For the past several weeks, I was wondering why we allowed our government to lay another one on us. We have become a country filled with complacency. When the gas prices climbed well over three dollars and in some areas hit four we sat back and said “what can I do”?
When the government signed a seven hundred billion dollar bailout, we were outraged, but did nothing. And the worst part about it is we have to pay for it. The greed in this country has exploded so out of control that our government allowed for one banking executive to receive over twenty million dollars in severance and a local county’s 2009 budget is twenty-six million dollars. Hillsborough County Florida will have to make several major cuts to services, education, law enforcement and other areas just to reach the twenty-million dollars. OUR LEADERS, BANKERS, AUTOMOBILE MAKERS, CREDIT LENDERS, INSURANCE PROVIDERS AND POLITITIANS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
Here is my plan, because our government is forcing honest, hardworking Americans to pay off our countries greed, I believe we should be able receive some of it in our pockets. Not just a 300 – 1200 dollar stimulus check. We should demand something with teeth. If we don’t receive it we should vote out ALL incumbents. One idea I have is for home owners to receive several mortgage checks vouchers. I also feel we should receive several months of food stamps. And my third Citizen Bailout option should involve several car payments. Finally, we should have our utilities paid for several months. If you don’t have a mortgage payment, then maybe three or four stimulus check would or could be sufficient.
We must start caring about each other and not about how many dead presidents we have in our wallets.
