Politics as Usual
It's nice to see nothing has changed. I wasn't expecting that much from Obama since Washington D.C. is what it is. It's nice to see that my lack of faith wasn't misguided. The country is throwing our money in huge heaping smelly piles at walls of problems in the hope that something will stick and coverup what's going on.
Some of that money gets to go to the executives who led their companies and our country into the fiscal morass. I'm not sure why a company wants to reward and keep the very people who destroyed it. However, since it's my money (and yours) they're using to pay off these folks, I guess it really is understandable.
I guess we're pulling a few thousand troops out of Iraq and sending dozens of thousands into Afghanistan. I'm hoping we can get some Soviet advisors to help us really mess that up.
I've got a house that I can't sell whose value has dropped down below what I owe on it. I never bought it to get rich, but I didn't expect it to become a millstone. I suppose I need to abandon it to get some of the political pork I keep hearing about. Doing my duty in paying my bills is starting to seem ever more stupid.
And why did the astronauts move out of a big space station into a tiny capsule because there was flying debris in the area. That chunk of space garbage had just as much chance of nailing the Soyuz capsule as it did the station. And what happens next year when we are dependent on the Russians to get folks to and from the station. Can you believe we have to pay the Russians to do space travel that the USofA can't do? Man, does that suck.
