A Sour Lemon Twist (Extra $0.59)

As far as I'm concerned, the U.S. National Government can be a little incompetent sometimes... As a young adult, I have been advised not to get a credit card because soon enough I'd be putting every purchase on it and have this huge amount of debt, bad credit if I didn't pay it off, etc. Why is it that the national government is being as reckless as a young adult? Because it obviously is one.

 With all the new hundred dollar bills I've been receiving as a cashier. This seems a bit relevant.

 Why don't we print more money? Print trillions of dollars to pay off our debt and more. Well now that would be just too easy. The economy would have to adjust to a massive inflation and then everything turns into a complicated order. SECURITY!

Meanwhile in other countries, the U.S. is trying to help gain control of the governments and restore peace, as well as pulling other countries out of their economic collapse while we are coming up on our own. Maybe they'll help us in our time of need. Probably not.

I really am hoping we'll vote a president in office to help fix our financial situation. I know 4, even 8 years isn't much time to pull us out of our debt whirlpool, but I believe it is achievable.

My conservative stepdad speaks of how our education is incredibly important because we (the U.S. government) are bringing in 11 million immigrants and making them citizens "overnight." We, as young adults, compete with them for our minimum wage jobs that exist. This will obviously increase the labor pool as well as unemployment. We already need to create jobs for the current unemployed, labor pool. Why do we need to bring more people in this? Because our big businesses can get away with paying them little to nothing while the rest of us want a raise? It's incredible how cheap America already is, there is so much money flowing in and out of our economy. There is need to support our current population. We can't just bring in more. Every foreigner I encounter speaks how great America is. I am really getting the feeling it isn't as great as it sounds anymore. Just waiting to finish my degree, buy a plane ticket and get the hell out of here!
