Omnibus Bill

So here we go again, Congress passes another outrageous bill that we the American people will be forced to pay back at a later date. How in the world are we supposed to pay back this incredible amount of debt, when all Congress does is spend money they do not have? We the American people are doing all that we can to weather this economic storm, tightening our own budgets, cutting out many things we all enjoyed, and only spending money for the services we can afford. We are trying to be more fiscally responsible, yet Congress continues to throw out money like it was growing on trees.

In this current economy why are we worried about the beautification of some scenic trail, or the building of more spectacular aquariums? We do not need this type of spending. What we need is a congress to understand that it is not the government that buys the people out of these hard times, but the hard working people of this country.

I am sick and tired of everything my elected officials are supposedly doing to make my life better! I think I am a capable enough person to figure out what I know to be best for me. We are not children who are ignorant, but grown educated adults. We can make our own decisions, granted they may not always be the best but that is what makes us that much stronger and better prepared when faced with another hard decision. When did we as a country start fearing failure and mistakes? What is so wrong with failure? Yes failure may cost us our money, may cost us our hard earned retirements. Yet it is for those very reasons, we exploded and expanded into the greatest country this world has ever seen. Not one country in the world has ever experienced the exponential growth that we have. We are a country that rewards risk.

Now we have turned into something of a country afraid to fail. WE can't even allow our children to be kids anymore. No one is better, we are all just as good! We endanger the mental growth of a child when we do not allow them to experience failure. Not everyone is great at the 100m dash, not everyone is great at science, but we are all great at something. It is through our failures and triumphs in life that we figure this out.

It is time we stop Congress from this out of control spending spree they are on, and step up to plate and let them remember just who they are working for. We need to hold their feet to the fire, and ensure they remain accountable to the people that put them there in the first place, and I do not mean the lobbyists. It is time we start voting people out when they fail at their job. We need to seek those that stand for something, people that don't throw out the party line, or try and blame someone else. Accountability needs to return to not only our Federal government but our State governments as well.

We need to stand as a people of one nation, not of separate parties. WE are AMERICANS first, and somewhere down the line we have forgotten that fact. We need to bring that back, and no longer allow our government to figure out what is better for us, or what they believe OUR money should be spent on. Stand up and be heard, stand up and fight for what you believe to be right, stand up as a nation of people, not parties.

The beginning

Never in my life have I ever believed I would turn into a "blogger." However, with the current status of our country and the true disregard our politicians have for their "true" constituents, has led me to start my own posts. I do this in the hopes that I can connect with others who may or may not see things in the same light that I do, and bring about constructive discussions/debates.

So in the coming days, I will post more of what I believe needs to be done to save our country from a total annihilation from the inside out.
