On Recycling and Fiber Optics!

Two items that seem to have been lost in the Obama shuffle these past three years are recycling and fast internet access for all! Somewhere during all those exciting stimulus throw downs, during that disaster in the Gulf and now the election cycle; the basics have been largely ignored.

While the environmentalists have bridled and squandered their time ‘looning’ at a single pipeline running from one border to the other; they’ve been strangely quiet as tens of thousands of trucks laden with the refuse of a nation trundle towards landfills each and every day. Trucks brimming with discarded plastic bottles, steel cans, paper and glass. Much of which could have been recycled, but which is now destined to be the problem of future generations as it slowly leaches its toxins back into the water we drink.

Meanwhile, in rural homes all across the country, moms and dads struggle with poor internet speeds. The President’s promise of better connectivity for all...dead almost as soon as the words left his lips.

Three years now, the Democrats have been in charge and my nation. A country that finds itself on the brink of a new war as it labors under a burden of debt that is increasing by leaps and bounds. President Obama and his Administration have managed to levy a sum of over $16,000 of debt on every man, woman and child in this country with another year yet to go.

Now, as I sit here writing this tome with gasoline at an all time record high, out of work and a dim future ahead of me, I want to thank you Mr. President. I want to thank you for nothing!
