What shall we do? Will I ever find a job? What about gas prices? What about the housing market? What will this nation do to fix itself?
The many inquiries have flooded our nations news channels since the beginning of televised news in the 1950s. We will never figure this one out. Our greedy nation has failed its citizens. But most importantly, we have deceived ourselves. Our new president, Obama, has promised hope and prosperity for all Americans. Such a promise is dangerous. Now readers, I am not an Obama hater, nor am I saying that he has made an awful mistake. I believe we cannot fix our problems by believing that one man will fix it all.
Let's be honest. You really think one small group of men and woman resting our nation's capital can fix the economic problems of 303,824,640 American citizens? Give me a break. YOU must fix this, not the government. When you get your income checks in, invest or save. The problem with the fresh administration is they will give more money to the lower economic-class of society and tax it higher for middle class and up. Nothing against anyone who is poor, but there is a definite reason people are poor. They were either not taught how to spend, do not care how to spend, or have nothing to spend. This isn't a fallacious statement friends, but fact.
If you give hundreds of dollars to individuals who do not care to save, will that help the economy? NO! History has proved this over and over. In the 90s, our deceitful president, Clinton, taxed and spend and gave away billions of dollars increasing the national debt (or known as deficit). This money was freely given to families who instead of buying their children diapers and a better education, spent their money on electronics, entertainment, and alcohol (again not a fallacy but historic fact).
Readers, if you think the government is going to solve all the problems, then please wake up. The only thing that can mend and heal our land is Christ. But with our laws and liberties, we cannot expect a nation to turn from their wicked ways. Roughly 70% of Americans consider themselves Christians. I truly believe if this were true, we would see a revolution in America. One can only aspire for such.
"...if my people who are called by my name, humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

having nothing to spend is not a reason for being poor, but the very definition. i don't get your statement; are you saying that all poor people are in that position by their own hands? halp!
ReplyDeleteI neither said nor believe that all poor people are poor because they want to be. I believe and have studied numerously about those in lower socioeconomics. A trend is popular that people do not try to find resources and those that do abuse them. Hence, the problem with social security and welfare system.
ReplyDeleteOne study I conducted in 2006 on ASU campus saw such a huge trend of poor people in the Jonesboro,Arkansas, area spend money on items not necessary for survival. To me, this is pathetic. And yes, those who are of lower-economic status are less likely to know how to spend.
Thanks for the comment :)
