hello america!!! i am not going to post numbers or links to this writing. however, i am going to appeal to your common sense, math skills &, loyalty to this great nation....
simply put, our 'entitlements programs' have to be overhauled. there's no getting around it &, the overhauling has been put off for far to long. obama even said it has to be addressed but, where's his plan? the dems run from the subject. the repubs have put forth several plans & got shot down as if they were doing the devil's work. that being said, regardless of who presents a plan to overhaul these programs, you can count on there being plenty of opposition.
america, people are living longer & retiring earlier &, they are collecting their social security benefits (i am a prime example---i filed 3 months before i was to become 62). then you have medicaid & medicare providing the healthcare they need.
with the federal government getting less in taxes because of the jobs situation & the programs having to pay out more-----------something is going to have to be done now or, the next generation will just have to keep on working until they become disabled or die. this is not 'scare tactics'---this is the cold hard facts that the so-called leader of this country doesn't want to share with you. obama won't tell you that if nothing is done to even try to preserve the programs, they will simply pay out until they no longer can &, the dates for that continue to move closer to now rather then the later.
common sense says, if you've been giving your kids an allowance & suddenly you find your hours cut or you lose that job, the allowance will either be diminished or stopped. those things that you wanted to do to your home will be put on the back burner & you'll only do the repairs that are absolutely necessary. however, i know there's somebody out there that will tell me that they are still going to add that extension to the house regardless of the finances.........good people, you know what i'm talking about &, you know i'm right. you also have to bear in mind that gas has gone up, food prices are up, essentials have gone up &, your utility bills have probably gone up..........
our federal government is not managing their fiscal responsibilities as they would if it were their home involved. they are taking in less money &, in spite of this, they want to spend even more. the credit card is already maxed out & they continue to want to borrow more money thus diving deeper into debt. & then, when a credit rating agency comes along & lowers their credit rating, they rant & rave & blame others for their own lack of common sense. they just don't get it! &, what bothers me the most is, when our officials have the opportunity to bring in fresh money, they oppose it.
social security is going to have to boost the ages up to about 69/70 before people can collect or, taxes will have to raised on everybody to some ungodly amount that nobody will like. the other choices will be to severely downsize the federal government or do away with certain agency's. then you have a possibility where you might be able to put your taxes for social security in a private account where the individual controls it---screw it up & you get nothing/allow it to blossom & reap the rewards during your later years.
common sense says you can't raise taxes at this time because the people that are running the show don't have a clue as to what they are doing. yes, it's great that obama wants to open up our markets to those outside our borders but, what good does that do when you can't even afford to buy some of the 'goods' that you really need?
america, we are at the crossroads---obama has been in office for 3 1/2 years & you can't help but see where this country is. you know of family & friends that have lost jobs & all obama wants to do is get them enrolled in his obamacare & give them food stamps::::these are facts...he doesn't want to get you a job unless it's a government job &, his 'stupid' regulations' prove me right.
it seems to me that when americans need help & leadership the most, the so-called leader (obama) is running around the country trying to drum up support for another 4 years...this by itself isn't a bad thing but what is a bad thing is, i ask, what has he done in the 3 1/2 years he has had to improve the quality of life for all americans??? &, don't worry, i'm not going to push you for an answer you never will be able to provide...
OBAMA, IF YOU HAD OF DONE JUST A 1/4 OF THE THINGS YOU PROMISED, I WOULD GIVE YOU MY VOTE OVER ROMNEY, & YES, I AM A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.
