March 1st is right around the corner and, of course, the spending cuts that will automatically take effect if the federal government does not take action to prevent them or all over the headlines.
The president is on record as opposing the cuts. He believes that the economy will suffer; services will suffer; the elderly (like me) will suffer; and, (to paraphrase a bit) our country will not be a pretty place.
The republicans seem to be opposed to the administration’s views and are, of course, digging in their heals.
Well, who is right?
My opinion, I think that what we have here is simply political posturing.
You watch, a “compromise” of sorts will occur and we will not even come close to getting to the root of the problem.
Does Big Al want to see old people like me suffer? Common, of course not!
Do I want to see 750,000 people loose their jobs because of the damn rich who are not willing to pay more taxes? Common , we all know by now that the proposed tax increases on the upper income group will not make much of a differeence in this financial mess that we are in.
We have basic structural problems in our country. These problems need to be solved and throwing more money at them is NOT THE ANSWER!
Why doesn’t anyone have the guts to stand up and say “I have had enough and I want our country to be great again!”
We need leaders who want to remembered as more than just “givers”; who disregard political correctness; and, who want to reward hard work!
