I thought I would blog on this,
since it's been on my mind a lot lately. I made a Facebook status that
made my family laugh, but I one that I actually believe, and it read "I think two of
my aunts working together could fix this country's unbalanced budget."
My dad's two sisters are great at financial planning and never have
problems with making numbers crunch the way they want them to. They
always know how much they can spend on lunch or movies or a shopping
trip, and rarely do they allow themselves to overspend (unless those
sales are amazing).
It makes me wonder how the people elected for these positions,
elected for their "skills" (I use quotes because I honestly wonder if
they have any skills at all), can sit back and have so many meetings
about the problems in this country (including people living on park
benches, in tents in the middle of a Michigan winter, and unable to feed
their children), and yet still not reach any semblance of a conclusion
or solution.
I honestly don't know how it is so very hard to shuffle money around
and fix the deficit, even if it means cutting funds to some
organizations. Yes, those organizations will have to also make changes,
but everyone had to make changes when the economy crashed.
Does anyone have any sort of opinionated explanation for me?
