Everyone realizes this "debt" deal is bullshit, right? It's just been political grandstanding that we all new was going to go on until the last minute, right? Does anyone seriously believe that somehow, according to "studies", the government will cut spending back by $2.1 trillion over ten years?
Fuck ten years. Let's start with significant cuts next year.
Let's all accept the honest truth. The debt ceiling has been raised. In two months, this whole episode will be forgotten by the public and out of control spending will continue. Bamboozlement.
It is what we thought it was. :-|
spending cuts and no revenues...and the folks who supported this route still bitch and moan...
A few suggestions to start:
1. When shopping, avoid Wal-Mart: 70% of the crap in WM is made in China. So, from now on look at the tags before you buy and make sure what you purchase is MADE IN THE USA.
2. Forget chains and support family businesses.
3. Go green. Support a new, American industry
4. Help each other out. Don't be a gluttonous, selfish pig. Save that for CEOS and Wall St.
5. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.
6. Get off your ass and do something. Make your voice heard. This country is incredibly apathetic and lazy. It makes me physically ill. Seriously.
That's all for now. Rant over.
^ Right here. Well said. It's time to realize that every day we vote with our wallets and our decisions to take action or not to take action. People need to stop relying on the legislative process when it is proven time and time again that even the most well-intentioned laws still find ways to benefit certain groups of people at the expense of others.
I would add more number to that list: 7. Help those in need whenever and however you can.
Power to the people. I think in our endless pursuit of material wealth and "stuff" we forgot what it is to be a responsible, compassionate, cooperative society. I'm not sure when this started, but I don't see an end in sight.
Anyway, Bernie Sanders is speaking on the Senate floor now, I gotta go....
