I keep hearing both the Dems and the GOP talk about how they are going to look out for Main Street. I have yet in my life to feel that they care about Main Street.
Not one of them has said a word about the fact that even though fuel cost is down, the prices are about the same to us. Why, oh, why are we the great capitalist that we are allowing this monopoly to go on? The oil companies continue to rake in huge earnings. I keep hearing how those earnings are reinvested. Please, if all that money was put to use we would be farther along in energy independence.
About health care, no one addressed how much we spend on illegal aliens, lawyers getting huge settlements for medical mistakes, while there are very valid legal actions taken many are frivolous, how the FDA blocks pharmaceutical advances which drives up the price of medical advances, and how preventative medicine is the first line of care yet some many insurance plans won't cover basic preventive care.
Both political camps are talking about the housing crisis. They are rightly so talking about the unscrupulous mortgage providers. I know that there were some taken advantage of by these villains. But I am not stupid. I don't for one minute believe that all those loans went to wide eyed innocents wanting a piece of the American dream. So now we are going to reward the people that faltered by buying their mortgages or refinancing them? What is that? So, I work hard, pay bills, I mean I pay bills first eat last. I take care of myself and people who wanted and got more than they could afford get a break. Really? So much for my American dream. I hear from different sources in the media that about 10% of the loans have failed. So the 90% of us, lets call us something, hum, I know, how about Main Steet, that has a nice ring to it, we get to pay for everything. Wow, I am so excited that there is someone out there looking out for me.
