What the hell do you mean? A Veteran, diabled or not is still an individual in this country and like the rest of the haves or have nots is deserving of every equal consideration given to the rest of the masses! What does my disability have to do with the price of tea in China? Yes, I made some bad decisions as it turned out. But let me tell you, my decisions were based on investment strategy, according to Wall Street and government expectations of the future! Had the government not insisted that Wall Street extend all these unprotected loans, most of this nonsense wouldn't have happened in the mortgage markets. Yes, I purchased a home on a low rate variable interest loan, hoping to make my equity on property value increases. I did that on the recommendation of three different government approved mortgage brokers. It was a tried and true practice for years and years. People got rich on these types of investments. Just because I made the decision to take a licensed broker's advice doesn't make my initial decision bad. It turned out that the insistence and lack of foresight we experienced from our lending institutions backfired on all of us. I got caught up in the crash. Had I done this years earlier, I would be the wise investor. Besides all of this rant and raving, I would never blame my inability to break even each month on my disability. As a matter of record, I'd like you to know that I'm still ahead of the eight ball and haven't needed the bailout yet. I don't want your help. However, I think I'm just as qualified to get it as all of the working poor you're so anxious to defend. You won't see me standing in line with my hand out either. I simply don't want to lose the roof over my head and have to live in my car with my wife and daughter. I hope that isn't a wish you would deny me, regardless of your position. There's enough blame to go around and I'll accept my own. If I can't recover the same way every other honest, legal citizen in this country does, then I'll fold with the rest of them. I refuse to whine and cry with all of your have nots that haven't worked for the priviledge of taxpayer rescue. It's hard to believe that we're even having to consider a taxpayer recovery of the nation as a whole! What is completely unacceptable is the consideration of our taxpayer dollars going to illegal citizens and unnecessary pork projects. There are too many true Americans that are suffering today and I don't want one cent of my tax money going to anyone that hasn't earned the right to get it. If you want to be eligible for American taxpayer generosity, you should become one.
I'm simply tired of the waste and the smoke being blown up everyone's asses. This ridiculous stimulis package will provide nothing but grief to all of us, especially our children and grandchildren. The sheer amount of interest on this initial loan from China will ruin the financial markets. Hell, we can't even afford to pay the payment right now, let alone the millions of dollars in interest each month. Simple mathematics should show even the common man/woman that it'll never work! I don't want the government to fix everything. It's the government that made this mess happen in the first place. I'm tired of hearing about Repubs and Dems being blamed too, but the fact is, it's government in general that has made a mess of everything. Socialism will not return us to Democracy, period.
I'd also like to thank you for your lack of support for our forces in battle. I don't care what your reason is, it will never be "OKAY" in my mind to condemn their action in defense of this great country. Now we've got the annointed one announcing our withdrawal in 2010!! What a stupid, stupid thing to say. All that has done is provide the enemy a timeline for ramping up their own agendas. The troops we leave in country will be overrun and we'll be right back in the thick of things. Too much blind ignorance is happening here... I remember Viet Nam, do you? Does the term "In Vain" mean anything to you?
