Stimulus Check: Round Two

Although the first stimulus bill approved by former president George Bush gave Americans cash, it also gave them a sense of false hope. I mean he [George Bush] gave out $700 billion dollars just so everyone can cut $1,000 dollars off of whatever debt they already owe. The end product was still a withering economy, no jobs, and even more debt.

When I first heard about the basic plan of this bill I thought it was a great idea. I mean you get the money, you go out and shop until you drop, then all these stores go back in the positive and start hiring more people which in turn puts more money out into the market. So this sounds great on paper, but in reality I knew it would fail. Simply because mans basic instinct is survival and not economic revival. So if you have an outstanding debt, then you WILL chip away at it rather than spend money shopping to try and boost an economy. I don't blame the American people for taking the money, mainly because I benefitted from the stimulus too, but rather I think the money would've been better used in creating more jobs. Now with that said, there are plans now for creating more eco-friendly jobs. This is what you call a two-fer. You create more jobs and you help the environment. We desperately need to help the environment too, but that's another subject for a later time.

So all in all, for President Obama to pass the second stimulus is still questionable in my mind, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. I honestly hope the economy gets better through this stimulus, but I just don't see it happening.

A cry to a blinded society

"Economic Slavery"

" Slavery is a dictative condition where one human being declares ownership to another".... think about it....

My outburst is not to old slavery. Neither is it about race, religion or national orign..NO! It's more contemporary and lives with us today. Society is so blinded by the urge to make profits and get wealthier that the injustices against its members is not only overlooked and justified, but almost deemed a norm. Consider this.....

.....Every time you succumb to the temptation of your sweet tooth an eat a chocolate candy bar, somewhere in west Africa, a child is working cocoa farms from sunrise to sunset for about 25 cents a day or no pay in some cases.....poor working conditions, no healthcare, just t name a few...

.......Every time you buy a pair of expensive trendy shoes or clothes...somewhere in the US, a sweat shop is run employing illegal immigrants for less than minimum wage and no benefits as they pursue happiness in "the land of milk and honey"

.......Every time you take a breath, somewhere in Thailand, sex slaves are auctioned to the highest bidder....children as young as 8 are usually preferred by underground pedophiles who travel internationally to satisfy their sick desires.....Women are used as maids serving anywhere from basic to sexual needs.....

These soul-destroying brutality is not only unacceptable, but inhuman! I am not telling you not to eat a candy bar or wear the latest Nike shoes.....No....there are some legitimate manufacturers out there and organizations like the UN, UNICEF, WHO just to name a few who are trying to stop these atrocities........just be aware....open your eyes!
