What is Happening Here?!

What is going on with the United States today? I am sitting here listening to the Glenn Beck show on Fox News and agreeing with everything he is saying. I am very concerned about the direction of the country thus far. I was wary of Barack Obama during all the elections. I felt as though he was hiding something. During the campaign he was not as far left liberal as he has turned out to be. He had a hidden agenda. He wanted the American people to like him and think that he wasn't such an idealogue. He has really shocked the country and started to show his true colors. He promised that the national unemployment rate would not increase passed 8%, it is getting closer and closer to 10% everyday. The economy is tanking and the governement is taking control of it. Has this helped any? Of course not. the 787 BILLION dollar stimulus has not helped anyone. They are now thinking of another stimulus. With what money?! I have not seen more people in houses, paying off credit card bills, etc. I have not seen companies making more money and increseing profits like it was suppose to do. I haven't seen small businesses take off and create more revenue. What have I seen? Companies closing, people losing their jobs, more and more families in line at the food banks, more people begging for money at the street corners, sky-rocketing gas prices, and overall misery among the American people. Now, Obama wants to pass this, like 3,000 page, healthcare bill (who can really read and fully understand 3,000 pages of anything in just a couple of weeks?). That would guarantee every American would have affordable healthcare. Where is the money to support this going to come from? The propsal is that the "rich" will pay for it all. Why should the "rich" pay for someone else's healthcare? The "rich" have been working their tails off to get where they are. They didn't just sit back and say, "I'm going to let someone else make the money for me". The rich have earned every dollar they have. They understand that hard work gets you where you need to be and that laziness does nothing for you. The "rich" are going to pay for healthcare for someone who wants to sit on the couch all day eating bon bons and fast food. They are going to have to pay for healthcare for someone who quite frankly doesn't care about their own health to get out and do something about it. Once the "rich" are tapped out whose going to foot the bill next? Someone like me. People who are barely making enough to get by as it is. People who are working hard to keep a modest apartment and food on the table as as well as pay for all the other bills. If my taxes go up because of this healthcare bill I don't know what I will have to do next. It's getting ridiculous out there and the government doesn't care what it is really doing to the American people. We are transitioning to an almost fascist socialist country. I know fascism is basically a dictatorship but I said almost fascist. It's out of hand. What ever happened to checks and balances? Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now to see what has happened to the country they fought so hard for. What is going to save this nation? The American people getting their heads out of the sand and taking a stand! Voice your concerns. Tell your representatives that if they do not vote to your liking they will no longer have a job and follow through on the promise and go out and vote that person out. Stand up for what is right. Do what is right. Make a change! There is so much here to talk about but I don't want to get too political and go off the deep end. One other thing love about this government? The leaders of our nation are horrible examples. The new surgeon general is considered obese and she is going to tell us how to eat right, exercise, and so forth. The person who is over the financial sector didn't even pay his taxes. Just about every other nominated person for amy high ranking position has a shady past and has tried to skip out on what the rest of us are doing so we don't get put in jail. Maybe if I don't do my taxes, and become morbidly obese, and break every other law out there I could be in a high ranking government position. How can I trust someone to take care of my health, finances and safety if those people can't do it for themselves? I just turned down a job that I knew I was not qualified for but could have had it in less then a heartbeat if I wanted it and started on my legacy in teaching and coaching. Good thing I have some values, morals and standards. Get a clue Barack. Get a clue.
