More Digg angst and other stuff.
Mar. 5th, 2009 10:30 amSo it seems like The "Rightist" have come to populate Digg a lot lately...
This doesn't so much bother me as it more bothers me that both sides are just bickering children who need to shut the fuck up.
I do happen to like Obama doesn't mean I agree with everything he does but at the same time it means I am giving him a chance since I voted for the man. I am not crying everytime he says are does something because it's unfair, not bitching that the Trillions more that he is adding to our debt will bankrupt us (in comparison to what was spent before him it was nothing), not complaining that some of the people he choose for offices had questionable tax questions. You can't judge someone by a few mistakes. So far I don't think Obama has made many. I think he's doing a great job with what he's been handed but even then we really can't judge it right now since he's only been in office for a month.
Yes if within the year things get far worse then I will hope that it wasn't Obama's fault but in the end if it is I will hold him accountable, but until that time nothing hasn't happened that wasn't going to happen with any other person in his position (economically at least).
Also socialist comments confuse the heck out of because we have so much socialist programs already. I mean Police, Fire Department, Social Security, Welfare, and none of these make us a socialist country but having more government control over health care costs would be, or making sure that ISP companies don't start charging us extra rates for popular websites is socialist. There are some things that just work as socialist programs, it doesn't mean the whole country will become a socialist state.
And I am so tired of Bailouts. Some companies need to just fail, especially ones that got us into this mess in the first place. Companies that don't innovate and just stagnate don't need bailouts the need reorganization. And until this money can come with that stipulation it's doing no one any good.
And I am so sick and tired of hearing that the people that work earn their money. There is some truth to that but the people they are really talking about are millionaires who have gained their wealth off inheritance and the backs of actual hard working people while doing pretty much nothing in return. These are people who are taking lavish trips while cutting their work force, getting huge bonuses while their company goes under. These are not hard working people. The hard working people are the ones who are at the lowest position getting the lowest amount of pay typically. I worked in retail for 11 years and I worked hard and got shit in return. Not all hard working people get the pay they deserve.
