So after i did my last blog i got talking to Brandon a lot about it. He thought it would be a good idea to start this blog and get people to comment on it or blog on there own blog to let people know how they feel about the situation.. and maybe it will send this chain reaction that will make a difference.. just maybe.
WE don't know a lot of details but we do hear things and talk to other people about things the government is doing and how things are being run. It would make more sense to have a first grader in the government, to put in line these high mighty people who have all these master degrees..blah blah blah.
We are hoping that Michelle Obama $10 million plan to help child obesity is going to be worth it, because well they are spending so much money in that area, the money is needed so much more elsewhere. For example. . tax paying citizens who can't afford their medical bills or their mortgage payments, can't even afford to have kids, and so many husbands and wives are losing their jobs. Especially here in Oregon due to the measure 66 and 67 that was passed any small business is now being taxed more. How did that happen? Anyways, we think when the money is put in the right direction we might get a positive change. How about they provide those jobs to the people.. so they can afford the healthy food needed to keep their kids from becoming obese. And how about we let the responsible parents take care of their family so the money can be put into the right place at the right time. Of course if our Country wasn't in this situation, i do think that would be a great idea to help those children with obesity. But not hear and not now.
In so many areas millions of dollars are being put into these types of things. There are so many we don't even know of. The only reason we are in this mess is because of that.
One of President Obama plans to help A fish: (from Brandon) A fish in farmers canals were going extinct. So Obama put a plan together after a lot of thought, that he would shut down the canals so the farmers couldn't water their crops in attempt to save this poor fish. Outcome: Farmers can't afford to fill those canals if that water is not used for their crops. So farmers stopped paying for that.. which caused canals to dry and turn do dust. What do we think happen to those fish? they died! Now 20% of our crops have to be imported because all those farmers crops died! Now those farmers are also out of a job. Good attempted though to save A fish Obamba... i mean Obama.
Well running out of time.. Brandon is getting too worked up here. lol. We are off to church. But right your thoughts and frustration too.. let it out and maybe starting here on blogspot.com will make a difference.
Brandon and Kristy

you are right kristi, it sucks. all of it. I do not want the goverment in more control, hello, doing a crappy job as it is. BUT yes something has to change. we are in a big mess still with all our medical stuff as well. try and work with your provider, all you can do is try. i got so overwhelmed when my first two were tiny, and it sucked. wow I sound postive!
One last thing, I read a blog a while back talking about the same thing. She said something that really struck me, and freaked me out. She talked about teaching and training up our girls to choose to have a midwife when they grow up and have babies and to have a homebirth. Really, can you imagine a goverment that is willing to pay for big families? Nope. 'oh ma'am, this is your second baby, well we'll have to tie your tubes now, this is getting to be to expensive.' Scarry eh? The bummer is that there will never be a good middle ground not with Obama for sure.
oh and p.s, don't more to canada! I would miss you!
