I was thinking we don't need another FDR legacy, where the government redistributes wealth and then taxes it again. The only reason we got out of the Great Depression was because of WWII, not anything FDR brought to the table. We just had 8 years of some bigoted idiot thinking his job was to take care of the little children called "Americans."
I'm still in the boat with you. Relying on the US government for my daily bread because Christians will not. And stuck on what the government gives us, because even though the same charts are used to determine COL's for Congress as they are for SS recipients, Congress only didn't get a raise one year, because they voted it down, but we're stuck in 2011 COL's with 2016 healthcare costs.
The economy tanked because HUD decided people who can't afford a house should be given a house anyway. Businesses refused the constant tax increases, so they went to other shores. And a skilled middle-aged worker is reduced to part-time work at minimum wages, with the government's response is raise the minimum raise.
In truth, the Democrats talk about helping poor people while stealing from poor people, and the Republicans keep talking against poor people, while setting up the possibility of capitalism so poor people can get jobs. Even we who cannot get new jobs ought to know the more people work, the more they buy, the more they buy, the bigger the demand, putting more and more people back to work, and in the end that means more money in the coffers with a memory of helping those they promised to help in the first place, (because Christians will not.)
I agree with you. We need to be able to count on government, but that's why I voted for Trump. Voting for Hillary would have been the same as Obama with just more incompetency. She couldn't even protect a couple of hundred people in an American embassy who asked for that protection. She lied on what she did/didn't do. And this is who we take for the next President? What happens when the next terrorist attacks us? Do we all go looking for the cause of that attack in a YouTube movie?
I don't trust Trump as far as I can spit. (And when I spit, it rolls down my chin and never comes off.) BUT, we now have a Republican Congress, so maybe, just maybe, we can get out of this recession and people can get work that meets with their age and skill level. Maybe, just maybe, the next time Putin decides to reclaim part of the USSR, America will say NO and mean it. Maybe, just maybe, we can take that fight back to the Middle East so there won't be any refugees. They can live at home. Maybe Israel will have an ally again. Maybe we'll remember cops are usually the good guys.
Maybe? Just maybe, but with Hillary, it was a guarantee none of that would happen and it would get worse.
You're right. I am, and will always wonder, "What were we thinking?" I'll go as far as to ask, "Were we even thinking?" But this was the two evils we were left with, and I couldn't choose her.
Maybe America might even remember we're supposed to help people again.
