balance out because they can talk about what dog he's going to adopt for the white house...though it has to be a SPECIAL dog because his daughter is allergic to the dander or some fucking thing.
Seriously...you know what would've happened if I was allergic to dogs or cats in my house? I'd be put up for adoption or left out on the highway to die. To hell with the kid, get a fucking dog that you like.
