Open Letter 8

[9dstpm]

Dear Sen. McCain:

As Roland Martin said so correctly on TJMS today: "The President of the United States should be able to do 2 things at once." Why can't you do the debate AND go to Capitol Hill to help with the economic crisis? I feel that as someone who wants to be the next Leader of The Free World, you should be able to do TEN things at once!! You out here calling yourself "The Maverick", why don't show us that you're one!! If Dennis could run his TV White House on "24" ever so smoothly with a crazy wife, crazy kids, backstabbing Congress, sorry behind brother, a mysterious virus, and oh yeah--the WORLD fixin' to blow up without breaking a sweat (and I'm not just saying that because I'm his biggest fan ever) surely you can do it too!

Now about the bailout: THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!! Why should my tax dollars go to help these greedy companies out? Goldman Sachs, AIG, Freddie and Fannie are not helping me!! Why are you even asking me to help them when I and Hubby and millions of other Americans who work every damn day can't pay their bills?? There's budget cuts at my job! My hours got cut! Now I have to find another job (If I can find one thanks to the sucky economy you helped to make) to make up the difference! Since the government is in the business of bailing people out, come bail me out!! Bail me out of my student loans, my daycare payments, my rent, my car note, my autistic son's therapy!!! Come bail me out!!

You wanna duck out of the debates because you know that Obama will mop the floor up with your old behind! Like the kids at my group home love to say: "You a punk!"

Signed,

An angry American Who's voting for Obama

Dear Federal Government:
My personal economy is failing. Please send a bailout package to me at my address. (the IRS has my current address on file). Please send a money order to the amount of $1 million. That's a lot less than the $700 billion Bernanke and Paulson are asking for. I can stimulate the heck out of my local economy with a milli. (Thanks, Lil Wayne. did I just use a lil Wayne reference? )

Signed,
a taxpayer.. whos voting for anyone BUT McCain

ps: Social Security
I got my statement and once again, WHY The hayle am I working? $967 a month? H(ow)TF am I supposed to live off of that? I am not making enough to save for retirement let alone an emergency!!!!

Dear Senator Barack Hussein Obama:
I am putting my faith in you to do what is right by ME, a struggling, college degree holding, single parent of one, employed voter. I am not asking you to work miracles nor make radical changes. All I want is a stable economy, checks on big businesses, affordable housing, affordable college education (I have 8 years until my kid is ready to go to UNC), affordable health care and a functioning Social Security system, and I want our soldiers home so they can help rebuild our own infrastructure. I don't think that is too much to ask. Please work on fully funding NCLB and IDEA, so that I can go back to working with the chirren, as that is my first love, but a sista can't feed or house her child working in the special ed field. Please don't forget the millions of us who are working hard to have a little piece of the American dream when you take the Oath of Office.

Thank you,
A voter.

IDK why I have so much stuff to get off my chest this morning, lol..

Dear neighbor,

I couldn't help but notice the Obama sticker on your car. Now I appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's think about this. You know where we are and who we stay with. I'm as excited as you are, but COME ON. You are asking for property damage. There's a time and a place to be big and bold, but on a whitified campus that's a block vote for McCain is not the one. Girl, you know if this was the hood, your car would get cut. Be smart about this, that's all I ask. Just come on to the underground--we have snacks.

Love,
CG (Go-bama!)

Dear Sarah Palin,

I have three words for you that were the mantra of your party...'Stay the course'.

Don't let the conservative base/commentators/bloggers/or editors sway you away from the bright lights and prize of being the first woman on your party's ticket.

You are a gift to the American people who have needed a laugh for many years now. Before Tina Fey, only Will Ferrell brought as much joy. For that I appreciate you.

Stay the course, Sarah! Don't let them yank you off the ticket albeit they have you sequestered like a juror on the (first) OJ trial. In several short weeks you have served Senator Obama...er I mean your party and country very well. After all, you have done one good thing for the economy...Tina Fey has another paycheck.

Like Iraq, stay the course, Sarah...DON'T CHANGE A THING!!!


Go Obama!!

Dear Warren Sapp,

I love confidence and it truly took confidence for you to wear that black Morpheus-like get up on Dancing with the Stars. You were awesome and very light on your feet...an extraordinary surprise. However, was that eyeshadow or liner that I saw? Your eyes were awfully 'bright'.

Enjoy yourself, I am just watching you.

Dear Nikki1920,

Twelfth favorite though?

You are hereby on probation!

dear crazy dentist,

you made me cry. how are you going to start drilling in my mouth and THEN ask me if i want to be numbed? nummed? i cant spell. how are you going to be all in my mouth and then chatter to the assistant that you THINK you hit "SOMEONE" on your way to work today... and that it was "PROABABLY" just a "TRASH CAN". at that point i was so shook i started texting and facebooking cries for help!

anyway... i've never had cavity so bish i didn't know what to expect. all that drillin and fillin was NOT the businesss. so, sodas and candy will be kicked to the curb. that is my responsibility - i understand. but as my dentist, it is your responsibility to prepare me for the most traumatic event i've had in a while. omg! and no sticker? i know im a grown woman, but any other time i get stickers and such. but after you took power tools in my mouth, i can't get nothing? and now why is my entire HEAD swollen?

grrrrr. i am so not happy right now.

[Senusret I]

Dear Still BluTANG:

Dear problem companies and George Dubyah,
I should have known when George Bush said he wouldnt ask tax payers to bail out irresponsible companies that he would do the exact opposite. There is hard evidence and proof that Republicans are bad for the economy. I don't think we have ever had a surplus under a conservative Republican president. For you people to be so conservative you do not conserve much of anything. Since you idiots think I'm going to bail out Fannie while her owners sit on their fat fannys you've clearly lost your minds. So I provide you with my economic plan:
1. Instead of making tax payers have to pay for these people's failures I ask that you sell us government bonds. Sell us bonds with a shorter time span (10-20 years instead of 30 because I dont trust the government that much) than the ones currently on sale (ie: 30 year). You must sell us bonds so that we will willingly bail out these corporate idiots, but not for nothing. We will at least get a return from the money we will spend to bail them out. Now the problem we have in this situation is that the interest to be paid to the people would be actually paid by the people if the government itself paid the interest on the bonds. Clearly, I'm not that much of an idiot that I'd ask you to let me bail-out the corps and pay myself back some interest with my own money. These companies will have to agree to incur the interest cost. This means that when they are back on their feet making millions and billions of dollars again they will have to pay off the interest on the peoples bonds. So, essentially we will loan the government money to bail out the corporate punks and the government will pay us back. Then the corporations will pay us interest as a thank you for bailing them out. This plan works for me in the long run because I will know that I have a sound investment that will pay off and I will get that money back and be able to use it in an economy where my dollar has value. Please don't think you can be slick because I will also require that these be inflation-indexed bonds. My grandmother's daughter didnt raise no fool. Oh, and just one more thing...In order for this to work Barack Obama has to be our next president (cuz I aint buyin chit from McBush. I'd rather invest in a chain of drive through funeral homes.)
2. End the war in Iraq. When a person like me can't pay her phone bill I have to make cut backs. I eat one meal a day instead of two, since I'm broke already I have to prioritize: I have necessity necessities or just regular necessities ( ex: I had to decide to buy an iron for $13 or save the 13 and get a text book I need (an older version of the one I really need) online and borrow an iron. I now borrow an iron.), you must learn to do this. The war in Iraq is an expense we need to get rid of. Another reason B.O. needs to be president.
3. Immediately end our dependence on foreign oil. (ok so I know it wont be immediate, but it needs to be as close as possible). Since this needs to be done ASAHP off-shore drilling is not an option. It is far too costly and it would take too long to work. So, we need to focus on solar, wind, and hydro energy. Yes these are expensive, but they are closer to one time costs. Once the solar panels are in you don't have to pay anymore because the sun is free. Now Palin will be in the dark half of the year, but its okay because she's used to the feeling of being left in the dark (you know, on things like foreign policy and the bush doctorine), but the rest of us will be fine. If we mandate that all government buildings be converted and all new buildings be built to use these alternative energy sources we will greatly depreciate our dependence on foreign oil. Also, we will have to divert some of those Iraqi Freedom funds to scientists so that they can develop some new types of fuels for cars that are effiecient (for the environment, for cost, and for renewability).
As an extra note a nice chunk of those former freedom funds need to be going to education. So that you can pay my tuition and pay for Nikki1920 to go back to workin with the chillins.

Thanks and if you need any more advice on economic policy/planning PM me!

Sincerely,
I.A.S.K.
