Optimism
If you are anything like me you maybe sick of hearing about the healthcare debate, unemployment rates, and the latest political scandal. I get tired of hearing about these topics all the time, and they are all so pessimistic in their ideology.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support the current healthcare bill, but I believe and have hope that there will be a better option for healthcare needs reforming. I don’t like when people lose jobs, houses, and put stress on their family, but there is so much emphasis put on the UNEMPLOYMENT rate when the EMPLOYMENT rate is actually quite high…90% if you ask me that is still pretty high, one out of ten people doesn’t have a job, but nine do that is good, I think that it is good for Americans to feel a lower employment rate every once in a while so it reminds us of the blessing it is to work and be a part of this great country. Not to mention that higher unemployment increases competition and innovation making people better, stimulating growth, and forcing people to get higher education.
I am also hopeful of politics…is that an oxymoron? Just kidding…It is sad that over the years Americans are caught up in the “party” mess. Why can’t it be like the old days when the people voted in politicians because of the integrity they had and what they stood for? This is how the first six presidents were chosen. It would save millions of dollars spent in campaigning and political races that could be put to lowering the deficit and we could actually have stalwart political representatives really chosen by the people, rather than running candidates that are voted in. I am optimistic that great leaders will be chosen in the future that will lead the country well.
I could probably go on but I just had to get it out there…even though there is so much strife and adversity in the world there is still much to be grateful for and the be optimistic towards. The future is unknown but that is what makes it great.
