Elections

Election month is drawing very near and this could explain the left and right bombarding from each other's camp. I am not trying to inject bias here but in my opinion, Obama has done a lot of good to at least prevent US Economy from sinking more into a black hole. Everything he is facing right now are result of years and years of risk, debt risk taken by previous leaders. It is not right to blame him that the economy is recovering slow. People should give him credit for at least trying to prevent the US from falling more. A man can do so much. If you have watched both the Republican and the Democrats nights, and you have been very attentive to every word, you will know where the inconsistencies are and I am not here to mention that. We all notice different things so I'll leave that up. Hard as it may as we want to admit but the world economy is dependent on US recovery. They have always been that one to balance international market and we all can't wait for this great nation to get back on its feet again. The Election this year would be a very good gauge on how our children's future going to pan out. Vote wisely and vote by heart.

Sinking Middle Class

I am not sure on what era you've been born but as to mine, I can very well tell you that we have a good working class. In our times, Middle Class people lives a good life. Decent salary, good living, and can afford some vacation every now and then. But what happened to our Middle Class now? Why is it called Sinking Middle Class? I wonder when this all happened. It was like we woke up one day and suddenly the Social Gap changed. There was no Middle Class anymore. It went straight from rich to poor. I have never witnessed an era with such a big gap of difference with the "have's" and the "have nots". This is really saddening that our children will grow up in this generation. I want that Middle Class to go back to where it has always been, to experience once more the grandeur that comes along with called being a Middle Class. We have to do something about this real fast and we can't let a Sinking Middle Class a regular thing, that can never be.

London Bridge is Falling Down

Eurozone is a very interesting subject for me. I take Merkel's courage to put up the fight and continue to protect the region. That can be really some hard decision making there. I mean, Germany can just choose to bail itself out, talk about how vulnerable Italy and Greece is right now, I am sure that most would say they are not very enthusiastic with the situation. And this is funny because that's when I thought of that children's song "London Bridge is Falling Down". I don't have anything but well wishes for the entire Eurozone. I have done several businesses in Europe and I can say that it has always been good times. Europeans are generally nice, laid-back people. I like how slow and relax their days are. I am sure that with enough patience and perseverance all of us will get through this recession. There will be better days ahead, you just gotta keep on holding on and do what you do. These are tough times and in times like these, we need better decisions and sound realization of things and I am sure that we don't have to sing "London Bridge is Falling Down."

US Companies Outsourcing

And so we heard the culprit, Corporate Tax! There's been massive pullout by big companies out of state. These companies stated that relocating their principal business office could save them $100M in tax money. I understand that most of them would still maintain their manufacturing plants stateside. If this allegation that transferring their principal business offices in other countries will save $100M, I can be quite sure that there's something wrong with the current tax laws. US Companies Outsourcing will never happen if our tax laws are updated and works well for both the benefit of the company and its employees. But, who are we kidding? We all know that management and workers have different goals. Companies should be willing to gain some and lose some because if we don't see a good solution for this sometime soon, I am quite sure that in a bat of an eye every company will soon be moving out and that's bad news for everybody. That's a lose-lose situation right there. Our beloved Representatives and Senators better do something about this soon. We don't want US Companies Outsourcing become a norm.

Interesting Era

I could never be thankful enough that I wouldn't have to worry about who to vote this coming election because I'm voting neither of them. Although I'm quite most likely sure that it is going to be a long road to recovery. This is also a good time to test our resilience during difficult times. We should all learn how to adjust and be flexible whatever circumstance comes along the way. I know that this era is very interesting. This kind of phase is when people become more innovative just like the industrial period which turned out to be one of the most significant turning point in history. We are living in a very interesting period and I am very proud to be a part of this generation and experience all of this with you all. All of us has the same dreams for our children. A better country for their future, good governance, and the best environment for our children's holistic growth. I have worked with several public servants from the government and it is just so frustrating to know that there are many people whom we gave our complete trust and putting them in office but despite this, some of them choose to close their eyes to what is morally equal and just. I am not sure how these people sleep at night.  

Election Year

Everybody's so caught up with the coming election this November. Have you got a candidate yet? I don't think it's a matter of being a republican or a democrat anymore, that tug-of-war has long been gone. We should all start thinking forward and forget about our political affiliations. The most important factor is who can manage to help us all get out of this slow economy and I have to tell you that this country didn't get here overnight. It was years, decades of financial mishandling and we all are suffering this now because of miscalculated risk. Some analysts can even crunch numbers and percentage of how this country's growth is going to fare in a year or two but we can't simply rely on "Estimated Growth" for in the first place, we are all experiencing this now because of "Estimation." Sometimes estimation doesn't go the way we thought it would. What we need right now is a stable plan for growth. It will be a slow process but I believe that people can be resilient to undertake current challenges for a better tomorrow.

Guns, Guns, Guns

Everyday news about irresponsible gun owners circulate every state and this isn’t really something we should be accustomed to. Can you just imagine a seven-year old child accidentally shot his playmate dead? Seven-years old don’t know what guns are and personally, I think that we should held the parent’s responsible for such thing. States have different rules on gun regulatory ownership. We could all argue that gun ownership is a right to protect ourselves and I am all for that. However, I find it disturbing that irresponsible people are given license to carry. Gun owners should be more responsible about upkeep of their guns especially if they have children inside the house. Kids usually mistake guns for toys and this as we all know ends in disaster. We can’t afford to compromise our children’s safety over careless storage of our guns. We need to organize more lectures about how people should be diligent on keeping their guns on safe storage.
