OK, so maybe this goes without saying, but I'm already tired of the 2008 presidential campaign. Sadly, we have another year of this crap to go! This feeling of dread, or perhaps loathing would be a better word has really been brewing for years. I've really grown weary of politicians in general. So many of them are so far removed from reality that they cannot relate to the "common folk" if you will.
So here we are, the 2008 presidential election run and every one of the folks running has been in politics way too long, in my opinion. I really believe that there should be a limit to how long one can be in office. Term limits? Sure, I think I'm all for them. I'm tired of pols having no clue about real life. No clue about the real struggles we have in life. And that leads me into another area...
OK, so I'm reading a story in the paper regarding a family of five struggling with bills and unable to get assistance. The reason? They make too much money. They make over the $24,500 maximum to get assistance. Just one more shining example of moronic government policy. What's sad is that they cut off all support at 25K. Don't you think it would make sense to offer partial assistance up to a certain degree? Nope. Just cut ya off. No wonder people stay on welfare for years and have no desire to try to get off of it. You start earning money, still not enough to support yourself and the government cuts you off.
