Stimulus that will stop America from eroding from the Inside Out
February 2, 2009The last presidential election, the Republicans
rallying cry was Obama wants to distribute the
wealth. President Obama’s victory shows that the
Country is yearning for this type of Change.
We are in need of major infrastructure mainte-
nance. Yes the roads and bridges need repair,
however our social programs are in need of re-
pair. I do not consider money to shore up edu-
tion on Sexually Transmitted Diseases that is on
rise unneeded. It appears that our states are
operating on a deficit and cutting much
needed programs that support there populus.
For example there recently was a case were a 13
year old girl was reported missing and later found
dead. After further investigation it was discov-
ered that the child was a foster child and that the
foster mother was being charged for the childs
death. Last year in Washington D.C. there was a
fatal discovery of 4 young girls found dead in
a home. This tragic event was only magnified
by the fact that this home was supposed to be
under investigation by a social agency because
the school reported that the children were
reported with scars and dishelved clothing
as well as reports of truancy from their
school. There are many failures sited in this case
but the overwhelming failure had to do with bud-
get cuts and the addition of another case to an
over-worked under staffed child welfare staff
in the District of Columbia. This is a reality
throughout the country. The sad thing about
this social errosion is that it has been going
on for years.
