I heard on NPR last week that some of the republicans in Congress are intentionally hoping that the U.S. will default on its debts so they can blame the problem on President Obama. Fox News says that the president cares more about getting re-elected than he does about the debt.
Why are we in this problem in the first place? Does anyone remember in 2008, when the democrats and republicans all got together and made passionate speeches about saving America’s main street, so that they could pass the bailout, which instead gave billions of dollars to people who are already billionaires?
There is no difference between the parties – they can certainly agree on making the rich richer. Democrats and Republicans are only arguing right now to see who will get the most money and power out of this.
Believe me, it won’t be any of us. The only real divide is not between Democrat and Republican, but between the rich and the poor. The people who are supposed to serve us are only serving their own greed – no matter which party they say they belong to.
So which side are you on?
