State of the Union…My Point of View

We citizens are all allowed a say, huh? Good or bad…Listen, I hate the Robin Hood mentality, taking from the rich to give to the poor and we all need to contribute but we need to think about the contributions the rich make now, providing work for others….And the new minimum wage sounds real good and I want better for all of our workers, but you and I have to pay for it. You kidding me, we both know the price of a happy meal is going up, as the corporate cost goes up the cost of his product goes up. …Closing loop holes in corporate taxes, ok we can do that, but there again, his cost goes up in more taxes and you and I pay more for his product….There ain’t no free lunch, folks, you know that and I know that. Remember what the cost of diesel fuel used to be and how we all wanted to go to diesel driven vehicles. Well, the government (EPA) said we need to reduce the sulphur content that diesel engines produce and made the refineries lower the sulphur. They did, adding the refinery steps to take it out. Where is the price of diesel now? Well, you know the answer. It is higher than gasoline creating higher transportation cost for all our goods nationwide. Truckers fuel sur-charges are out of sight. For every action there is a reaction…that will not change. We can close the loop holes but you and I pay for that also, don’t kid yourself….. reform of immigration….sounds good, huh? We will tighten up the borders and keep out illegals…Now, let me see, 8 million granted amnesty is 1986 and maybe 11 million granted a form of amnesty in 2013 and in about 25 years from now you can almost count on another 4 to 5 million wanting amnesty providing we did tighten the borders, but probably more like 6 to 8 million. I don’t know, maybe it will be different this time…You reckon?…Well, I am just an old fashion American and not really ready for the modern era and the new math required even in addition, I mean, what comes after trillion?????

The administrator of this site may need to upgrade his calculator (or learn logarithms) before he will even need to know what comes after a trillion. The same is true with most politicians; therefore, the administator needs to run for President. He makes more sense than our current President did in the State of the Union speech.
