I think this country SUCKS!!

Someone at the gym told me this morning that he saw a report that all the billions of dollars that are being spent on the war is enough to write everyone in the country a check for at least $200,000. I don't know if that's entirely true or not. But if it is, hearning thimgs like that pisses me off! I look at the economic crisis that we are in, and I think that there is so much money being wasted on crap. Someone made in interesting point here on mylot. They want to use are tax dollars to bail out the auto industry. Why? No one is buying anything. Stuff is too expensive, people are loosing their jobs every day. It's no surprise why people aren't spending money on expensive homes or cars. I can buy a brand new car today and be laid off tomorrow. My opinion is why waste money trying to save the auto industry. So you can keep them from going ouy of business so they can keep on making expensive cars that no one is going to buy. That sounds like a good idea. Keep making more cars that people can't afford!! All of these corporations that are asking for help have made millions of dollars. Now they are crying because they are on the verge of going outof business. I feel for the employees of these companies and not the owners who have made millions. The companies don't need to be bailed out. The people who are struggling and loosing jobs everyday are the ones that need help. Families are loosing jobs and their homes because of it. Why doesn't the government use the money they are wasting like building new baseball stadiums that we don't need and give back to the people. I live in NY where they are building a new Yankee and Mets stadium. The Yankees have just asked for another $4 billion to finish their stadium. This is a big waste of money. There are more important things in the world than buiding a new baseball stadium when there wasn't anything wrong with the original one. I have heard people say many times that the world is designed for the poor or middle class to stay poor, and the rich to stay rich. I know for the most part many peole out there have taken risks and have done alot to have the success and wealth they have. You can't expect them to hand out money to everyone. But I look at this counrtry and the government. I think there is so much more they could do to help evryone out. Cuttting every one a check for $100,000 sounds like a good idea to me. It's sad to think that certain industries are making money off the war. As far as the bail outs, the companies don't need help, we the people are the ones that are struggling. You can't force people to spend money. I work for the post office and the mail volume is decreasing every year. I can't get mad at that. People are getting their bills paid online through their bank accounts more and more. The price of stamps is ridiculous. You can't force people to spend money on stamps. And I don't blame them. It's the same reason alot of people are getting laid off. People are not spending money on anythng because it's too expensive. Therefore companies have to cut salary costs and lay people off. If it is indeed true that there is enough money out there to give everyone a few hundred thousand dollars then I'm all for it. It's not the answer or a long term solution to anything. I surely would not quit my job or waste that kind of money on material things like jewelry or expensive cars. But it could help people get back on their feet a whole lot. I think this country needs to really look at the things that they could be doing to help people more. And I'll just end this conversation by saying the IRS can go straight to HELL!!!!!!!
