I hear so many people attacking the President and that's fine because it's our right to free speech. But what bothers me is that so much of it is generalized falsehood. The ACA is meant to be a way for people to get healthcare when they couldn't before, there are major problems, but it's a first step in a country that generally HATES social programs. The help the immigrants are getting right now is due to a bill that the President Bush (the last one) signed. And with everything, the immigration office is trying to take each immigrant case on an individual basis to make sure that they are not sending people and children back to get killed, which is kind of what the USA has stood for, right? Isn't that what Jesus would do? (for those of you obsessed with calling this a Christian nation).
You know who are the real enemies of this country? The corporations. Because they outsourced so many jobs, which has caused a huge problem in this country. Factories are empty sites now in so many states. They raise the prices of their items, but not wages and then pay lobbyists to attack anything that would not bring them a huge profit. If they lowered prices and raised wages people would buy more and things would even out.
There was a news locally about how more women and single mothers with children are becoming homeless, and someone posted that is the President's fault also because of the benefits going to immigrants. Really? This is NYS and benefits here in NYS are going straight to Arizona? It doesn't work that way! Why don't we just blame President Obama for how cold it is, while we're at it. The Arctic Vortex must be his fault!
I am so sick of these attacks. Here is where I stand, I am for social programs that help people. I am for factories and jobs in the USA, I am for raising minimum wage so it's actually liveable (what a shocker). People once worked in factories for what was once considered the minimum wage, which is so-called because it's supposed to be the minimum wage a person can live on. They worked in factories with pride and the factories took care of their workers. Now no-one cares. Happy freaking holidays. Oh wait, I mean Christmas, heaven forbid I don't say Merry Christmas. Oh wait, or is it that they are being told not to say Merry Christmas, I can't keep it straight.
