Yogi Bear

I feel as though we elected Rambo and instead got Yogi Bear. Why are we still at this impasse? Shouldn’t this be the time where we look under every rock, and seriously fix the system? In our prosperous years we allowed the federal government to grow to the point where like GM it is now inefficient. There is more redundancy in our government on both the federal and state levels than ever before. Where the teachers union in my state has more power than the govenor. This is all of our faults really, between most of us being uniformed voters who choose sides without bothering to read the truth for ourselves. I once heard Bill Maher ask, and I am paraphrasing here, that my generation isn’t as pissed off as it should be. And he’s right! Our environment has suffered at the hands of the oil companies, our taxes that are to pay for public services sit in the retirement accounts of state and federal employees. Why is it fair that some of us, those that are seen to be working menial jobs, get to retire with a large portion of pay and full health and benefits? I don’t get it, they make the same amount of money that I do, and I don’t have those benefits and I never will. My thinking is that either we all join unions and everything is standardized, yes republicans that would be a communist society, or we end this half assedness and disband the unions and truly have a free market society. I am all for helping those people in need, but what about the sponges on the system, what about the women who have more children just so they can get more money in welfare? Let us truly fix this system, I want a mandatory audit of all state and federal agencies ordered and demanded by the president. I want every school system in the country audited to find out why there are more school administrators than children in the class rooms. Yes healthcare is important and I want Obama’s agenda to pass but we cannot put another brick on top of this ruined foundation, fix the system and then add to it. Can the democrats and the republicans please at least agree on that? And could you maybe start playing nice in the sandbox? All this back stabbing, undermining and grandstanding have led us here and I think that we can all agree this just sucks. So come on Obama give me something more than just your wonderful speeches to remember you by, it’s time to clean house, and those of us that voted for you are still waiting on you to take that all important step in the right direction.
