Is Obama Really Going To Give You Money?

People apparently voted for Obama because they thought he was going to stand on the street corner handing out cash. What are all the people going to do who think they are going to get this free money when they find out they will not be getting it? President Obama doesn’t have any money to give out and as a nation we are pretty much bankrupt.

Our country is in a really bad spot financially and people are just not informed about the situation. They have mo idea how the economy works and unfortunately they think the government is magic and has unlimited funds to give them money. This might be why so many people voted for President Obama thinking they were going to be getting some money out of it. What is going to happen to his popularity when things continue to go downhill and perhaps even get worse faster?

The government has no money to give and so many companies are going bankrupt as well. Yes, the government can just print more money but that devalues all the existing dollars and hurts in the end. That has, unfortunately, never stopped the government from doing it but eventually it will catch up to us in terms of inflation. That time of high inflation just might be right around the corner.

Obama is also tackling student loans and hoping to take private industry out of the equation. The argument is that private industry is trying to make a profit on our children’s education when in fact perhaps that is wrong. There is much disagreement about this but one thing is for sure: colleges cost too much and our kids start off in life with a huge college loan they have to dig out from under. Obama may be doing many things wrong but in this one area of student loans he may have the right idea.

All the spending the US government is doing may or may not end up working to keep our country out of more financial trouble. It may work but no one knows whether it will because we have never faced a situation like this before. It may also put our country in a deeper hole than ever before too.
