Depression.

In case you haven't noticed, we still are in a depression.  There's no denying it. And it's going to take a longer than two years for it to go away.  Anyone with a brain should know this.  It's not rocket science, people!  The thing I don't understand is they let one person spend 8 years fucking the country up, but they expect one to make it better in 2 years.  I hate to inform you, but nobody's that damn good.  Not even the first black President.  Don't get me wrong, he's better than the first first grader President, but we need to give him a little time here.

If you don't believe me then let's think for a moment shall we?  How many times have you spent days, weeks, months, or years following the wrong thing or trying to do something that ended up not working out?  I bet it took longer than 2 days to get things back the way that it should be.  Why do people think that the economy is going to magically fix itself over two years when nobody it's letting the man do the things that need to be done? It takes more than one person to fuck up a nation, so it safe to say that it takes more than one person to make it better.

Every time he's tried to do something that would help the country he's gotten stopped in his tracks because other parties didn't give him the chance.  But they let Bush do whatever he wanted which ended up screwing us all.  Am I the only one who remembers this?  Let's take health insurance.  That's something that everyone should have because everyone's going to need to see a doctor at some point in their lives.  There's was one person protesting against it with a sign that said "Keep your government hands off my Medicaid." Where the hell did he think it came from?  The current government isn't really trying to help.  They just want power back.  Did you people forget that these are the same people that gave the big banks money when they screwed up?  We, the tax payers, had to help out big banks because they wanted to keep their jets, fancy cars, swimming pools, and big houses. 

Do you really think those banks are going to help you out when you get laid off and need help paying your house payment?  No, they're not!  They're going to take your house, your car, and your money.  They don't give a damn about the people that have accounts with them.  But they were given billions of dollars because they're weren't smart enough to do look at if a person could pay for the loan.  If they weren't smart enough the first time, then there's nothing stopping them from doing that again.  Why? Because they didn't learn anything the first time.  They were bailed out and didn't even receive a slap on the wrist.  Our money bailed them out and look at what's happening now? 

Instead of bailing out people who have billions of dollars to their name people should think more of the people who actually pay to support the country.  I personally don't see the need to give a billionaire tax cuts.  Tax cuts should be given to the people who have no money to their name and trying to raise a family.  People who DON'T get money from the government.  More and more people are getting help from the government every year.  I don't mind helping people in their time of need, but those programs are suppose to be temporary.  It's not suppose to be a life career.  Most of the people on those programs aren't looking for a job, or going to school so they can better themselves.  They are content with living off the money that are taken from tax payers for the rest of their lives.  They get approved for these programs with nothing more and a check stub stating they have no job.  If I have to have a background check and take a drug test to get a job and a random drug test while working my ass off, I think people who get government assistants should be made to take those same test.  I don't see the problem is making sure the people are getting money from tax payers are spending that money on what they're suppose to.

Okay, I feel better now.  I will stop bitching.
