What Should We Do That The President Isn’t Doing?
Written by: Tom Sawyer
You know what they say about opinions right? Well if you don’t, opinions are something we all have like other parts of our body. Opinions are flying all over the place concerning our Government and how they are handling the recession. Being a normal citizen, right in the middle of this unfortunate situation, I would like to know what the best course of action is.
People who advise the President and other government officials more than likely have an agenda. At the end of the day, they have their best interests at heart whether it be what they really want or what someone else wants who is padding their pockets. Those are the people who have a direct pipeline to the people who are movers and shakers. What about us?
I’ve heard/seen shots fired directly and indirectly at President Obama since he was elected. Now I would like to hear some suggested solutions in clear language. I’ve heard things like:
- The Government shouldn’t be taking over businesses
- We will soon be like communist countries
- Obama is too liberal
- We are losing our freedoms and liberties as we know them
- The Government is making things worse by spending so much money – printing new money
- People are too sensitive about comments directed at Obama
- Similar and/or worse comments were made about Bush without anyone jumping to his defense
There are so many more things that could be said. I would like to hear other perspectives and suggestions with balance in mind. When I say balance, in this case, I’m talking about the decisions made cannot simply benefit the rich or the poor. It is easy for someone to think about what is best for their demographic or tax bracket, but it is harder for people to think about what is best for the country in the long run. There are certain decisions that could be made to benefit my family, but when I step back and look at it that could really be greed or selfishness.
I hope some people make some comments with some good suggestions because it could prove educational. I hope we can hear more than the normal comments about Obama.
