Is it just me, or does President (in a couple of days) Obama seem more...presidential lately.
I read a lot online, and find it interesting that several more liberal news outlets (I use the term news only because calling them online gab sources seems harsh) have started sounding alarmed that Obama has such a moderate view of things. I dont particularly think asking Congress for $850 billion ($0.85 trillion) dollars is a moderate thing to do.
Why can government believe in borrowing money to get out of debt, but real people trying to do that are likely to end up asking for bankruptcy...its like when i was in college, I had checks in my check book, and figured I would have the money soon, so I wrote checks for my books and stuff, only to find that the money I was expected didnt show up...and i was referred to the police for being a crook!
Thankfully the DA decided i was a stupid college student, not a professional check passer, and i was able to pay off my debts, without jail time...
Now however the government is asking us to how we pay enough taxes to balance the books in 15 years or so...I hope to be retired by then, so who pays my share???My daughter and her husband?
The first part of this discussion, about Obama, was sparked by a photo comparison i saw, the day he went ot the White House for a breifing with Bush...he was happy looking going in, and really bummed looking coming out...like maybe Bush told him about the bad people in the world that really DO want us all dead? I know thats not a popular view right now, and I know we started a war with Iraq based on total BS...
That doesnt alter my belief there really are people wishing out country ill. Some of them live here.
