We’re Pissed Off, Again!

The Republicans are pissed off with the President this time over his ability to circumvent them blocking the appointment of key positions in the administration. 18 months have passed by and they intend to hold up everything. Some of us that are working are already doing the work of 2-3 people. It’s called burnout! Is this what the Republicans are looking for? Keep in mind that the Republicans have been blocking every move that he has made to appoint anyone. Now this time, the President found a way, which has been used in the past. Both Republican and Democratic presidents have made recess appointments, which circumvents the Senate's authority to confirm nominees, to overcome delays. President George W. Bush made more than 170 such appointments in his two-term presidency. President Bill Clinton made nearly 140. Obama had even warned everyone that he would do it. The bottom line is, let’s be honest, please. The Republicans have been pissed off ever since Obama was elected. During his campaign, they have done everything possible to derail him. Since he’s been elected, they have done everything possible to make him fail and look bad to the nation. Now, if I don’t like you, I don’t care what you do to make things right and fair for everyone, I will still not like you. I don’t hate anyone, but if that was my character, as it is for some people, I would pray that you would fail and slip up. The problem with wishing bad things on others will initiate Karma’s duty to return the same to you. There are sayings in all cultures that relate to digging a grave for your enemy will result in digging two, the other for yourself. I just can’t seem to understand why the ultras (Moderates are being phased out) are so bent on destroying this administration despite what is beneficial. I don’t agree with everything that’s being done in Washington, but our elected officials can’t even discuss problems civilly. They are too busy passing the blame. Personally, I think jobs should have been the first issue, but when I began to think about it, I can see why Healthcare was even more important. We can work through this domestically, in other words, a local issue. It’s not perfect but it is helping others. The legislators aren’t complaining about their socialistic benefits, are they? Jobs require a great deal more because we will have to deal with Multi-National Companies (MNCs) who found a way to satisfy their shareholders by outsourcing products for cheaper labor and larger returns on profit. The Republicans will never stand for that because that is who they represent and defend. We don’t need unions! As a stockholder, I understand and would want it that way, too. But when you die, you will die alone, and all that you own will be left behind. So no matter what you got, you won’t be able to keep it. Age has a way of reminding you about mortality. Now outsourcing is cheaper in so many ways, buildings, locations, materials, people, and most importantly, cost. If you constantly spend and not build revenue, and there is no supplements coming in, you will eventually go broke. But if you don’t spend, you will not be able to obtain the necessary items to live. Wars created jobs but they cost and the people are fed-up with wars and loss of lives. We don’t want higher taxes but we do want what we like. It would cost a fortune to bring jobs back and to have a Made in the USA label. Bringing jobs back in America would cost and invite unions and we know how the right side of aisle feels about that. While we are whining and complaining we should be thinking ahead. What can we do about unemployment and jobs? Let’s present a proposal and get back to doing our job! Instead, we’d rather gripe and hope that mid-term elections will make a difference. It won’t matter who’s elected what will they do to get this country back on track and moving in a positive direction? I am disgusted of the code words and actions to separate the races and classes. If we thought Healthcare was a tough battle, wait for the jobs argument.
