Once again, Congress is debating extending unemployment benefits. If you take the time to talk with those who are fortunate enough to be working and to those you have yet to find a job, you will definitely get an earful. The debate will get heated and heated fast. This is just one of the major decisions facing our elected officials in Washington.
While many of us are concerned about fellow Americans being out of work, we also know that the Federal Government can not continue down this current path of spending. Unfortunately the hard choices must start here and now. It is unfortunate that we are heading into the Holiday Season, when we all want and desire to give our families everything possible.
Time has run out for the American Working Class. No longer can we sit around and wait for a better job to come our way. A minimum wage job, is better than no job at all. We may have to work a second or even a third job, just to make ends meet. This is a time where we must all pull together or we will come apart at the seems.
As hard as it will be for both Democrats and Republicans, we can not extend the unemployment benefits. Will they take heat, absolutely! But, now is the time for Real Leaders to step up and stand strong. Now is the time for Hard Choices and for all of us to Stand Strong!
Americans need to sit an example this Holiday Season. We need to tighten our belts and our pocketbooks. Our Holiday Spending must be realistic and reasonable. As much as we desire to buy that expensive present or presents for our children, we must think about the reality of what it will do to our bottom line. Purchase the things that our families need not just what they want. Make the Hard Choices for yourself and your family.
