Dear, U.S.A,

Hello! Long time no see. How are the colonies? Anyway lets cut to the chase.

This is my view on the latest news I heard about you.

The 700 billion dollar monetary injection smells/reeks of party economics. Think about it. Why do this so close to election period? Is the Republican party priming up its chops for a Democratic win?

1: If the democrats win the election, the additional 700 billion DEFICIT would be a black eye to the new administrative party. How are they going to go through with their platform? Aren't they going to be so swamped in fixing this "genius idea"

(Hey! We're in debt... what should we do? SPEND MORE! I mean we're not responsible anymore arent we?)

How are they going through their plan.. they are going to abandon it aren't they... Flipfloppers. We need staunch people to run the country... a government of resolute "Deciders"

2: If the republicans win... It easy to spin that one. "To solve this financial crisis, we shall propose more tax-cuts for the rich to jumpstart the economy, to pay for these debts. The 700 billion spending is nothing compared to the revenue we will reap from it **cough** in the next generation"

Not to be harsh, but the your economy was kind of good (i mean GREAT) before GWB set foot in office. The previous term, you had an economic SURPLUS. Consistent misguided (oxymoronic) economic decisions have put you in a spiral of deficits.

Now a change in administration wouldn't necessarily solve this problem, but a good long look at the American ideal is needed. The US isn't the powerhouse it used to be, and should be more careful about

a. What your government spends on
b. What your corporations spends on
c. What your people spend on

And fix your foreign relations. The world needs you as much as you need the world... We can help... seriously. Get that monkey off your back and his cronies too.

--Hugs and Kisses,
the Rest of the Countries in Earth

The bill was rejected. Honestly I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. I believe that something has to be done very quickly or things will get worse than anyone alive today has ever seen in the U.S.

Unfortunately it seems the majority of the people in Washington are still more concerned about advancing their given political party then actually fixing the nation.

Add to that the fact that the average American is more concerned about who Miley Cirus is (bleep)ing or when she will finally leak naked photos to realize our country is dieing.

Today the stock market took the biggest dive it has ever seen. Unfortunately today is also Yom Kipor so we have to wait untill tomorrow if to learn if anything can be done about it all, or rather if anything will be done aside from bicker and blame.

Everyone pray that I get my EFL certification and can one day leave America :P J/K in spite of our suck I like America and I really hope it comes out the other side of this in tact.
