my rant

you don't need to read this. i just want to vent.
<rant>

i'm getting so sick of this recession that we are in right now. our government yet again screwed us and the rest of the world with their greedy, money grubbing, oil crazy, war mongering crap that they pulled for the last 8 years. now our citizens are hated world wide and who is to blame. all these companies and state governments are looking for hand outs and getting them. how can the world economy recover by giving bailouts to these corporate and government firms. with no income coming in from the taxpayers it seems like a bunch of bull. it's like putting more fuel in a sinking ship. not only are we encouraged to spend money that we don't have to help save the economy, but our hard earned tax dollars are what is paying for these bailouts. it's like we are paying multiple times for someone elses snafu. how come it seems like the less qualified stupid idiot is always the one put in charge. i'm sorry if you liked the Bush Administration, but i'm soooo (ya, 4 o's) glad it's finally over. i work hard for a living and making ends meet is getting harder and harder. if i fail and can't pay my bills where is my bailout. unfortunately we have real morons that run the company i work for, and in these hard times the future is bleak. people are losing their homes to foreclosures and some can't even afford heat as heating costs are rising by insane amounts. last year my heating bill was on average $250 a month. this year it averages $400 a month. my rent was raised by $80 a month. the electric bills are increasing. water and sewer are increasing. food costs are increasing. paychecks are decreasing. currently my bills account for 80% of my paychecks for the month and that's not including my food intake and gas for my car. if i didn't work on pc's as a side job i couldn't survive. in these hard time people are forced to choose between paying bills or putting food in their stomachs. nothing i hate more than being screwed over and expected to take it in stride.

oooo a rant lol

but yeah i agree with you. im glad the bush regime is out as well. (the highest dept raised in history, started a war (i did not think we needed to go to iraq)etc. etc. etc......)

and now people cant even get by on minimum wage and are having to scrape up everything they have just to barely even survive. and we give (unwillingly) our tax money for the bailouts and what do they do with it, the CEO's go on a $400,000 retreat.

theres my extremely short rant lol

i really hope so. not to bring skin color into it, but he's black, so i know he's not part of the 'masons'. which is good. i think he might actually be for the people. which should be good. as his campaign statement was, "Time for Change". it's would be nice if he can fix the crap our previous government got the world into. it's unfortunate that the rest of the world suffers as well for our governments greedy way.

[shashanks18]

btw, Bush yestrday made a comment in his last speech dat India will miss him, jus to defend his presidency, by puttin India's name in, coz v signd the Nuclear deal wid US...LOL

Now I must say something. There is crisis in Europe and do you know why? Now is winter, the EU is in dept for Russian gas so they have closed the vents to WHOLE Europe. The dept is estimated to be over 1,2 billion US dollars. Over 120 ppl died of freezing in Ukraine and Belorussian. Fortunately, I spend my money on electrical bill and in the winter seasons it goes around 7000 RSD that is around 102 USD per month. My mom makes 55000+ RDS because she is boss in her profession but still she works her ass out. We have many more things to pay when it is not the season. We use wood to heat our house inside, and 3 electric furnace. That is why we make the bill so high. I know it is nothing comparing to your bill but we only heat up 3 rooms (that is where me and my sister sleeps, and the other apartment where grandma lives) and an old wood furnace in the living room where we burn the wood from the trees that felled this fall.

Long story short, trust me I hate every government even mine, but I love the people that are politically correct, and honest to other ppl. And to be honest, American government and Russian also, deliberately started this crisis. Just for the record...

This was mine a bit long rant, but I think you wouldn't mind reading it. lol
