State of The Union Address

I am going to start off by saying I hate anything that involves politics and the government (as I have said in all the government based blogs). Besides that factor this is an ok blog topic. I do have a few views on were our country stands at the moment. I honestly don’t think Obama is doing the worst job as president ever has like everyone says. He was put in a bad position when he started

            Right now things are not the best in our country. They could be much better. I am not to satisfied with the way things are at the moment. We are in a state of recession and have many financial issues. Many people are unemployed and jobs are becoming scarce. We are in debt a lot. We owe more money then we can handle. Not just the individuals of America but the whole country is in debt.

            Jobs are becoming scarce because no one has the money to pay for employees. Not only are jobs decreasing but also many small family owned businesses are closing down. The business owners are not making enough money to keep their businesses open. While the small businesses continue to decrease the big corporations increase. This leads me onto my other point. The rich keep getting richer and poor keep getting poorer. It seems as if the middle class society is being wiped away. There is no high class, middle class, and poor class. Everyone is becoming either rich or poor. They are making millions or becoming bankrupt.

            The biggest issue the country has right now is financially. We are also experiencing troubles in schools because of this. Many private schools do not have the proper funding to stay open. Education all over the country is declining. Along with education transportation is beginning to become an issue. Gas prices are constantly skyrocketing. The price of tolls has gone up and the price to ride any means of transportation (bus, train, plane) has increased. We have to use even more money that we don’t have.

            I really don’t think there a positive thing going on in this country right now. Another trouble we are having involves health care. Slowly everyone is starting to lose their healthcare. This is affecting the elderly the most at the moment. The elderly are not being treated very well right now. I think this is because they are incapable of working so we find no use for them. It is truly a terrible thing. Along with not being able to afford healthcare people can no longer afford everyday necessities like food. Food stamps are decreasing in value as we speak. They mean almost nothing and for a lot of people this is tragic. A lot of American citizens relied on food stamps to get their food.

            I think it is safe to say that our country is on the verge of a state of panic. We are running out of money and time. Everything is falling to pieces and the economy does as well. As a country we need a lot of financial help.
