Lets us reflect!

In lite of the the most resent tragedies, once again we as a people are depending on, and looking towards the Government for answers. This is the same Government that people for lack of a better term, has deemed intrusive, overbearing and down right out of control. Oh! what a difference a tragedy makes!! This week the new congress begins it's operation "revert ". First on their agenda is a feeble attempt to repeal the history making health care legislation, and to stop the progression of the last two years on a whole host of issues , some of which people are just beginning to see affect their lives. There are signs that the financial crisis although stabilized, still remains fragile. The slight decrease in the unemployment rates coupled with the growth of small businesses starting to hire , are all signs that we are headed in the right direction. People are still hurting I see it everyday. I myself wittiness the pain of my family member a vibrate proud woman having to go to the local Health and Human services office for assistance in restoring her electric. Which was disconnected on her 77Th birthday! I might add. If this congress gets its way these programs and many more like them will be among those that will be slated for cuts in an attempt to balance the budget and decrease the deficit, while at the same time giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest 3% of Americans disguised as job creating opportunities. I ask you America If these tactics where so effective, then how did we get in the mess to begin with!!? We all know that we need to decrease the deficit, but not at the expense of the poorest of the poor. You can not on the one hand say we must reduce spending, and on the other hand give huge tax breaks to the upper 3% of money earners, which are not paid for but will be past on to us! and expect a decrease in deficit spending. America ! lets hope, no lets demand that this year it is not politics as usual, but that both side will come together as a unit that has been charge to do the bidding for all of Americans not special interest, and not just lip service. America deserves better! I'm just saying.
