Times are tough, there is no denying that. However, were people desperate enough to vote for Obama over McCain just because they thought he would give them free money? I know, I know...Obama stood for change and hope and all sorts of other stuff that young people love the sound of. But based on what has gone on since his election, is it possible that a lot of people voted for Obama mainly for the handouts?
Obama government grants are something many people thought they were going to get. They had hoped for school grants, grants for Moms, home repair grants, debt relief grants, grants for medical expenses, and just generally a lot of free Obama money coming their way.
President Obama did pass the stimulus bill and it is the biggest handout of our taxpayers money ever but it seems, most of it is going to big companies and state governments. That money is indirectly helping people by saving their jobs and creating a few new ones but it is not the direct handout of cash that so many people thought they were going to get.
We see evidence of the desire for free money and free stuff in the news every night. The Obama health care bill is the big thing right now that is getting all the coverage. Why do you think so many people want universal health care? Is it really because they are concerned for their fellow citizens or is it because they think they might be able to get something for free.
In 2009, 47% of the households in America won't owe federal income taxes and you can read about that here on the Clinton News Network. Yet these are the same people that are screaming that they have no money and want free health care. This society has become a society of leeches and everyone seems to think they deserve free things. They think that just being born gives them the right to all the things that past generations had to work for.
The Obama free grants culture is a dangerous one and it is something that has to be reversed if this country is going to survive. There is no free lunch and that is a saying that more Americans should familiarize themselves with.
