Soap Box: Rewrite the foundation of our country?!?

Obama has been saying things that sound a whole lot like communism and socialism. Today was no different.

I was watching him give a speech and heard him say that he is preparing to rewrite the foundation of our country.

Isn't the responsibility (which he swore to do) of the president of the United States of America to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION? Now he wants to re-write it?

I think people need to start being creative in a capitalistic sense. Make jobs for yourself. Where some industries are suffering others are doing well. Find your niche.

Sometimes I feel like a "Hitler" figure is trying to raise up a depressed country. Scary. He says we deserve this-that-and the other. He is imposing socialistic ideals to try to solve other people's problems. He wants to buy out and be a secondary lender! Do you realize that means the government will own our homes, cars, etc? That is not how this government was meant to be set up. We are not here to accept everything from the government.

Some of you may say I am hypocritical. I am using Medicaid and Food Stamps to take care of my children. This is a program created to help people in need. Unfortunately it is firstly unconstitutional and secondly poorly managed. I will be the first to say that they need to change how they run such a program.

The LDS church has a very good example of how to run Food Stamps. The Relief Society President talks on an individual basis to the mother of the family. She helps set up a meal plan for two weeks time which gives them a list of food to mark off on a list. Then, when they reach the Bishop's Storehouse those are the only items they can get. NO IMPULSE BUYS.

Food stamps is helpful due to allergies that plague so many of us. Still, I know that sometimes I see things and go, "Hmmm, that would be nice..."

As for Medicaid. Well, too many Medicaid users decide it is easier to use the ER than to make an appointment and wait like normal people. Those are expensive visits that get paid for by tax payers dollars.

I understand there are many people who benefit from these programs who are perfectly upstanding people. I also know that the programs are set up to keep people stuck in them. I have only seen the housing programs set up ways for people to actually get out of being in the poor cycle.

I want to get out from underneath the governments thumb. Obama wants everyone answerable to the government. All of this government regulation will only create more problems. (Wasn't it the government who encouraged banks to get unwise people into homes they couldn't afford?)

We deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is what we deserve.
