Modern Economics

Hey guys! Sorry its been a little while since I posted....here goes another read.

I was excited to see the senate was able to come together last nite to accomplish something! (Its a miracle) Apparently legislation was passed to extend unemployment benefits and fund road projects totalling $10 Billion. This is greatly needed to simply carry over many Americans until new jobs are created. I have the link to a CNN article that goes into detail about the senate and the bill (http://m.cnn.com/primary/HqVknZ-iUjDo8zriu). Take a looksee and educate yourself on this matter.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who works for a congressman about the state of the economy,congress, republicans vs democrats, etc. It is really sad to see that our legislatures truly care more about personal gain,party affiliation and sabotage, than actually assisting their constituents. Its rather disgusting. Please understand that if the United States were really united, we would not be in the economical crisis that we are. Many bills are not passes simply because of the person introducing it. No matter if the bill could benefit millions of people or not. I love America and I truly have pity on it. I pray, we as a people can pull together, and fight for what's just. I have hope that America will rise again! A internal change will be necessary to do so!
