-our economy has not sucked for a decade or more.
-no one implied or said it's because Kerry lost. The question is if the right can even acknowledge there's a problem. How many posts by JHendrix did we see explaining how great everything was during the election? Things aren't, and we all know it. But is the right able to untangle itself fromt he propoganda that it was fine?
Well I'm on THE RIGHT, and I'm admitting there's a problem with the economy. And I don't know where you live, but here in SATX if you're not in the military, a teacher, in the medical feild or a lawyer... OR of course working for USAA, then you're probably in retail of some sort, or another shitty job working like a dog to make ends meet, and if you live nicely it's because most now a days don't mind taking more handouts from the government. I always hear that
More jobs are out there, YEAH, $6.75 - $7.50 an hour jobs maybe, but nothing that would let a man really look himself in the mirror... and this after ppl have gotten bank loans and shit, and put themselves $30,000 + in debt to higher education institutions only to find out they may as well have saved their money because the waiting list for what they want is years off, so it's Burger King for a lot of degree holders.
I personally don't have that problem because I've always been "self sufficient" and always find a way for people to need my services be it Bouncing in a club, doing lawn service {which pays better than most think}, doing freelance security specialism / Advisory etc. *That does not mean there isn't a problem. THING IS THOUGH, while I've had quite a number of ppl talk smack to me about:
Heh, heh... you were doing that guy's lawn a few weeks back! that same bastid is the one who absuses the welfare system, and I'm an idiot for actually not taking hand outs of any kind {when I could, espeically on the Bipolar thing, but don't} because a man is only worth his integrity and honor. But NOOOOO, we've got a generation + of fuck offs. How'd they get that way? Well I wonder which side's platforms always want to press for more government handouts? It sure as shit ain't the right. The bottom line is, the enconomy isn't all it's cracked up to be, and with each generation thinking they are OWED something it'll only get worse. The #1 problem is that no one wants to really enter the "Blue Collar" workforce anymore, or at least look down their nose at it.
*Not everyone is made for college, and that has nothing to do with the intelligence either. I know pleanty of ppl who are just as smart if not smarter than their white collar counterparts, but they're like me. Too much wanderlust and liking to work with their hands. But our educational system isn't about educating our kids and showing them the many avenues of work available to them... it's about hounding our children into consumeristic sheep, making the principals of a school with test scores look good, and brainwashing them to think that anything other than a job in the white collar feilds is a bad thing. ---I mean, we're always going to need
Sanitation Workers, Plumbers, Policemen, Fire Fighters, etc. Yet all I ever hear now is kids stating: "I'm going to work for Donald Trump. I'm going to do such and such." all the while acting like an ass towards someone else who isn't doing what they think is paramount to livng, yet themselves have no work ethics and no honor. Thus if we want the economy to be better, then maybe we should start at the bottom where our kids are stripped of their individuality and taught to be a fuckin' money leach with little to no ethics, and where kids are not educated at all but processed.
