Today I Get Into Politics.

I, like ever early twenty America, don't care about politics.  Unless we're talking about the extreme conservative or hippie 20 year olds, to which are just spewing the shit they heard from their parents growing up, or in a Grateful Dead song, or better yet Fox News.

I honestly only heard about Obamacare yesterday from my boyfriend.  I have Medicaid and I'm basically set.  But wait, what?  Something kinda like universal health care?  Sounds good to me.  Because I am poor.  If I can get healthcare then yes, let's.

But I see that so many, and I mean MANY, are against it. All the news is describing it as "controversial requirement that all Americans purchase health-care coverage of pay a penalty"  What a negative way to put it.  How about Obamacare "gives basic healthcare to 30,000 more Americans."  or "makes people start giving a fuck about themselves and others."  Even a republican in the Supreme Court voted to uphold it.  And that was the deciding vote.  So many republicans got all butt-hurt and pissed at him.  Even calling him a traitor.  I feel like so many people just pick a side and stick with it no matter what they believe.  Republicans always have to vote the same conservative side and Democrats the liberal side.  This guy, John Roberts, followed what he truly believed.  No matter what side he was on.  If more people actually thought for themselves and was objective about all these issues I bet the people would be more happy.  Politicians just want to WIN, they have these huge egos and to win must oppose the other side with all they got.

And Obama is holding interest rates on student loans.  Thank fucking GAWD.  I have so many loans and no degree- ran out of money that I never had before I could get a BA.  I have a good job but I still struggle.  Why is it that it is so hard to move up in this country?  Shit like student loans, and other stuff I GUESS.  But I'm talking about student loans man because this country just isn't helping kids get degrees.  With this economy you're going to need a degree if you want a job you can live off of.

“College education is one of the best investments America can make for our future,” Obama said in Chapel Hill. “This is important for all of us. We can’t price most Americans out of a college education. We can’t make higher education a luxury. It’s an economic imperative. Every American should be able to afford it. So that’s why I’m here.”


THANK YOU OBAMA THAT'S WHAT I'M SCREAMING.




I guess I'm done with this blog for now, going to work on my Batman review that will be blogged soon.
