Hawaii Day 2009 Day 1

First day! Hopped on a 900 am flight, got there around 12 noon Hawaii time. Beautiful weather, humid, still nice! Had a great view of the shore from the room, movies will come in day 2!!! We then grabbed a bite to eat, went down to the beach and got tanned within minutes. Later that night, we went up to a local spot and saw the city lights. Ran into some sportbike riders. Hawaii got tons! Got back to the room hopped on cloud 9 and we took a stroll down Waikiki. check back tomorrow!

As all of you already know, the economy of the United States of America is in bad shape, really bad shape. NUMMI, a Toyota-manufacturer based in Fremont, has cut tons of employees. GMC in Souther California closed down 11 dealerships, along with another 100,000 from the assembly lines. Even my mother only works 16-20 hours a week. How do you pay a mortgage with that? Tell me, please. Not only do people not have jobs, some don't even qualify for EDD (unemployment for those of you who didn't know). Not having jobs, means no money. No money means that bills go unpaid, debt beginning to pile up. And people seem to resort to opening other lines of credit to pay existing debt, only going around in circles paying debt with debt. If it even gets to that point that is. What do I mean exactly? For example: You have NO MONEY, need a loan, resort to your
bank. Nowadays, banks are very skeptical about lending, because no one has money to pay it back. That's why we are in the situation that we are in. Back in the real-estate hey-day, people were obviously buying homes left and right. Not because they "had money", but just because mortgages were "approved". Requirements for a mortgage was very, VERY, VERY MINIMAL. Almost anybody and everybody got approved, regardless of credit score, employment, and income. EVERYONE GOT APPROVED. Why? When a loan specialist lands a deal, what does he earn? Something we are all familiar with: COMMISSION. Just sayin...

Not only does California not have money, (along with the rest of the nation), tuition price is going up. Why exactly? Because our "Governor" decided that we had other things to spend our budget on? Like this $6.3 Billion dollar Bay Bridge project? $6.3 billion for ONE BRIDGE, while $594 million is taken from California higher education systems? Just sayin...

Back to the increase of tuition price. Every semester up until this point, I have been allowed to register for 19 units. Now that I'm paying MORE, I get to register for LESS, 16 units. On top of that, teachers are let go, leading to classes being cut, leading to more jammed classes, leading to more stress for an already stressful college life and career. Just sayin...

We emphasize so much on higher education, and constantly remind our children to stay in school. How is that possible when some don't have access to the resources necessary? WHAT THE FUCK IS AMERICA SPENDING OUR FUCKING MONEY ON? We all work hard for our money. It's even taken from us before we even get to count it. EXAMPLE: PAY CHECKS! Is this not enough? They're taking the average American's hard earned money and blowing it on WHAT? TELL ME???? WTF ARE THEY SPENDING THE MONEY ON????

Canada has free health-care for all of its citizens. So does Cuba, a third-world country. America ranks 40-something on the health care list. Most powerful and richest nation huh? That's why we can't even take care of our own.

To sum up this blog entry, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON IN AMERICA?!?!?!
