Am I better off now than I was four years ago? I can honestly say yes, but with the caveat that I was a college student during the last election and now I am a grown man and stuff. But there is steady work out there. I was able to find two teaching jobs this summer, and I don't even teach math or science. I was able to get a job at Domino's with no problem at all. People are hiring, both college grads and high school students. Jobs are plentiful. Seriously. Those who say they are not are either not looking in the right place or let their pride get in the way. Of course this is just one man's humble opinion, but, in my experience at least, it's true.
That being said, I wanted Romney to win. But what I'm really trying to get across tonight is that it doesn't matter who is in office or in what direction our legislature or Supreme Court leans. At the end of the day, the only person we need to be held accountable to is ourselves. Anybody can stand up and make a change. We can decide to make our own lives better. We don't need the government to tell us so. With the right attitude, we can accomplish anything that we set our minds to. It takes guts, common sense, and a little bit of self-respect and motivation. These are the things we should be teaching the citizenry. Government doesn't solve our problems. We do.
