State of the Union Address
Wednesday. 1.31.07 10:53 am
Preflection - Well, I'd like to first say that i don't support Bush. I think he has no idea what is really going on in our country because he chooses to look the other way. Statistics can be manipulated way out of proportion to say exactly what you want them to say. At first he talked about our economy and how our unemployment is at an all time low. Well this does not line up to what we have been learning in sociology. According to what we have learned in that class, the homeless count is growing and there are lots of people that don't make enough to even get out of a shelter. So i guess Bush could be correct, that the unemployment is down but at the same time, the people at are working aren't making enough to get them to a point where they can even get a home. That is something he probably knows about but just chooses not to talk about. Also, just after listening to all his plans, it makes me think that yeah it is a good plan, but how good is it going to work? He talk about getting our country out of debt in five years. But then goes on to say we are going to make new technological advances with other sources of power so we don't have to be dependent on the middle east for oil. That is going to cost a lot of money. Also he was talking about more things going on in other countries to help them out. That is going to cost us even more money and in order to get rid of a debt, you have to first stop spending unnecessarily and start putting the money into things that are short of money.
The one thing i did think was a really good idea that he talked about was the immigration from Mexico and other countries. how they could have a temporary pass into our country so they don't have to spend so much time trying to catch people that sneak in, and can put more attention on drug smugglers and terrorists.
The only problem i see in this, is when people get a temporary pass IN, how will we make sure they get OUT when their time is up?

Reflection: Most of what we talked about in class today fell right in with what i thought before class. Most of the people were saying they didnt think Bush would be able to carry out all of these plans hes talking about and save us money. If he carried out all his plans..it would cost us MORE money! I thought it was really cool to see the money counter that Alex brought up in class so we could see how much money we are in debt as a country. It is going to be our generation that has to get us out of it and we need to learn all we can now to do the best job later.

His plans don't really work.... actually I should say his plans don't work at all. Everybody knows he's not very smart. Most people don't actually know the facts like you do though...
