Before I say anything, I just want to be clear that I typically don’t follow politics that closely. Sarcastically saying, since there isn’t or never will be a politician that can come up with solutions to our country’s problems and please everyone, I have come to view them as people with a fancy title who are way overpaid and can’t really be trusted. I only have this opinion because more often than not it seems like those running for any type of office tell the people what they want to hear then do something completely different once elected. A clear example of this is how Obama preached about “Change” during his 2008 campaign. We all got change for sure, just not even close to being for the better! Since it’s been proven to Americans that Obama obviously has no interest in improving this country but rather turn it into some type of socialist dictatorship through his actions, who can we count on to turn everything around?
After reading numerous comments on here and other sites as well, I became curious. This curiousity has made me question many things which are:
- Without even thinking about those running for President, what type of person do you feel would be best qualified for the job?
- Considering the constant increasing debt, would you want to know how he/she handles their personal finances before putting the nations into their hands?
- What’s your view about the high rate of unemployment and how would you fix it?
- How would you handle foreign affairs, illegal immigration or national security?
- If you were trying to get elected, what would be your top 3 issues to address and why? What kind of plan would you come up with?
This is only a couple of the issues that just scratch the surface of all but besides these, I would be very interested in finding out if there is any possible way to still help the people who really need it without taxing everyone else out of their homes. Call it hearsay but isn’t it true that politicians don’t pay into the system like the rest of us and still collect their yearly salary even if they serve one term? If so, they should have to pay in just like everyone else and should they not get re-elected see how they like it when their income is reduced to social security or a pension. Wouldn’t that save quite a bit?
Immigration? I don’t have a problem with someone wanting to be with their family or searching for a better life but do it LEGALLY! Suck it up, get a sponsor, make your way through the red tape and abide by our laws. Yeah, it takes time but in the end wouldn’t the time be worth it?
What about the welfare system? It’s a given that sometimes people end up in a situation and need some type of help but unless there is a legal or medical reason stating why they are unable to work, shouldn’t there be a time limit of how long they can live like this? I hate to say it but there are a lot of people capable of working but have chosen to live off the system and it’s those who give all a bad name.
Unemployment and business alike can be a very touchy subject, especially in an already hurting economy. I would have to compare it to a big, ugly circle. Logically, if people are experiencing a situation that is creating financial problems then it should be obvious that to try and make ends meet they would have to cut back on their spending and adjust their way of life. When there’s thousands or millions doing this then the businesses that would typically be making profits are suddenly losing money and they would have to cut back on their expenses as well which costs jobs. Another thing that I could see as a factor in job loss is when tax breaks are being taken away from businesses. Without those tax breaks, many major business can and do move to a different state or even go as far as out of the country. So, the way I see it, is to get people working again the businesses need to stay and if need be go back a few years and offer more on the job training for many entry level positions. No matter how you look at it, it’s just a big circle that is currently in a severe downward spiral.
So I ask you, what are your concerns and how do you feel about the job Obama has done since he got elected?
