Vote Out Politicians That Are Not In Touch With Reality
August 19th 2010 01:14
I gave up this post many months ago as I viewed a dismal economic recovery. I could not help but think...who cares? I felt like writing again even though we still are in economic straits, mainly because I can't believe we are actually worse than when I last wrote. Who could imagine unemployment in the 10% range of people out of work for 18 months, 24 months, or longer. It makes you wonder what would trigger an economic recovery.
In the past I didn't get into politics a whole lot in my posts, but I don't think you can look at the current economy without talking politics a little bit considering the doomed policies and overspending that have put us there.
I used to be the type of person who traded in each car every three to four years for a brand new car. I now have a seven year old car and a five year old car. Those are both old for me, but guess what...I have no interest in purchasing a new car. The last think I need right now is car payments. Thanks to healthcare reform and bailouts, I am expecting that I am going to have to start paying more in taxes to cover those expensive entitlements and bailouts (unless they've added a good fertilizer to those money trees they have in Washington, D.C. -- I mean the kind you buy in the store, not the sh** you get from politicians). I have a son planning to go to college next year too. On top of all that, my concerns about the economy, expected tax hikes, and healthcare reform have forced my husband and I to plan to spend 50% less on Christmas this year than we have in past year. I just have no confidence in what is currently happening to do anything else.
I can understand why consumer confidence is so lower. People know that employers will not increase hiring when they have the healthcare reform hanging over their heads like the Angel of Death. Ready to punish them for not providing huge benefits to all employees. That loss of money means no new hiring.
It's really sad and pathetic that politicians are so far removed from the real world that some Senators, that shall remain nameless, make comments after a vote in their state to opt out of healthcare, that the people are not saying they don't like the bill but that she didn't do a good job of explaining the bill. I'm sorry but that is the most ridiculous statement that I have ever heard and when someone is that out of touch with reality it's time to vote them out of office.
