It gives great perspective on how and why we (the U.S.) are in the financial state that we are. It's not all political or aligned to a specific party's fault. Definitely worth reading and understanding how this all came about. Unfortunately, we are all to blame as a society...and the prospects for the future are not all that pretty regardless of administration.

I believe, despite outcomes we may or may not like, it is one of our rights as citizens to be able to cast that vote. Yes, it may not result in what one person or another desires, but we do have a voice. To give up on the process is to say that your voice doesn't count. Had the outcome been different, would you have the same opinion. With this new administration, we have to still believe that the US will prevail and we have to let time tell us. Who knows what the eventual outcome will be. This new president inherits a ton of baggage and it will take more than one person to turn it around. We have to have faith in that. I go into this new year tentative, but still hopeful. Unfortunately, the Republican party has suffered a bad rap for several years and the general population was fed up. I don't think it was the man (McCain) that was the wrong choice, I think Americans, as a whole, were fed up with the current economic and Iraq/Afganistan situation, that it didn't matter who the Republican party put up, they were going to vote differently! My advice? Stay positive, stay hopeful, VOTE because it is your right as an American to have that one voice. Each and every voice adds up to millions and even if the outcome is disappointing, we still have to have faith and believe that we will still remain strong as a nation. Keep the faith!gr8fulmom22https://www.blogger.com/profile/10128400340872966060noreply@blogger.com
