State of the Union speech last night. WOO HOO! I tried to watch but simply could not get past the endless speculation provided by the news agencies. Each time I tuned in it appeared more like a campaign speech than a " state of" speech. Again, we were treated to an assault on our intelligence. Same old same old crap. Its somebody else's fault. We are going to create jobs, get out of our longest war, deal with illegal aliens, blah blah blah.
I need not watch the State of the Union speech. I am aware of the issues facing this country. I am awaiting actual, workable plans to start the process of solving these issues. I don't have a problem stating my position on issues. Illegal means illegal. Granting immunity to 11 million people simply creates a different class. We have procedures for becoming citizens. Free enterprise has worked for us for hundreds of years. We create lots of jobs. Sadly those jobs are in foreign countries. We need to be more cautious not to create trade imbalance with those countries. Again, our inability to have clear, measurable goals in our little "wars" has cost us billions of dollars and the waste of countless lives. I do not believe we have changed a thing in Afganistan.
This Union is in a constant state of grid-lock. Our two party system is unable to work out problems that face this country. Instead, we are like two children that are unwilling to concede, just because.
The current administration has been unable to solve the fundamental problems that have plagued us for the entire term.
I no longer believe any elected official. If a Republican said the sun was up, a Democrat would either claim it was not, or blame the Republican party! No-one is to blame or deserves credit for the rise and set of the sun.
