Michael - whoah! you sure have a lot of pent up frustration and anger! A large majority of the 'American people that like' Obama - are exactly that - they LIKE Obama, they have no clue about his policies or ideaologies - they LIKE Obama as a super-star or celebrity. Most have no clue what they voted for or what they are in for, but I hope they fasten their seatbelts, because they are in for the ride of their lives!
While I see your point about healthcare and can sympathize with your situation - and I agree the system needs an overhaul - I TOTALLY and COMPLETELY disagree that the government needs to take it over and manage health care. I want control over my health care and the services that I want, not what the government wants to ALLOW me to have.
Yes, our infastructure is in a mess - but to blame it solely on the Reublican's is being naive at best. Just what party do you think was in control of Congress for the last 2 years, as well as previous years at times? This is a NON-PARTISAN mess, and trying to lay blame to one side or the other does NOTHING to help clean it up. Additionally, if you think Obama is trying to clean it up, you are again being naive.
Yes, we have a hole to dig out of, but spending trillions and trillions and amassing a debt that size that most of us cannot even comprehend is NOT the way to dig out of it. Money management is a pretty basic principal, whether you are dealing with $100K a year or trillions. You simply cannot continue to mortgage your way out of a hole. You pay off your debts and become solvent, then start fixing your problems - not the other way around. And even if this were possible - do you ACTUALLY think these trillions of dollars in the stimulus, omnibus, and budget are going to help with infastructure, healthcare, education, etc???? NO!!! The money goes to pet projects of all the corrupt Republican and Democratic Congress members. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
If you believe that the Republican's have been in charge for most of your adult life, then I suggest you revisit history. Just because you have a Republican POTUS, doesn't make the Republican's 'in charge' - to be in charge you MUST have a majority vote! If you don't understand that basic principal, how could you possibly comprehend the complexity of the economic situation at hand. The Dems are just as much to blame as the Reps.
I would imagine one day when you are declined some life saving drug or treatment because the government decides you are past the age of usefullness, you might look back and regret your position on the matter and see that government is never a good substitute for self-responsibility.
