Please stop with the "he said.....", "No that's incorrect I said", "My opponent...." crap.
Enough of the high school games, in case you guys haven't noticed there is a country to run here.
I want to know the how of each proposal. How is it going to be funded, how is it going to be administered, is it taking place of another program, are programs going to be eliminated? And I don't want to hear "we are taking a look at all options." I want to know HOW. I want specifics.
The public is doing far more with far less and I expect our politicians should also. Politicians in theory work for US, yet WE do not treat them like employees. If an employee came to me and said I see a problem with our health care and I want to A) give it to MOST people for free or B) I want to give SOME employees stipends to cover costs. My very next questions would be 1) Why some and not all? 2) How does this affect us fiscally? 3) How does it get done? 4) Whose going to do it? and 5) Who decides whose eligible or not?
We no longer have the luxury in this country of giving money away and wasting it on programs that are not effective. Through entitlement programs, lax standards and the feel good mentality we have created a large % of people who believe they have little to no personal responsibility and are entitled to whatever they feel they want.
This last bailout (I am not even going to pretend I am smart enough to understand the in's and out's of it) simply reinforced the idea that people should grab as much money as they can, screwing people over in the process if needed and then someone else will come over and fix your problem.
I'm not saying I have the answer to any of the questions I posed above but I believe, as a nation, we each have the responsibility to, at the very least, ask the questions. And Damn it I am sick and tired of the he said, no he said, no I really said, no he's a flipper, no he's a war hero, no he likes terrorists.
For God sake, can we please get some ANSWERS!!!
