I'm not sure but I think I may have to stop my routine of watching local and national news starting at 5:00 p.m. on most of the days of the week. I say this because I'm getting these weird feelings of anxiousness some kind of anxiety and I'm not sure where it's coming from except for the only thing I can imagine is the constant stress that's going on in this country politically speaking. I try to stay away from political comments in my blogs just because they just seem to be everywhere and the world doesn't need another soapbox rant. But as far as my mental health is concerned maybe it's worth ranting about. I woke yesterday morning pretty early- - as usual- - actually worrying about folks with disabilities being rounded up and taken to some sort of facility to be neutralized, vanished or whatever term one wants to use to indicate that people that might cost the major population are being taken out and disappeared. A year ago I would have said that was really paranoid thinking. I wouldn't have thought twice about it actually will sometimes it's kind of fun to play that game of what if but nowadays it gets pretty spooky when I watch the news and see the ice people jumping off their trucks in their military fatigues and hooded heads and running after these folks that are theoretically in the country illegally and rounding them up in the trucks and taking them to who knows where for who knows how long and then what happens to them? For once even some of the people here where I live, mostly old people, are also beginning to consider what's happening. There's still a number of holdouts which worries me because I think they would actually March themselves into a gas chamber if they thought it was for the common good and to make life easier for young people. That's really crazy and begins to scare me a little bit. I saw something tonight on the news or they actually Drew parallels between Hitler's 1930s and what's going on now. Been I have been trying to bring this attention for some time now but seem to fall on deaf ears but now someone else's seeing it and I can't believe people aren't doing anything about it. I mean there are blatant laws being broken and no one's doing anything about it I mean at the legislative level I mean Congress and stuff. They're just letting them get away with it and falling back on the old legal court system and stuff and I know that's all we've got but pretty soon it might be too late. Anyway I was laying in bed and wondering is this what a coup feels like? But there's an uprising of the people going against the dually elected folks- - or when the duly elected folks keep doing things that are against the middle class and lower class populous making decisions cutting programs all aim to increase the wealth of the upper middle class. I doubt we're ever going to get back to where we were I just don't know where we're going and Hope I'm not in the crosshairs of anyone's political weapons..
How the arrest and deportation of people who illegally entered this country equate to Hitler's genocide? I don't see any parity there. We need to focus on supporting the citizens of the USA, especiailly those that are in need, such as yourself, rather than a bunch of people that are illegally here. Our tax dollars are wasted left and right by the government on things that do not benefit the people, but when you have millions and millions here illegally that are taxing our social programs, increasing demand on housing, especially subsidized housing, it only further exacerbates the problem. Your real fear shoudl be that our government spends this country into so much debt that another large economy (China, India..etc.) becomes the world economic standard and starts dictating how or when or if we can issue debt to pay our bills. If that ever happens you will see draconian cuts, those that are in the most dependent on government funded systems will suffer by far the most.
ReplyDeleteFactor this, our country is over 30 trillion in debt, to pay the debt service alone we would need over a trillion in surplus annually to pay that, to pay down the debt it would require more. Our elected officiials cannot even balance the budget to eliminate deficits let alone garner a surplus. That should scare you and it is not correlated with only this administration.
Nicely written but it doesn't change my mind. Thanks for responding
