Assigned Entry #4

It is pretty amazing what America has come to. I do not believe George Washington would have ever expected it. He expected other things like if there were ever political parties that people will vote for the party not the idealism of the people that are running it. But not this. After watching Capitalism A Love Story by Micheal Moore, one really gets to see how messed up America is. Some things are just beyond common sense. Our country is not billions of dollars but trillions of dollars in debt. 59 trillion dollars in debt as of today and is increasing second by second. Some of it is us as, citizens, spending money on things we can not afford. Then there company bailouts. Which is ironic. Capitalism is supposed to this ideal system where people has a chance to try and make the best thing out there and if they do then they will become rich doing it until someone else makes something better. This is a system that is supposed to encourage growth in both better products and encourage people to be the best one out there. One of the natural things that is supposed to happen in this system those who get beat by another are to fall. To fall because they did not adapt to the new need of the public. But that is not what is happening today. These business have gotten so big, greedy and controlling that when they fail our government bails them out. Bails them out because supposedly without them we would be worst off. But why is the government meddling with this system? If these companies are not able to handle their money wisely and each time they fail our government bails them out then what is stopping them from not trying to succeed in being debt free? They get basically free money when they choose to be careless with it. Why are we promoting this? In just bailouts alone we are 9 trillion dollars in debt. Would you keep letting a friend borrow money from you, knowing they will never at least try and pay it back? I hope not. This film is filled with facts of how America is tainted. This was something that bothered me, but there is certainly more bothersome things that happen in there. And is why I am asking you to view this film, critically (because everybody has a lean on something), and start changing how you look and the businesses you go to and the in debt government that pays them to keep their doors open.
