if i hear one more word concerning the debt ceiling...i may jump off a building.
truth tho - it will, max, be a one story building because i greatly treasure my life and everything in it.
the demonstration would be for example purposes only.
regardless, everything will be OK. stop worrying.
if i've said it once, i've said it a hundred times - the only reason this is even an issue with the american people is because of the media. we love a deadline of doom and they know it. the last deadline headline i read was "if the government doesn't vote on a debt deal by tuesday, soldiers won't get paid!"
ahhhh! no. stop. of course they will get paid.
the media needs, no, no...requires...this kind of exploitative verbiage in order to support an endless array of liberal/conservative cable talk show chatterbugs - shows and chatterbugs which have no bearing on the politicians themselves. like they care. politicians just use them from time to time to get free press and marketing. it's nothing more than that. honestly, politicians do not care what the american people think of them. they never have, ever. how do you think this whole mess started? a typo? no, it's a lineage of corruption starting back way before you were born.
i mean, if you've read or watched any kind of media press...you've heard the politicians all say the same thing "the american people deserve this issue to be handled." "the american people want bi-partisan decisions." "the american people this." "the american people that."
obviously, if the politicians really knew or respected what "the american people" thought or cared about, 1) they would double up their bodyguard count and 2) america would be a much better place. a smarter place. an organized place. instead, as if this is news, politicians cater to their most important, influential, and deep-pocketed constituents that are the puppeteers to their decision-making.
it's not news.
it's how our government works. always has.
stop letting the sensationalism lead you into hysteria. you can't do anything about it. no one you will ever vote for will be any different from the rest.
don't get me wrong - good things will happen within our government and to its people. but also expect a lot of bullshit. the bullshit will never go away.
so, stop getting mad and more importantly stop watching tv. just go on with your normal life and be a smart, savvy citizen. live your life the best way you can and do not depend on the government to get you through it.
in this life, you can only depend on yourself to make the right decision.
so go do just that.
