What Kind of Cuts?

What will be cut when our elected officials pass a debt ceiling raise?

I haven't looked up any information yet but I am taking a guess based solely on pass experience watching other "hard to agree upon measures".

First is Social Security. I'm sure some how they will find a way to cut into. They always take away from the working class.

Second is Medicare and Medicaid. Again this is likely a given knowing how our government works. They love taking away from these programs while forcing people to take Medicare upon retirement even if those people don't want it. Taking more from Medicare and Medicaid is like beating a dead horse - all you do is disturb the maggots and the flies. Problem here is that there are many many people that depend on these programs even if it is a dead horse.

Thirdly is Education. Politicians for years have been crying about the state of the educational system yet they continually take away more and more funding. According to a few National news interview a large number of politicians send their kids to private schools. Maybe that explains why they cut public school funding - after all their kids are protected.

Another thing that wouldn't surprise me with any "debt ceiling increase" is pork spending that will be tacked onto the bill. Cut spending in programs that help the general population but increase pork spending that only helps politicians and big business.

Seems the only reason we are in this debt ceiling mess is because of all the trillions of dollars our government gave big business to bail them out. Even that cost the general population because of all the governmental cuts to allow for those funds to big business.

Unemployed Not Welcome?

It is bad enough that our government isn't doing anything to help put America back to work but companies hiring or leaving the unemployed out in the cold.

Where does all this madness end? When will the American people stop being treated like second rate citizens of the world?

Our American government doesn't want to spend time talking about putting Americans back to work. Companies don't want to put Americans back to work - at least the unemployed. At the current rate of things the headlines in the near future will read - America sold for $1 trillion and analyst say that is an over payment of $900 billion.

Things We Don't Like on the Internet

The longer we spend time online the more we find things we don't like. Here are a few of them:

1. Those 20 second to 1 minute advertising's before a 30 second to 2 minute video clip. There is nothing more frustrating then having ads everywhere we turn. Thankfully when an ad appears on videos online I don't watch the video nor the ad. Isn't worth it to be bothered by commercials.

2. Facebook looking more and more like a pay site. If you've spent much time on Facebook you have likely noticed that all the games are converting over to use the Facebook coin system. Facebook is already a billion dollar business yet now they are getting even greedier by forcing us game players to spend money on their stuff.

3. Seemingly bogus information sites. Recently I searched for information about my Blazer. The site I found wasn't even the site that owned the information but a skeleton site that looked like the main site.
