Why The United States Of America Is Also Having Economic Problems

Hello World:
I want to continue, from the last post, talking about that countries need to do something to help its' citizens. I will talk about the United States of America's economic problems in a moment. I need to add in here that you should NOT run a country and serve the people by using debt or owing someone else or owing another country.

Proverb 22:7 says in the second part of that scripture, the borrower is servant to the lender. Borrowing money is not a good way or smart way to live, because you become a servant to whom you borrow from, and you are not financially free to do much of anything; because what you have, can be legally taken from you; because it really is not yours.

You can also become stressed and worried about paying off what you owe, which is not healthy. So, that is why it is so important to live debt free, as an individual and for a country. Budget and spend within your means. Having the power to borrow money is not all that great a thing. Borrowing money is easy. Almost anybody can borrow money. The question is does the person have the power to actually pay back the money in a good reasonable time?

I have an excellent credit record and rating. Having a good or excellent credit record and rating means two things; one thing is good, and the other thing is bad. The good meaning to a good to excellent credit, is that you are good or a credible person, when it comes to handling money and paying back money. The bad meaning to having good to excellent credit, is that people or financial institutions trust you or look at you and try to bait you into taking on more debt, which again is not good.

So, again, it is always best to do as much business as you can debt free, with the only exception being in the case of an emergency. However, when people go into debt, they need to create and implement a plan to get out of debt or to gradually pay down that debt and eliminate that debt AS QUICKLY as they possibly can.

Now, I want to say some key things about the United States of America, that country's President Barack Obama, and why I believe it is also having economic problems similar to other countries. I have mixed reviews about President Obama doing his job, overall. I disagree with much of his foreign policy. However, I believe the bad economic times with high unemployment and national debt of the United States, is not entirely President Obama's fault. First of all, Obama inherited a bad economy when he was elected president. Obama did not cause the economic meltdown in America.

The economic meltdown in America started AFTER President Bill Clinton left office, and Bush was elected, and Bush and both Republicans and Democrats from Congress took the bait from Bin Laden and borrowed all this money from other countries to fight against terrorism and to further build up America's military. Goverment leaders, in America after Clinton and primarily during the Bush era, borrowed too much money, that America as a nation is still unable to pay back.

Also, today, it is the American people's fault for electing a divided government. A major problem with the United States of America is that the government leaders and representatives are made up, primarily of two parties; Republicans and Democrats. There is a very small percentage of independents and Tea Party members also.

However, you as American people are not smart to elect a President of one party, Democrat, and then elect Republicans to be a majority in one or both houses of your congress, and then expect those leaders from different political parties to get things done or to solve problems. Nothing good is going to get solved, because the repesentatives and the president have totally different view points and idealogy. The leaders in the United States government are a reflection of the people. What you really have is a divided America. The people say they are citizens of the United States of America or Americans, but The people of America are divided and do not even realize it.

There really needs to be some changes to the U.S. constitution. The way the people elect representatives who are so far apart on many issues, it is like putting a crocodile and a wilderbeast together and asking them to agree on some sensible ideas. They do not agree on anything. That is the problem. So, why do the American people vote in leaders who can not agree on basic social and economic issues to help people?

In order to get the leaders of America to actually do something to help the citizens, the leaders have to believe in the same thing and agree, besides the same old patriotic mumbo junk talk. To be in agreeance and effective in solving the economic problems in America, something needs to be set up and done, where the American people need to be ruled by one party at a time. As an example, the presidential election should be standard to which party gets to rule as a super majority, of 60-40 percent for the other elections in all other national government elections.

That way if you have a Republican who wins the presidency, then the Congress or law makers will, some how, have to be super majority of Republicans in both houses for the 4 year term. If the president elected is a Democrat, then likewise, he or she will get a super majority, of his own party of Democrats, in both houses for 4 years. That way, when major issues come up and major problems need to get solved, there would be NO gridlock to passing legislation.

More than likely something will get done for the American people, because you would have people elected in those government offices who agree to a great extent on ideology. However, the way the current American system is, and how Americans vote for gridlock to happen in government, they can not get mad at Obama or Congress when they can NOT agree and get things done. The American people need to get angry at themselves.

One last thing, awhile back, I mentioned that it appears that in 2012, Obama will be re-elected, just for the simple fact that the Republican party candidates seem just too weak or not strong enough. That still seems to be the case, however, with the economic problems looming large, people in America are blaming both major parties, Republican and Democrat.

Henceforth, there does remain the possibility of additional political parties or organizations, which could enter into and affect the 2012 election. Such extra parties or organizations could offset, counter, dissolve or take away the voting power of democratic and republican voters; and Obama could lose and leaders from both Democrat and Republican parties could also lose. So, at this point I am saying that possibility exist.

Another thing, no matter what those Republican and Tea party candidates are promising, if any of them did happen to beat Obama for the 2012 presidency, whoever he or she may be, will still have problems keeping those promises and solving problems; if the American people, again, elect a congress consisting of a majority of the opposing party, to that president. I will be back in a few days.
