I'm going to apologise ahead of time to those of you on my friends list who are hard core republicans who absolutely love the President. I've been silent on political issues for awhile now, basically because I had assumed crash positions. I knew things would get a whole lot worse before things got better.
Well, here we are. Welcome to worse.
I remember in the 2000 elections, the biggest thing we were worried about was how Democrats had made the country morally bankrupt. Well, congratuations. It's 2008, and our country is literally bankrupt. I feel like we're between a rock and a hard place here. We don't want the financial system to fall apart, but in order to keep it from doing so, the government has to give big corporations money... but when you're Trillions of dollars of debt, where are you getting this money? Additional debt upon debt that taxpayers will have to pay for.
That's right, we will be paying for it, for the rest of our lives, our children's lives, and possibly our grandchildren's lives. You don't want higher taxes, but you don't say boo to the government spending lifetimes beyond their means?
Take my taxes. Take my refund. Keep your economic stimulus check. Put the money where it's needed. And quit spending more on top of it.
Someone, take away the government's credit card, please. Cut it up and throw it away.
