Abandon Ship!!
by Stanley Davis "Abandon ship!" those two words strike fear into almost all men who sail the seas. Can you just imagine what goes through the mind of a sailor the moment he knows all is lost? Questions like, God save us, what about my family, or will I survive. I think about those two words when I hear another one of Barack Obama's Whitehouse staff leaving his administration. This is nothing new to the political scene of course. People come and go and always will. Why, well one reason a person leaves a job is that they are not satisfied with what is going on. Could this be true? It reminds me of the old song; "I can't get no satisfaction", by a certain rock group back many years ago. These exits do however make one wonder what is actually going on behind the scenes in Washingtoon. Several of the characters Obama has placed on his staff are shady at best. Some have a personal agenda to see this country fall and others do not have a clue what they are doing. With an administration as flexible and liberal as this, we should not be surprised. One thing is for sure, if the ship is sinking, I am going to get off, and I believe you would too. Americans know we are in trouble and I believe most of the Whitehouse staff knows this too. Americans need answers and Obama and his cohorts do not have them. Health care reform, tax increases, unemployment, unstable economy and a massive national debt that is growing out of control faster than any time before. The only answer from Washingtoon is it is someone else's fault. Listen, if Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are going broke, what would heath care reform achieve. The government has failed in a big way with so many programs that it is pathetic. Right now, the present administration wants to end the Bush tax cuts at the end of this year as one way to start paying for all of their wasteful spending. Which means the working class people will have fewer dollars to grind with, again. American people need jobs and they need to be working. Today companies are still going out of business or moving overseas. Another thing I have noticed is the wage scale dropping. When a new person is hired today, he or she will be making less than a person hired for the same position a year ago. One reason for this is too many people needing to work and the employers know this so they can drop their starting salaries. A second reason would be the employer is also feeling the crunch from our government. Since there are less jobs and this trend is continuing, who will be able to afford health insurance, much less pay more taxes. The very idea of this administration moving the country into a government state, will only further the problems. If this administration does not change policy now, we will cease to be a nation. These United States will become the divided states. Most in America will tell you we are going in the wrong direction. Maybe we should ask some questions. Like, why is the government not listening to us? What is their real intent? Who is going to fix what they have broken? We need to take back this country while there is still time. Please vote your conscience in November and in 2012. Your children and the next generations will be glad you did.
