The Republican Party is Broken, and We Need to Fix It!

I stopped by the store the other day, and answered the phone to a very irate client. It happens from time to time, and so you learn to deal with them angry. It takes a great deal of calm and patience, and usually ends up with them either being more understanding of the situation, or with them demanding to see my manager. Oddly enough, this wasn't either of those phone calls. The lady wanted to know if we could train her on how to use computers. I replied that we did, but that we needed to come out to her house in order to do that, and that it would be $159.00 for one hour. That might seem steep, but that's about what we make doing our usual jobs, and it doesn't make business sense for us to charge any less. The lady was quite unhappy about that, which quickly turned into a rant about how Obama was screwing up our economy, and how fat cat Democrats were ruining everything else. I let the customer know that I agreed with her, but that wasn't enough for this lady. She kept me on the phone for 12 minutes while she complained about everything under the sun, related all to politics. Mostly, I agreed with her on her points, but calling into a computer repair shop to argue politics ... I dunno ... seems counterproductive. At one point, she stopped rambling and told me that I seemed to have a good head on my shoulders, and asked why I wasn't doing something to "change the world." I told her that I was too busy with my real job, and given that I was only 25, not many people would listen anyway. I thought it was funny. She was a little exasperated.

She brought up another interesting point. What the hell happened to the Republican Party? With an ample supply of ammunition, why aren't we fighting back harder? It's almost like no one wants to go after any Democrats for the fear of a counter of what we have done in the past, and almost with good cause. We haven't the best track record in recent times, and it's way past time that we started reforming ourselves. Get ready to take some lumps, own up to some failures, and then start off from there into a platform of less taxes, less social agenda spending, and more political honesty. Tough economic times mean less spending, not more. America is tired of the petty politics, and we need change. Well intentioned policies that are wrong ... are still wrong.

Perspective ... I haz it.

Seriously, this website really puts it in perspective. How much really is 1 Trillion Dollars?
