I'm so confused as to where baby-killer Barry O. is coming from when he talks about making it so everyone can get a good education. I thought it was already that way. There are funds aplenty- I repeat, aplenty- allocated in scholarship form, pell grant form, and yes, even pay-back form- heaven forbid- for anyone to obtain these days. So why is it that he keeps pushing the issue about changing the educational system to make it so everyone can afford to go. I know of illegal immigrants who attend college on a free ride whereas my husband and I, our siblings, our friends, etc. all paid or earned our way through college ourselves. We don't have any special powers and none of us came from privileged backgrounds (well, other than being born into the greatest country ever) - so how in the world is it that we were able to make it through college and obtain worthy employment you might wonder- as this is in direct contradiction to what baby-killer Barry O. is preaching these days - we worked for it. Hold onto your shorts, I know that's a crazy idea when there are people who can be taxed (i.e. have their hard-earned money stolen from) whose money can go towards putting some good for nothings into college instead of their own children.
Let me just say that the reason the economy is in the shape it is in is because of the good for nothings that won't get their lazy butts out into society and educate themselves willingly or well and WORK. Pretty simple huh, and I didn't even go to school for political science and have no strong background with policy or issues. Does it make sense to you to go out and get a mortgage with an ARM that will rise as it ages? If you couldn't afford the REAL amount in the first place and had the bad sense to go get into it anyhow, what makes you think you'll be able to afford it when reality strikes? I have friends who'd love to get into a house, but can't afford to right now...so they rent. We need to work the words "can't afford" into the American language because apparently they are currently meaningless. Whenever a commercial came on the radio or TV touting that you don't need credit to get a loan with them I would get so furious - what in the heck do ya think is going to happen eventually when we're lending to people who can't seem to make a good financial decision to save their lives (much less care about what it does to the economy?). It's just like how shoplifters raise the cost of products for the rest of us who've always paid for what we need or want. The problem isn't just the greedy lenders and the presidential candidates both know it. Who wants to be the one to point fingers at fellow Americans and tell them to quit spending/stealing from other Americans with their lousy mathematics and even worse reasoning skills when they're trying to push for election? No, instead let's cop out and point fingers at companies who aren't having to suffer consequences from their stupid lending and could care less - that makes it all better doesn't it?
Baby-killer Barry O. likes to talk about his poor pathetic background and can really empathize with the poor, needy, and humble folk out there - but I think I can do a better job explaining things here but I definitely won't be popular for it or gain the vote of the free-loaders out there as he is. Despite my father suffering an untimely and crazy death I completed high school with great grades and honors courses to boot. I then went on to attend a community college where I was on the Dean's list consecutively via my own hard work (there's that dang word again - sorry if that is getting to harsh for some bleeding hearts out there). I moved to UT where i worked to gain residency and go to college on my own dime (unfortunately I was not clever enough in high school to go after scholarships- though my father's accident and demise and caretaking needs did dissuade me somewhat during that time- but I'll not blame anyone but myself for having to work my way through college and pay for my own education. When my brother and sister were hit by an DRUNK uninsured illegal without a valid drivers license I stepped up and cared for their child for quite a while while they recovered - using their own funds and insurance through the whole process (fyi the illegal suffered a broken ankle, was released from the hospital and NEVER prosecuted despite our attempts to get the legal system to do so - illegals are tricky to catch don't ya know?). I did eventually graduate with my college degree - worked and paid for...hmm....
My husband worked incredibly hard during high school getting perfect grades and earning full-ride scholarships to go to college. After he completed a mission which he had worked hard and PAID FOR himself, he returned to college picking up his scholarship and completing a BS in Electrical Engineering with a near perfect GPA graduating Summa Cum Laude - top honors. He now works hard- at least 50 hours a week to pay our mortgage and provide for his family. We don't use credit that we can't pay off in the same month, we live well within our means, save money with each paycheck for our own retirement, pay for our own insurance, raise our own children, I price match and use coupons religiously, we have modest furnishings and vehicles which are all paid for, we pay a minimum 10% tithing to our church and then 50% of our paycheck goes to the freeloaders and some worthy governmental programs, pay additional on our mortgage each month.... Does my husband gain spiritual, mental, and whatever else fulfillment from setting up electrical systems at poop plants everyday? Um, no and often times he really doesn't enjoy it all that much - but he does it because that's life- it's WORK regularly interspersed with the things that really matter about life- family and fulfilling our Creator's purpose for us - obtaining contentment versus riding wave after wave of passing pleasure and appeasement bringing no good to pass. He is also a Scoutmaster for our church and is often gone as soon as he gets home from work to help make some kid's parent's dreams come true of having an Eagle Scout to their credit (a worthy goal which is also becoming more extinct with society's standards of honor today). Thus, I care for our son very full-time which is hard hard work at times, man it's worth it- but it is work to raise human beings...well to be worthwhile human beings anyhow. Would it be easier for me to do whatever I wanted with my time when I wanted to - HECK YES it would. Are there times when I wish I had more 'me' time - HECK YES - but having a family is what it's all about, not free rides for the life wasters out there. So why do the freeloaders get so many handouts and so much sympathy while we're the ones actively DOING to keep society afloat?
So please tell me some more about how you're going to save the economy baby-killer Barry O. by making education available to the masses (which it already is in gazillions of ways) - but please expound upon your plan somewhat and tell me some about how you plan to get their lazy butts to complete high school so they can take advantage of the opportunity which you so willingly would like to provide to them using my husband's hard earned tax dollars. I love to hear about handing my hard earned money over to these poor forlorn souls who just keep getting kicked down by life and can't do a dang thing for themselves. I just wonder what's going to happen when all of your followers who do currently pay taxes but refuse to populate the world (via murdering babies as well as not having them voluntarily) adequately get old and have no one but my children to pay for your retirement bills.
Hmm...I propose a novel idea- let's place some expectation upon the American people who are looking for free handouts left and right from the big bad CEO's who have worked hard their whole lives to get to where they're at. In fact, in today's address to the people in Indiana he proposed that some of their children might someday be the CEO's running the great businesses (not likely given their free-loader mentality, but let's see where this line of thinking takes us...) so wouldn't that make them the evil doers who are enabling society to function today through jobs and taxes? Rob the rich to save the lazy-a_s poor who put us into this predicament with trying to beat the Jones' and grabbing onto ridiculous mortgages they couldn't afford then getting mad at the 'greedy' companies who laid it out for them to begin with. In fact, the same companies baby-killer Barry O. pushed to hand out sub prime loans to the people who couldn't afford it but wanted to have it all anyway- who now gets to blame greedy companies b/c none of his followers are smart enough to look at his political past to see what he has really been doing this whole time in his political career or otherwise- gotta love it.
Here's my plan to save the economy- make people get off their butts and go do some actual work to contribute to a better society. Give them good credit when they do something to actually deserve it , then let them go out and buy a house at a good rate that they can afford to live in and one day pay off. Of course, that would involve people doing actual work and contributing themselves, which would take away 98% of their complaining time towards the rest of society who doesn't have time to complain, or defend their rights and property b/c they're too busy out trying to create jobs and save the economy from the ruin the lazy good-for-nothings of society keep putting it into. With nothing to complain about and work being done I foresee actual and real changes happening and the economy never falling into jeopardy at the hands of the freeloaders again! Start working and stop trying to find ways to pass heinous and unholy laws to murder babies who would otherwise become taxpayers to save our country in the not too distant future- wow, what a concept.
FYI- to any of you who do read this and make it this far and have more of the freeloader mentality versus the worker's mentality- I do not write for your sake- I write because if I don't get it out of my mind somewhere I'll got mentally insane from the injustice of it- but perhaps it'll make you look into things further to prove me wrong but teach you more in the process, in which case- I'll take it! I watch politics because they are so important in our society but I swear before this election is through I will have a full-fledged ulcer. I absolutely have no stomach or anxiety check for the crazy things that are being proposed or the full-fledged idiocy of baby-killer Barry O's following. I can hand out candy and get simple minds to love me, but who says that candy isn't full of poison. Try going the extra mile to find out more about baby-killer Barry O. and I think you'll change your tune (if you haven't already knowing his feelings towards murdering innocent babies)....again though, that does take work.

Maybe I'm way too optimistic or just way too gullable (and my spelling probably sucks), but I can't believe that everyone on welfare is looking for a free ride, and this comes from experience.
My husband and I were receiving help from the government for a time while he was unemployed and I was working full time. I had two children with horrible medical problems and they needed medicaid and we needed food. The difficult part was when my husband finally did find a full time job, which did not pay enough for me to stop working, we started crunching numbers and realized that we would actually come out on top if he didn't work.
And there in lays the problem. I think that maybe it's not necessarily that the majority of people are lazy, it's that the system is set up in such a way that it's sometimes better to stay on welfare than to find a way out.
For the record, my husband took the job, and we went massively into credit card debt to cover the medical bills that were coming in and we are just now months away from crawling out from under that debt. We made the decision to do it that way, but I can completely understand the reason why others would not choose our path.
The system definitely needs to be changed, but I have no idea how or where to start, which is probably why I'm not running for president.
You are very apparently not a freeloader Marybeth- hate to break it to you. Hard times knock everyone down at some point or another and we have to get ourselves back up and trudge on. I'm referring to the people who keep demanding more and more from the people who've worked hard to get to where they're at. Obama keeps talking about how he's going to show the big companies and greedy rich people that they can't have everything but at the same time isn't willing to expect his supporters to be worthy of the compensation or benefits he claims he can provide them with.
I'm not necessarily referring to people on welfare here - I'm referring to the legions of people who boo hoo about how they don't make as much as the rich and the rich should be the ones to be punished with taxes and have to make the world better - though there are very admittedly problems with our welfare programs when it comes to perpetuating its use by 'repeat offenders'. My sister works for the state as an auditor and is responsible for auditing the records of the agencies who dole out this type of help to people who continually make decisions that will keep them on welfare and away from work. Some of them may be people who really can't handle work, but who makes that call or helps them find a better way to live instead of repeatedly sticking a band aid on them?
It's hard to stick to your morals when the government sets up programs that would have you living more of a life of luxury on its programs than you could provide for yourself- but if we all fell for it there'd be no way to keep the program going- that's where socialism comes into play so horribly. I'm not running for President for the same reasons you aren't- I'm not nearly educated enough but I'm trying to become more so. In the meantime I expect those who are running for President to be able to propose something much better than is currently on the table.
I'm a reformed poor spender myself- I was so due to the many trials that have come into my life- after my father's death I was very depressed, didn't work and fell behind on bills and went into debt. Then later when I had to pause school to take care of family but didn't have income to pay the bills I'd already accrued I went into debt again. Due to my husband's influence I have been able to come a long way with my own spending and worked very hard to whittle it away. It's great that you guys took the higher road and are so close to being free of the debt chains. If only more people were like that. I worked for Wells Fargo sub prime mortgage lending for awhile before I had my child and saw the majority of people who needed the services (mostly the horrible ARM loans) were due to wracked up credit debt. They'd refinance to get a better rate and have the debt paid off sooner than paying the exorbitant rates they had otherwise- then sure enough the very next year or so they were right back in our office wanting to do the same process again - more credit debt. The cycle was ugly and never ended for them b/c of easy lending and not being responsible to say no to credit when it was offered. There are many to blame for our current economical situation, but where are those who opted to get these ARMS in the first place- they're going to get bailed out by the government. How fair is that? My sister related the same sentiment to me that you have- she said, "Man, I should go out and get an ARM loan right now and let it come to foreclosure then I'll get bailed out and get to keep the house cheap and easy". I really don't think hers is a unique idea- the only thing that works is for everyone to have to take responsibility for their actions. No one learns or benefits when the government rescues 'the greedy ones' with hard earned money of those of us who are trying our best to live and work hard - no one.
Sorry- I'm actually more normal than I sound- I get so Ralph Nader when it comes to politics....well, and pretty much anything I feel strongly about I suppose. But I think that if more people got more passionate and informed on the issues maybe next election we can demand better candidates and expect more from society and each other.
I don't think Socialism is the answer, and that is what Obama is pretty much saying, rob from the rich to pay for the poor. We all have hard times, but I am with you. We paid for our schooling by scholarships, working 2 jobs, and even a small loan. I believe if you just give something to people, they won't pay you back, they just expect more of it. But Look at how the church has helped hundreds of people get an education. I think the perpetual education fund the church founded was great. Lend a small amount of money, help someone better themselves, have them pay it back, and then re loan it to someone else who wants to better themselves.
Also, if we are the subject of politics. Not that I make a billions bucks, but 90% of our taxes come from the wealthy, if you start taxing them more, they are going to start "hiding" their money in foreign markets, they will stop spending here in the states, but take their money, where it won't be taken from them and unfortunatly that is out of the U.S. and that will trickle down to all of us. What happened to the American Dream? I hope people will See Obama for what he is... a Socialist, who is all about BIG government, but if people are stupid enough to vote for him... well they made their bed and they can sleep in it.
I'm with ya Kelli! Too bad if and when Obama is elected we'll all have to be sleeping in 'that' bed! Goodbye to physicians and nurses being able to turn down performing abortions for moral reasons, or parents being notified when their children wish to go get an abortion after they've been conned into it by the good people at planned Parenthood - not much planning goes into this type of murder- what a joke.
I guess since socialism is working so well for other countries baby-killer Barry O. thinks we should institute it here as well- meanwhile my sister-in-laws mother is awaiting a very serious surgery (she could die in the meantime as it takes near a year to obtain) from Dr.'s who keep misdiagnosing her b/c they could care less about ambition anymore since they're all 'equal' anyway. I think if baby-killer Barry O. could actually get everything instituted that he has so foolishly and ignorantly promised - money won't be the only thing trickling out of this country- me and the other hard working principled thinkers will leave taking our tax dollar paying hands and skills with us! I say we all go to Mexico, kick that fool out of government and start over there! Let's switch things up shall we?
You made such a great point with just saying, "What happened to the American Dream"? Too many bleeding hearts who are suckers for a good drama are literally killing ambition and 'the Audacity of Hope' for us good guys!
