US Budget: :(

((*L*))
Hi,
I know I said I'd write every day but, I was on vacation. I love Carlsbad California. Everyone is nice, the ocean is always special, and it has a nice small village feel. Still, it's nice to be home.
I guess I'm really worried about the US budget, or lack of one. I worry about things getting so bad that most everyone will  get laid off in one big ripple effect kind of thing. You know if it were your budget you would trim and balance until you were able to pay your bills. In fact you would always try to live within your limits. Because you don't have China to bail you out. What happens does China get our banks, maybe our media or our souls? Should we all learn to speak Chinese? I understand it's a difficult language to learn.
Instead of blaming the Dems or the Reps. I think I'll blame the Pres. The buck does stop at his desk. He is the head of the country. Kind of like the head of a household. He needs to get his ass down to the capitol and sit in on the budget meetings with everyone. Also, stop saying bipartisan if no one means it. Everyone wants their way and no one wants to let anyone else have a say in the policy.
I agree with Obama that a temporary budget is out of the question. We need a sound permanent one.... NOW! We also need to cut some programs back. Maybe we can't take care of everyone's medical. Maybe it should be citizens and legal immigrants only. Other countries aren't even that nice to non citizens. Maybe we need to raise the age of social security to seventy years old. I know were all living longer, so it just stands to reason. I think we need to cut the school weeks back to Monday through Thursday. Add a Half hour in the morning and a half hour in the afternoon. The kids would still get 28 hours a week. Right now they are getting 28 hours in a week five days a week. ( Mondays are half day due to teacher meetings.) By doing this the class would be dark one day a week and maybe we could save money on office personal. Teachers could combine classes and take turns at meetings if they need. Also legalize the growing and selling of marijuana. I am not in favor of drug use, but it is used by millions any way. If it were made legal the Government could tax and regulate it.The extra money would help the government"s budget.
I know my plans maybe to far to the right or the left not sure what side I'm on. Oh, wait, I'm on America's side. We can still be a great country and the land of dreams we just need to get our leaders to pull their heads out of their asses!
I almost forgot the best way of saving money..... Bring our soldiers home! We can't afford to be a police force for a country that doesn't want us there. It costs too much in money and in young lives! End this action now! If we stay we should bill them like any company would. The US is a company and needs to be run that way!
