I didn’t have anything against President Obama either, until now. He’s starting to act more and more like a Republican. I think he is a closet Republican.
Then he decided to not give government employees a raise for the next two years. Mind you these are COST of living raises. It’s not like it’s a raise for the heck of it, it’s a raise to keep up with inflation. That’s being stripped for two years. I read an article that congress and everybody agrees that the money ‘saved’ from taking government employees raise for two years isn’t enough to make a visible dent in the deficit, so why bother? Because it’s to placate the public into thinking the present administration is cutting back on federal spending. Really? Taking money from people and their families, isn’t going to take care of the out-of-control spending by the government. It just makes the government workers poorer than the public which probably makes them happy.
And the government isn’t taking any money from anybody, they just aren’t doing what they’ve been doing every year since who knows when. Does inflation not hit government employees? I could go on and on but the point of this entry is:
WHOSE FAULT IS IT???
Of course she’s happy with him because he’s standing his ground about giving the rich tax breaks and since she’s estimated to be worth $1 BILLION. She’s getting a HUGE tax break. Not me. I can barely afford anything and my taxes.
This reminds me of the ’70’s. Work hard and have nothing to show for it. Yipeeee. I always saw myself in this situation.
Thanks Oprah and President Obama.
