American Dream 2013







What's going on with the American dream in 2013????  Stuff is going on daily in our own little world as well as the world at large. But, over the past 20 years or so our country didn't face all of the budget cuts and layoff crisis as we are seeing now and all at once amongst all races. Unemployment rates in most states are at an all time high from highly educated people to the lesser educated people( I can also say from the doctoral degrees to the high school degrees). The local government wants to and is cutting Medicaid, food stamps, education, voting rights, women rights, and future rights.  When I first moved down to North Carolina from New York, I was amongst those needing help to get on my feet. I had two young children and I actually thought moving south was a good thing. I found temporary clerical jobs that finally lead to full-time work. But, I did need assistance for the first few months of our transition. I eventually went back to college and obtained my degree because I believe in accomplishing what the American dream has to offer. The dream of having a career you are passionate about and where you can feed your family and live comfortably. I mean is that asking for too much??? A job, a house or nice apartment, and a decent car??? Money to go on decent trips??? Money to buy your children decent clothes???? Money to pay your bills??? Yes, that is the American dream, yet many cannot obtain it. Why?  Well, Society can't say that American's aren't trying. American’s work day jobs and then go to school at night to do better and be better. Yet, the government both local and federal is making it hard for people to do. Where are the jobs when you finish school??  When you knock on company’s doors, they respond, "not hiring"! Where are the promotions when you go back and obtain your degree??? You work at some jobs and they are glad to promote you, then you work at some jobs and they don’t care that you are improving yourself to get a promotion. So, if the government knows this why would they cut the temporary support needed until the economy cycles around again for the betterment of the people?? Why encourage people (especially young people) to go get their college education as expensive as it is then hike up the student loans to where they cannot get a decent job to pay it back?????? I went back to school so my degree plus my years of skills and experience and positive attitude amounts to what?? Where is my management position J.O.B.?????? Even in creating my own business is difficult because of the economy. I am not giving up, but I need a decent paying job until I can succeed in making my business come alive and then hire people. I mean isn't that how it works? Start businesses and create jobs?

KJV: James 1:3 “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.4”But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing”.

Have faith and patience knowing that through it all and after it all you will want for nothing because God will supply all your needs.
