This "Change" We hear of.

History was made. Barack Obama was Elected President of the United States. True to the Liberal ideal of Bigger Government, he even made a New office, The Office of The President Elect. Now during the campaign he promised the people that our government will "Change" and "Change" and "Change". I do not want to kill peoples adoration towards him or his socialist ideals( if you didn't know that, you should really research your candidate before you vote), but the only "Change" that happens fast usually ends in a Revolution or Tyranny. It cannot just occur. I have asked alot of people, at work and on the street if I see them with an Obama shirt on," What does Change mean to you?". It's sad when I get an answer that is vague. The usual answer was, "Change means to me that the government will be different."

Another response was( and one I will never forget), "So the government gives me money."

I feel most of those who voted for Obama will be disappointed. The media supported halo will eventually turn and in that, he'll fall from grace. From his own victory speech, with the inclusion of "We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. " Sadly, he was running for 2012 in that statement. That upset me. To those that voted for Obama, check out the new site. http://change.gov/

The Agenda

President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.

The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.

Here's some Quick Suggestions:

Economy- Since Spitzer had all his charges dropped, put him in charge of SEC, after all it was some angry bankers who tipped off government officials which led to his resignation.

Health Care- Have a non-voting government official on the boards of major insurance companies.

Create loan programs for those who have medical bills more than 20,000 dollars to prevent bankruptcy. We did it for Wall Street.

Education- Have uniformity among all schools in the US.

Social Security- Remove the Cap on Payroll Tax. Problem Solved.

Energy- Government involvement in some type of Manhattan Project. Unemployment is 6.5 percent, put them people to work. Also take people who can work, who are on Welfare.


Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan- Don't screw up. Listen to the Generals. Give them what they need.

All in all, nothing much will Change. Thats what's great about our government. Those Checks and Balances to prevent Change from occuring briskly.

The Change that will happen is we will just be a little farther left than we are right now. Then in 4-8 years, we will be going more towards the Center, then a little farther right.
