Comentary #2: On "Let's Not Follow in Greece's Footsteps"


I completely agree with you Megan. In your editorial you are talking about how both republicans are doing too much talking and not enough action. And inevitably the clock is ticking, we only have a month till we start the New Year and still no action is taking place. All I see is one side wants this and the other side wants that. There is still no in between point, no compromise.

 Another thing is what you said about how Medicare and Medicaid are being abused by the American people. I believe in actuality they should never be removed, like you I feel there should be some changes at least. Like a way to actually define who is eligible to gain these benefits. I for one have seen many people who are capable to do work and have the strength to actually get stuff done but decide to stay home because it is easier for them to gain that benefit. America in other words is becoming lazy. Actually no, let me rephrase that; the American PEOPLE are being lazy.

To be honest I feel that your comparison between America and Greece is very accurate. Greece was one a great empire; wealthy, prosperous, the people were happy. But then everything took a turn for the worst. And the great Greek empire started to crumble. And if Obama doesn’t act fast we too will fall victim to that economic down turn. Actually it’s not even all Obama’s fault. It’s the fact that both parties are acting like little kids playing in the sand box. One wants to build a castle while the other keeps throwing dirt in his face and destroy that castle he is trying to build. I’m sorry but America is not something to play with. They have to find a way to reach that compromise and fast no more lsmall plays. It’s time to throw that Hail Mary and hope for the best.
