I am at peace right now... well at least I was until I heard a good friend of mine lost his job.
Although he lost his job apparently due to a mistake he made at work, I am still ina contemplative mood about the economy. I think a large portion of people are frustrated- especially those how do not have jobs at the moment. I am frustrated myself due to the fact that I have to work three jobs to make ends meet, and the only insurance I can afford barely pays for my yearly exam (and it doesn't cuz I just got a bill in the mail). I used think government-run healthcare was the answer to my health insurance woes, but I realized that if the government cant help the economy or change the rise in unemployment, then how in the hell can they run healthcare? What kind of quality care can I get from an institution who allowed a bunch of quack scientists convince millions to invest in alternative energy and ignore issues such as a growing national debt and cancer research?
I have to admit that I voted Democrat this past November. I do not believe my vote actually counted (Texas swayed Republican), but I do feel guilty. I have since changed my mind about which ticket I should have voted on and although I can"t take it back, I can make a decision to be more informed from now on. I am on a mission... Whether it really matters, I will get back to you.
