Stimulus Plan

I'm going to keep this plenty short.

I cannot fathom how the U.S. is planning on paying off the estimated 1.1 trillion dollars this plan is going to cost. I have also seen plenty of examples of the places where this money is going that have nothing to do with economic stimulation. If they are going to call it an economic stimulus plan, they should make sure it is a plan to stimulate the economy. I'm extremely worried about how this is going to play out over the next decade.

Partisan Politics

The two party system in American politics does more harm to the US than it does good. The Republican party is not just a place where people with like ideals reside, it is also a place where people go to form their ideals; the Democratic party is the same way. My point is; people should decide for themselves what is right and wrong on issues and not just let their party decide for them.

Summary: if you are uninformed on an issue, do not automatically assume your party has the right answer. This behavior would be ludicrous.

Gaza

The world is up in arms because of the current situation involving Israel and Hamas. Many are calling it a massacre and world leaders are calling for a truce. The death total is currently near one thousand. What I am concerned about is the uproar (or lack of) about the genocide Darfur. Their death total is up over 300,000. Three hundred times that of the Israeli conflict. There isn't even a comparison, however, the focus still seems to be on Gaza.

I'd also like to point out that during the attack by Israel, Hamas is also sending their own bombs. I'm not saying I support Israel, but I certainly do not support Hamas. Contrary to popular belief, Hamas had it coming.
