Stuck in the Crossroads

So I remember vividly my first day as an awkward freshman here at CU. Now here I am less then two weeks before graduation and I am at the start of a mini-nervous breakdown. NBD. It is crazy that all of the training I have received in college is about to be put into use. Let's see if I can do it. As many of my readers (all three of you) may know, I have learned more about social networking then I have academics here at CU. We will see if all my social networking pays off. My plans are unclear and my road here at CU has been bumpy, but I know this is where I am supposed to be. I was meant to be a Theology major and a Political Science Major, now I just need to figure out why I was mean to.

Silly Time

So let me tell you how tired I am of hearing about whether Barack Obama is really an American citizen. I am even more tired about hearing about how we have more "serious" things to worry about and how we need to solve them. Is he really doing a good job solving them, when he refuses to compromise. I am all about him rebuking Trump and showing his birth certificate, but if he really wants to make progress, drop the Chicago politics and work together with congress.

Budgeting Woes

We are on the verge of a government shutdown in our fine country. For those of you do not know what that means, it means that if our lawmakers cannot come to terms with a national budget, then as of April 8, the government will not provide "non-essential" services. These include: police, fire fighting, armed forces, air traffic management, and utilities.

This may sound like a good plan on the outside because we will be saving money, but what it is going to happen is that frankly, millions of Americans will be getting screwed. And I am not talking about nuts and bolts. Over 800,000 furloughed Americans will now be out of a job.

A big question being raised is who is going to pay for our military. This article really got me thinking. Should the military and armed forces really be considered "non-essential"? As of right now, they are very essential. Pentagon Press Secretary, Geoff Morrell didn't even have an answer when they asked him on Tuesday.

Tom Donnelly, director of the Center of Defense Studies at the American Enterprise Inc., said that this is not unique of Obama Administration. He says Obama says if you cut my budget proposal than "babies will die." According to Donnelly, this is very dangerous politics. Obama says that it is the Republicans who want this to happen, however the Republicans say that they will do anything possible to keep the military paid.

This is getting old. I am tired of two viewpoints running our country, yet they never compromise. Because of this, Americans are suffering. The same Americans who vote these politicians into office. We vote them in, yet we get no results back. Our needs to be built up, not divided. Now Americans are paying for their elected politicians shortcomings
