HOPE

11/03/2008
HOPE

Hope is the expectation of a desirable result in face of odds and the evidence to the contrary.

The voters for Obama and McCain must “believe” that their candidate will make a difference that will be to their own personal benefit, regardless of the current economic situation and the reality of the country being broke already.

No one from the followers of either side wants to believe that they must now make personal sacrifices, not only in financial sense, but also in limits in their so called personal expectations and choices.

For instance the social costs of divorce, teen pregnancy, health care, child raising, crime, justice, gay rights, disappearing morality all have costs that can be translated in to dollars.

Free trade may get us more stuff, but it is also the cause of lower wages, lack of health care provided to workers, lack of full time permanent employment and more.

The excess spending on the military where billions nay trillions of dollars are wasted and stolen and misspent, (yes I know this personally).

The United States today is becoming more and more like a third world country. Is there a Plan?
