“We have don’t have any good faith in him. Any thing he does anything good it will be for himself.”

Today is the day that solidifies my once swaying thoughts on this farce of an election. I watched some very close friends lose their jobs, witnessed more take pay cuts that sound better than they look on paper. I listened to once prosperous car dealers explain why they are liquidating their manufacturer cap funds because they are scared shitless that cash flow is so tight it may not be there in a week and srategized with them on how to refrain from laying off more employees and debated whether investing their personal money back into payroll would be realistically beneficial to anyone. More amazing than any of this, I listened to them explain why they didn’t support the government bailout of the failed automotive industry and heard them when their preference leans towards consolidations and personal sacrifice of monetary compensation from manufacturers they typically realize through ownership of their perspective stores.
This is bullshit. These guys are dying slow deaths and their employees are being buried alive in the grave. I could go on for hours about the numerous reasons that caused the collapse of this once prosperous industry but in summary they have, and in turn myself, joined the hundreds of thousands of victims raped by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
I understand that there are so many things that Obama hasn’t accomplished and this is simply another line item on his ever growing list of things he didn’t do…I don’t blame him individually. I’ll disclaim this rant by saying I am far from a financial expert of any kind and in fact had to take that fucking gateway exam at least 4 times my freshmen year in college. All I know is that the democratic party’s misguided attempt to mutate the privilege of owning a home into a right has demolished this country and while it started getting personal when my retirement account sent me a bill stating I owe them…now it has crawled so far up my ass I’ll probably have to begin supporting universal health care because I can no longer afford the surgery required to have it removed.
I’ve spent hours reading varying opinions on why lending money to people that have a history of chronic unemployment and defaulted payments is a good idea, and of course I believe in second chances. This issue was studied by very prominate senate committees, sub-committees, sub-sub-sooo sub they don’t have clearance to enter airports in Washington let alone the white house And of course your token economist, strategist and analyst here and there. Bottom line people…. may have well as been you and I over beers. Anyway, as much as I try to analyze this mess with an open mind and fact gathering I simply cannot grasp how decisions were made and policy set forth in this manner. I equate it to leaving my children in the care of a rehabilitated child molester with the word of his mother as my only guarantee. I agree now Todd…yes, we should be afraid.
So, while I have been enslaved to my job because I’m forced to do the work of three people for less pay and robbed of ticking time with my children I will not give in accept that this is just the way it is. I’ll work to find ways to assist in the relief of this relentless disaster. Further I’ll consider it my servitude to this country and will not accept that anybody but myself can improve my life. So, to the Section 8 mother hen and her brood, and the people who take from gods to feed the demons…. consider the vacation you’ve taken since birth coming to an end.
