Let me ask homeowners out there something: Has the government EVER made your mortgage payment for you? They haven't done mine. But Hillary Clinton wants to take $30 billion of yours and mine hard earned tax dollars and do just that. Here's the breakdown of her "economic stimulus plan":
Clinton's plan would provide $30 billion for an emergency housing crisis fund for states to help low-income families unable to make mortgage payments; $25 billion to help low-income families pay their heating bills; $10 billion to extend unemployment insurance for people unable to find jobs; and $5 billion for alternative energy programs.
Ok, heating bills, I can SORT OF understand. Unemployment insurance? Sure. Alternative energy programs? I'm ok with that. But $30 billion to help people make their mortgage payments? This is going to sound very cruel, but fuck 'em. They knew the risks associated with homeownership and chose to roll the dice. If they cannot afford to be a homeowner, then they should sell their home and move into an apartment. The United States government has not made ONE SINGLE mortgage payment for me. They didn't do it when I was struggling in my first condo I bought, and they aren't doing it now that I'm better off.
The only reason why they are even doing this is because mortgage companies got greedy and people overextended themselves. Both parties should bear the brunt of their fiscal irresponsibility. I could have easily bought a much larger home and lived in a better neighborhood. But I chose to be responsible because when I pay for something, I want to own it. Let's break down that $30 billion shall we?
That's around $100 for every man, woman, and child in the nation. Now, unemployment is at around 5%. That means that out of the roughly 300 million people in this country, 15 million people aren't contributing their $100 towards this goal. Take your stereotypical husband, wife, two kids home, and only two of those people most likely have jobs. So we have roughly 135 million people paying for this proposal by Hillary (300 million / 2 because of kids not having jobs - unemployed folks). That's not even including the disabled, retired, or tax cheats.
That means that my share of Hillary's proposal is roughly $222 dollars. I don't think it's really all that fair that I get up early in the morning, drudge through traffic, put up with the usual bullshit one does during the course of their work day, drudge through traffic on the way home, and do it all over again so some schmuck who overextended himself buying a home he couldn't afford can avoid fiscal responsibility.
Hillary's troubled fiscal ideas are coming at a time when we need to be as responsible with our money as possible.
Even President Bush doesn't seem to get it:
Clinton told the New York Times in an interview she "absolutely" believed it was possible for Democrats in Congress to work with Bush to enact a stimulus package early this year.
But Bush has said any stimulus he is considering would most likely focus on tax cuts rather than spending.
Cut the fucking spending! It's absolutely mind blowing that people don't get that this country is spending money faster then it can make it and it will only make matters worse later on down the road if we don't do something now.
Hillary makes matters worse by not seeing how illegal immigration is sucking this country dry.
In broken English, one woman told Clinton how she wasn't making money as a broker anymore.
"I have no income at all," she said. "So how will I survive?"
Choking up with emotion, the woman said, "In my neighborhood, there are brand-new homes, but the value is nothing. I'm glad you are here so I can tell you, because you're going to be the president, I know."
A man shouted through an opening in the wall that his wife was illegal.
"No woman is illegal," Clinton said, to cheers.
Hillary, just because she has a vagina, doesn't mean she's not here illegally. Hillary cannot be trusted to fix America's problems and she certainly cannot see cause and effect, something they teach in second grade.
Now, illegal immigrants certainly aren't the biggest problem with our fiscal health, but they certainly are not helping matters. I fail to see how building a 24 foot high concrete wall like the Israeli's have done wouldn't solve or put a massive dent in illegal immigration.
Such blatant disregard for our nations laws shows what kind of character Hillary has.
