I have been feeling very disappointed in our government for quite a long time, and also the attention of the people of this country. Too many times our congress men and women, and senators, follow their own interests and those of the ones they have in their pockets (though they deny it) and pass laws that hurt those in this country that can least afford it. In this instance I am speaking on the law that was just passed to balance the country's budget on the backs of our retired and disabled veterans (an easy fix in their minds?) reducing their retirement benefits by 1% a year for the next 10 years.
I am not a learned person when it comes to these things, but this to me is just out right wrong. I suppose it would be easy to say just pull money from the retirement benefits of those that have served in the congress and senate so they would know how it feels. But I don't believe this is the answer either. It is kind of like rubbing a dog's nose in their urine after they have peed on the floor, they never learn from it.
So what is the answer to this debacle? Action... the action of we who work hard for the money we make, who work hard to pay the bills, put food on our tables.... work hard to be responsible.
But here is where I feel disappointed in the people of this country, for it doesn't happen. We are more worried about idiots in Hollywood and the things they say, more worried about watching the current shows that degrade and debase people than paying attention to what is going on in our own government, and I will say this strongly... IT WOULD NOT MATTER WHO IS OUR PRESIDENT, BE THEY DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN.....
The problem is with us, we need to stop watching and paying attention to crap and things that bring us down as a people and start standing up for our rights once and for all..... Vote all incumbent senators and congress out of office. We need to start with a clean slate and let them know WE WILL NOT stand for them to sell out our country on the backs of the people who put them there and pay their salary. Just like in the real world, if you don't or won't do the job well, your fired!
