Why are we in the SHITTER? Here might be some of the reason's why!

Wow! What a long and disastrously-exhausting-day...I've never been so tired. You heard me! I'm beat, done, wiped out! I want to talk about, the; wanna-be class-war-fare, on the rich. Yea, it's not a war! It's called: miss-management...or what the government does when they try to run things. Things that they shouldn't be running like schools or programs that were meant to help. Can you all say "Head Start?" Head Start was supposed to be a program, which was supposed to give disadvantaged-kid's a way out of the slums, by giving them a head start in school. It was started in the 60's by the President that was around then...God, this is coming from my memory, about a story; that  I just read in a Times Mag, while I was working out today.

So basically, the story goes...all the money in subsidies, which the supper-rich, oil-companies and mega-farmers are getting, where really intended for; "small oil-companies and small-farmers." But because of bureaucratic-red-tape and bullshit, that the giant Governmental machine created, the Feds had no way of knowing which corporations are supper-big, or which ones are smaller corporations. So basically, the story goes; there is no "class war fare," but rather all of this mess or most of it is because of bureaucratic red tape, along with a lot of money mismanagement, which most of us know is in the millions and billions of dollars. That's what is really going on, and the major reason why the government, is in so much debt! The government has been sloppy with its social programs, and with its money-management. Now in poli-sci class, one of the students in our class did an essay on Government waste. Now in his report, he told us that a million dollars a year, was being spent for over-priced, office-supplies, which the Government did not need, and that were over-priced. Now this has even happened over muffins in Government. I believe that I heard about this on a news program on T.V; that the Government was being over-charged, $17 dollars, per-muffin. So exactly, how much would that actually cost the Government, for every Government Office in one city, which needed muffins? Well someone is getting rich, and it's not our Government, it's the people making the muffins, and there sure are a lot of muffin-maker's in the U.S. 

Going back to the Head Start program, that where run by the Federal Government, and not by the appropriate-people who should of ran that program, a program that should have been ran by the school districts, in those particular cities that still had head-start programs: which by the way don't work, because of mismanagement, and simply because, the Government did a study to learn if Head Start even mattered or not. And guess what people? The kids who didn't attend any Head Start program, did just as well, as the Children who did. So the Feds have been wasting our tax dollars on that program for years! All of which was supposed to help all those poor people’s children. There was only one problem; "the program never worked!" Now that's what I call; "government working at its best!" Our latest Governmental shut down, has been years in the making...and basically it's all because of Governmental waste! And because the Fed's didn't make sure that the money that went to subsidies was even going to the right people, the people whom needed it! Our country is in billions and billions of dollars of dept. But will anybody in Government; "ever stop all of this unnecessary spending?" They stopped all that unnecessary spending with the Head Start program! Now that money is allotted  to a committee which is set up to make sure, that the appropriate programs that work for kids the most, will receive the most money. YES!

Now the other reason, for all the problems was and to some degree still is because of all the fuck-ups, which Wall Street has made in the last 5 or 6 years. The housing bubble was their biggest mistake; "has helped to destabilize the entire globe!" Why? Because those Wall Street idiots, sold their worthless shit, to other countries as well...which, is responsible for destroying other countries as well. Wow! Add that to one of the most, one-sided, trade- agreement's in centuries. Where we buy everything! While they buy a lot less of our stuff, while making everything that we manufacture a lot cheaper, and selling those products at cheaper-prices. Couple that with the fact, that we have school after school, dedicating education to business-management or as I like to term it; “micro-management.” Rather than dedicating more schools to educating engineers, and to people who create NEW things. Some businesses even got rid of their brightest inventor's and engineers. Why did these big-corporations go and do that? Now why would any supper-power allow that to happen? Can anyone tell me; "why a country that depends on labor would do that?" You can't stay on top, without people inventing new products! Not everyone can be a coffee-bean-pusher in business. Someone out there in the business world; has to be an inventor, by inventing America's next new-products...otherwise, American Business, will be in the shitter. Which they are! Are you really surprised by our economic situation? Just to let you all know, I know I'm not! So all we are right now is a country, of a lot of bean-pushers...with no new products, to offer, along with a Government that is spending more-money then there is, a total combined number of new jobs...now or ever! So what is Obama to do? He's not Jesus Christ...but, I don't even think, that Jesus Christ could help us out of our financial problems now.
