The US credit rating has just been dropped from AAA to AA+ by Standard & Poor's!

Simplest way put is that American politicians DO NOT care about the people and what the publics opinion is, there's no other way of putting it. They care about corporate interest and about keeping their political seat.

The troops should have been brought home a long time ago yet they still keep dicking around on doing that. Really what the American Government does is just try to pull the wool over the citizens eyes. They will say anything they can to bring the public morale up and to believe "things will change, just give it a little bit longer" but it really is not the truth, things are just getting worse in front of our very eyes.

I myself would love to get a well paying, higher educated career but with barely enough money to eat and pay the bills, it's near impossible to finish my College degree without going into a boatload of debt. I truely believe that America is designed in way to keep most everyone in some sort of debt to someone. I mean why not? It makes perfect business sense, someone will always get paid if someone is always in debt. Interest charges, etc. I want to go to school to make more money, not to make more money and then have to give it right back because I owe it to someone. It's contradictory and defeats the purpose.

I really do hope things change for the better in this country but I don't see that happening unless something major (i.e. Iranian style uprising) takes place. I was appalled that not even one politician came forwards and said something along the lines of instead of accepting a paycheck, they will give it to be dispursed to the troops who might not get one if the budget bill did not pass. Just plain sickening how greedy they are. If it wasn't for the troops, they wouldn't even have a job in the first place.



My vote will be going to Ron Paul and I will do everything in my power to get the word out there to throw all this current Washington scum out. With the way most Americans feel lately, I'm thinking that I won't be the only one.
