The dream act

How sad that the dream act did not pass. It did not get enough votes. Probably I have said this before. These people that are working for us are acting like children. If for some reason they did not like the dream act, why can't they suggest some changes or come up with another prop? I don't get it. As long as we are divided, we are never going to move forward. Why did we end up like this? how, when, and at what time? This country needs a make over.

the bailout.

I feel so sorry for us. Since when do we help out those who have made bad mistakes? I think a better term should be errors in judgment. Another question that I am asking myself is how did the US get 7000000000 dollars? I thought that there was no money! Didn’t President Bush say that social security was going to be out of money? One more question. Was this a lie? So, let me get this strait. We don’t have money for health care, we don’t have enough money for social security, and we don’t have enough money for our veterans. Also, helping the blind will cost too much, and let’s not talk about people with out jobs, homeless people, building more prisons, plus so much more. However, we have more than enough to bailout Wall Street. I believe that when somebody owes to the government, the creditors call the people that are in debt and harass them in a weekly bases. The people who are getting bailed out are going to want more money. Then, other industries are going to probably follow their example, and they will ask for some money as well. I wonder if the people who are being helped out, have helped the government in some way. Probably they have, and we don’t know about it. It angers me that some of these people will walk out with very fat checks, and everything is going to be just fine because that is what they had put on their contracts. Let’s speak the truth here. The people that will pay the 7000000000 dollars are the US citizens. I also heard John McCain say, “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.” Because I am an ignorant, I never knew what the meaning was , and He never explained what he just said. It was until recently when I heard that he was talking about the people. Maybe it will take many years until we could pay the government back. I don’t know if we will ever see the government giving us that reward for helping Wall Street. I also feel bad for Mister Bush. So much has happened under his administration. I have heard almost all his speeches, and for the first time I think he said that we were in a recession. I have heard that it takes a long time to build something, and it takes very little time to destroy it.

Is John McCain a maverick?

In a story titled, “Between a maverick and a hard place,” publish to day in the LA times, I found some things that were very interesting. For example, John McCain considers himself to be a maverick. So, what is a maverick? According to thefreedictionary.com, it is, “One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.” Yes, he is still one, but I also think that he is stuck in between roads. He wants to be seen as someone who is different than other politicians. But at the same time, he wants to win these elections. I used to like him a little bit more a few years ago when he co-authored an emigration bill that was fair to undocumented workers. Now it seems as if he has joined those people whom he has criticized. I believe that a person could be with a group and still not be in agreement with them. However, in this case, I think that there is very little difference between President Bush and McCain. In another note, I think that he should not use ads like the one with Paris Hilton to get his point across. He should not criticize Barak Obama for saying what he said about tires and energy.
