Let Me Get This Straight...

Time for some political incorrectness... If anyone is offended - tough ... as Ted Nugent says - "Deal with it."

I make my mortgage payment, truck payment, credit card payment... month after month after month... Even when I was out of work, I was able to keep my payments going (thank the good Lord). I had enough sense to build my savings and sit on the cash as so many financial experts say... that helped... so why do I get penalized for being responsible? Maybe I should max out my credit cards and get in on the buyout/bailout bandwagon...

How about the government figuring out the following:
1. How to reduce the defecit
2. How to get people working
3. How to get the damn illegal immigrants the hell out of the country and oh yeah - bill them for rent, education and health care that they used... Why the hell are we paying for these people to use our services... shit - I have to buy a meal to use the toilet in a restauraunt so why not have them pay for the services they are using?? Sorry liberals - your ideas don't impress me unless you can tell me what will be cut from other programs you dreamed up to pay for the new ones.

You want to bail out the Fords and GMs and Chryslers of the world??? Keep my money out of that pot... How about dumping the unions to start... the sweetheart deals the retirees get (and by retirees I mean those who took the early buy-out in previous reductions) is OBSCENE... I recently read Lee Iaccoca's book and I believe he said up to 30% of the operating expenses of Chrysler goes to retirees health benefits... hmmmm - anyone else see a problem here!??! I say give the Big 3 the loans they want but tie the interest rate to their ability to deliver cutting edge technology to increase mileage by a factor of 5 (minimum)... don't tell me they can't do it because we put men on the moon using computers as powerful as a pocket calculator for crying out loud!

You hear that sucking sound folks? It's the sound of the middle class getting sucked off the face of the planet - we're not middle class - we're the working class poor!

Welcome to the new reality... and don't give me the shit that it's the Republican's fault, or even the Democrat's fault for that matter... every scumbag in Washington and in each state senate is to blame - period. Every one of them over the past 20+ years shares the blame... and we do too folks... we share the blame because we voted for and trusted the assholes to keep OUR best interests in mind... public servants my ass... they only serve themselves.

Good night and good luck folks! Something tells me we're going to need it no matter who's in office.
