I disagree. i dont believe we as a nation are fucked just yet. I dont even think clinton really fucked us. Bush/cheney was a totally different story. When i came to CA and saw how the housing prices were skyrocketing and the way it was coming about all i could say to myself is "oh shit here comes trouble." A) Because i knew someday i would actually like to purchase a house and the inflated prices would be seriously hard to get approved for if they stayed high and B) What happens when everything comes to a crashing hault. At the time i was roomate with a guy who was in the home loan industry for these questionable people who did not deserve to get loans. He was pulling some shady stuff to get people approved and the company he was working for was helping along the way. I knew then that it didnt seem right and thankfully did not join those who we are now bailing out.
For the past month i have been scared to turn on the news because it seemed like every time i watched it there was worse news.
Last night i watched obamas speech to Congress and for the first time i actually felt hopeful that this budget could be a good stepping stone to getting us on the right path.
I then turned on MSNBC and watched Countdown, followed by Rachel Maddow. i am no longer scared to turn on the news or shows on politics. This budget has the makings to bring our government to more moral standpoint and really has the makings to prove that the government works for the people, and not for corrupt CEOs.
Remember people this budget still needs to go through congress and the senate for approval. Which I HOPE they keep it free and clear of any little bull shit lobbyists and add ons.
