[Politics] Deficit Schmeficit!!

Well,
I've been rather quiet for quite some time lately going through the ins and outs of life and experiencing things that I had never planned for. Something that has bothered me for far too long and is now starting to "catch up" or "build up" to the point that something MUST be said...

Ok, so the United States national debt is sitting at a cool 7.4 TRILLION dollars right now... That's great. Our government gives absolutely no shit (excuse the language) about its people. I'm not the first person to say this and I won't be the last. We've screwed up. We've put people in place for the last 100 years that have caused so much damage to our country that we'll likely never see a reprieve from it.

To top it off, we've voted in a wolf in sheep's clothing into our White House (as we ALWAYS do) thinking that the crap that they say to get elected is EVER going to get done... Lo and behold, guess what? Estimation for the national debt over the next decade due to all of these fantastic changes in government? 9 Trillion dollars. Ok... So wait... The almighty messiah that was sent from "God" to save the United States from our wicked ways of spending and eliminating checks and balances is going to double the national debt within a decade? A HUNDRED YEARS OF DEBT DOUBLED IN A TENTH THE TIME? This is ridiculous, and this infuriates me. I didn't vote for the guy, do I get a pass on all of the damage he's doing? Hell no I don't.

Until we open our damned eyes and see that this two party "good ol' boy" system isn't going to work we're doomed to deal with these bullshit con-artists that we call politicians. Sure, they give the illusion that the government was created by us; however, the federal government is slowly and sneakily taking away our freedoms to defend ourselves against this building tyrant of government... Tenth amendment? I don't think so... They've already neutered that one because people let them build their own interpretation of it instead of reading it for what it said... Too many people think they can "interpret" the intentions of the Constitution and all they do is bungle it up... The Constitution was put in place to PROTECT US, and these idiots (the voters) are throwing away our own rights given to us to protect us from this.

At first, I thought "Well, whatever. Let's hope he's at least in the middle of where he says he's going to be and where others say he's going to be." Well, guess what... Same snake, different head.

The next thing we'll hear is that the President has suspended elections for an indeterminate amount of time (and yes... he can do this thanks to you idiots voting for the Great American Patriot Act).

Oh, and that health care that you all wanted? Uhh... Yeah... If it's so fantastic, why are their loopholes so that congressmen and the President himself are not required to use it instead of the 100,000 dollar visits to medical clinics and hospitals that house the greatest doctors in the country (which, by the way, the majority of you out there will NEVER be able to go to because they don't deal with us measly "Worker Bees")? It's SO awesome, the people putting it in place don't even want it. Does that not show you something?!

Stop being cowards and stop being sheep... Stop following a party line just because you think that you are Republican or Democrat... Start thinking for YOURSELF and not for what you think everyone else should have. Voting is not to choose what you think is best for everyone else... It's about choosing what you would like FOR YOURSELF. Taxes to help the poor here? AWESOME... Taxes for ANOTHER COUNTRY'S poor? Piss off.

I'm willing to pay taxes for the benefits I receive as a citizen, but now you're stepping on my toes, standing nose to nose while my back is against a fence and behind you is an empty lot and asking ME to give YOU room... No. I don't think so.

Sorry, I usually don't vent out like that; however, this is absolutely absurd and no one in my little world cares about any of this... Why does it matter when you're going to die and not have to deal with it anyways right?

Take care,
B
