I’m having a hard time!!

Published by jameslockwood at 8:19 pm under Kitchen rants Edit This

I’m finding it hard to see the silver lining these days! I have not lost my job, yet! I can almost pay all my monthly bills, and I am healthy!! However I am finding it difficult to be optimistic about the future. I know I’m not alone in this… I just wish We all could come together and find a solution to this mess we’re in!

I don’t want to be a “gloomy gus” but I feel I need to understand a problem, before I can fix it, I don’t understand this one!!!

Trillions of dollars are being spent and nothing is getting fixed!? If the mortgage thing is the issue than fix it! don’t spend the money on “roads to nowhere” or other things, give the money to those who are loosing there homes! If Our economy is based on capitalism, then let the chips fall! I live in California” one of the highest in unemployment” but I’m not whining about it. I am suffering yes, but I understand I have to cut back, and maybe even take on another job to make my rent. If the BIG THREE aren’t making cars people want to buy that’s not my problem.. I don’t see why I’m paying for their bad decisions. I do feel for all those employed by them, but again I think we as a nation can support the workers, without bailing out a dead company. The billions we are giving these dead companies, We could give directly to the worker, and be better off! The fat cat has had it too easy for too long!!

The money the government is expecting me to pay for their mistakes is too much!! I want justice! I want change! I want to be able to say I live in the best country ever! I can’t right now!!

The plan to give me back 30 dollars a month in tax’s is stupid! I’m in debt… that wont help, It wont even cover the intrest! I can’t buy any more with that!! My current budget allows me 5 dollars a day for my cigarettes, nothing more!! If I had to pay for food I couldn’t smoke! A year ago, I could afford a trip to Europe by this time!!

Homeland sucurity is a joke!, these wars were in are a joke!, take care of us first, not someone else!

My rant!!!

James
