Right....so when you were saying Obama doesn't do anything....you really meant your party won't let him do anything, whether good or bad.
That is beside my point. The president always gets the blame (or praise) for fiscal policies, spending, the economy, etc. The truth is, Congress writes the checks, makes the laws, and has a lot more to do with fiscal policy than does the president.The president has become a very effective distraction to the American population. Add to the the trend towards polization of the population by extremist-talking politicians, and you get a popular consensus that is very misinformed.
We have high dropouts because students are too lazy to do the work to earn the degrees. I did the work, and earned two degrees while I watched people drop out left and right because it was "too hard" or it cut into their social time too much. Now I'm on course to make $80,000 this year and I have to sit and listen to people bitch about how they want a cut of what I earned because they can't quite make ends meet. Please.... I learned in preschool I'm not supposed to take from other people what isn't mine. Somewhere along the line some people forgot that.
You are one of the few exceptions. In this case it was not directed towards Democrats or Republicans. It is simply stating how most of everyone else is doing better than the almighty U.S.A. Balance is inevitable and this country is not balanced. Some will get slapped harder than others when things get balanced out. What side of the hand will you be on?
You won 4 years of gridlock. Congratulations. Honestly I don't mind having a civil, intelligent conversation and I don't hate anyone for having a different political view as long as you are sensible and have some reasoning and understanding behind it. It's when I see posts like this that I assume you are like these people:
I agree, the inequality in trade between our countries and the growing level of debt is not good. Guess what the Asian markets did right after election night? They went up while our own tanked. That should tell you something right there.
I say balance is inevitable b/c well....it is. It is all around us. It helped form the galaxy as we know it. It's what keeps our earth in orbit. As human beings it is our nature to throw things out of balance. We like to feel like we are in control when we really aren't. Like a rubber band, we will pull and stretch what we can out of balance until it either springs back. Might take years might take months. I'm saying money should be the least of your worries. Takes a lot more than a fat paycheck to make me happy and I would never put my life on the line for a green piece of paper. It is worth more than that.
