I can't believe that I haven't touched this in 4 years and it doesn't look like anyone was reading anyway. 4 years later and what has changed. Billions of dollars have been spent, lost, earned, borrowed and given away. America seems worse off than in 2008 and we are continually told that progress is slow and it takes time. I feel like we stepped backwards instead of moving forward. Maybe that was the natural ebb and flow of the times, maybe it was as a result of poor leadership and maybe it goes back further than that. A few updates since my last post: we're still broke, China has us by the balls, neither political party wants to work with the other, still at war and the status quo seems alive and well. We've ridden this disgusting "Status Ho" for as long as I can remember and she's looking a little used up. Now don't get me wrong my friends, I'm not against taking the beaten down 2am girl home for a roll every now and then but wouldn't it be nice to get some "strange"? Two parties, same shit different day. We recently had a debate between all the 3rd party candidates, how many of you watched? Come on. . .be honest. . .hardly anyone. I know there is some skepticism when looking at 3rd party candidates and I understand some of the apprehension but neither Obama nor Romney have offered a solution to balance the budget and all the 3rd party candidates did. Now, I know it's easy to say that you'll balance the budget and it's another thing to have the ability to do it. Explore all the options, no matter how different it might seem or how much they smell like that reggae concert you attended when you were 18. Have an open mind and you just might bring home some strange.
