Our anxiety in America: citizens ponder their fate

By Frosty Wooldridge

In a New York Times June 29th op-ed, “Anxious in America,” Thomas Friedman mulled over America’s dilemmas in Iraq…American national economy and debt… and who might become the next president.

Either choice of republican or democrat scares the daylights out of Americans on both sides.  Few of the candidates understand average citizens’ dilemmas in their jobs, communities or schools.  Neither addresses what happens in the trenches of America.

Few give a hoot about the recent rapid increase in the US population, or the unlawful presence of more than ten million fully employed foreign nationals and their more than ten million kids and grand-kids.  The aliens have displaced lower-middle-class Americans in the job market, decimating those American families. 

Negativism rules the psyche of America. 

Thus, most Americans vote against the other guy instead of “for” a presidential candidate.  In the case of Barack Obama, he represents past paradigms, unending support for an endless Iraq War, old thinking and non-action or in-action.

Obama scares most folks as to his lack of experience, his association with the “God D*** America” spewing Pastor Wright, shady-hoodlum Rezko in Chicago and his wife’s racial bias writings at Harvard against white America.

Obama voted to give amnesty to more than 20 million illegal aliens in 2007—without any understanding of the $1 trillion price tag or demographic impact.  He has done nothing to stop illegal alien migration, to include visa overstay illegals. 

Obama voted to double current annual immigration from 1.2 million people to 2.4 million in the amnesty bill in June of 2007— which would have caused a catastrophic population overload within the USA.  Based on mathematics alone, this kind of short sightedness bodes poorly for a national leader, unless you are a progressive who loves open borders, multiculturalism and unlimited legal and illegal immigration.

None of the candidates support any kind of a plan to secure our nation’s borders. 

While they talk the good talk at the republican debates, republicans and democrats continue voting for insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring of American manufacturing jobs.  Most have crippled Americans with their votes in the U.S. Senate as to our national debt, $700 billion annual trade deficit, and no action on 400,000 annual anchor babies gaining immediate citizenship and welfare. Leaders continue the taxpayer burden of educating millions of illegal alien children along with billions for health care.  Obama has not spoken up for American citizens as to jobs being stolen or wages degraded. 

Nation-Building is mandatory

Friedman added, “I think nation-building in America is going to be THE issue.”

If you look around you, most Americans feel a sinister anxiety heretofore unheard of in this country. Gas prices hogtie, hamstring and paralyze the engines of commerce. Truckers fail by the thousands even as Obama gave the “go ahead” to allow tens of thousands of incompetent Mexican drivers to operate 18 wheelers across America—thus taking jobs away from American truckers. Car manufacturing jobs vanish overnight!

“Up to now, the economic crisis we’ve been in has been largely a credit crisis in the capital markets, while consumer spending has kept reasonably steady, as have manufacturing and exports,” Friedman said.  “But with banks still reluctant to lend even to healthy businesses, fuel and food prices soaring and home prices declining, this is starting to affect consumers, shrinking their wallets and crimping spending.”

For Americans holding the bag with an SUV or other large vehicle, financial bloodletting awaits at every fill-up at the gas station.  That funeral dirge continues at the grocery store where everything costs more money – mainly from $4.00 a gallon diesel transportation costs. 

Recession causes are obvious, and ridiculous

Mortgage felony crimes are extensive and numerous: fully half of the problem because our banks and other lenders gave away fraudulent loans to millions of illegal aliens, who are NOT eligible for federally insured loans.  American taxpayers make up the losses. Remember the S & L scandals?  Who paid?  You paid!

“Two weeks ago, Goldman Sachs analysts said that U.S. banks may need another $65 billion to cover more write-downs of bad mortgage-related instruments and potential new losses if consumer loans start to buckle,” Friedman said. 

Priorities are out-of-whack

Instead of spending $83 billion a month to provide social services to illegal aliens and their family members… and spending $12 billion a month fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, PLUS $10 billion per month rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan, isn’t it time to rebuild America?  How about our families, our communities, our roads, our infrastructure, our jobs and our citizens?

Obama doesn’t hold a clue as to what to do about Afghanistan.  He avoids any withdrawal plan, which means unending years at $12 billion a month on a national debt.

What does that mean to anxious Americans? 

Simple answer: our politicians do not work for us, do not serve us, do not represent us and they stand totally out of touch with us.

Our political leaders fail us at every juncture.  They fail to enforce our laws.  They fail to create a strategic energy plan.  They fail to pursue alternative energy.  They fail to enforce our immigration laws.  They fail themselves, our citizens and our civilization.
