So Where is This Better Economy, Anyway?

Every time I have to pick up a liberal leaning media outlet, I am told by all and sundry that things are on the rise. I wish they gave an address with that improved economy. I wouldn't mind moving there. Because where I am, it's not like that at all. Every day I speak with a small business owner who is holding on by the skin of their teeth. And slipping. I do not see any signs of optimism, in fact, some of the places that I leave seem one step from burying their money in the back yard to protect it. But if I have any doubts, I only have to turn on a news outlet, and BAM! sunshine and roses. All of our former enemies love us now, the world's opinion of us is on the rise, sunshine will follow us all the days of our lives, alpha and omega, amen. Until of course, I speak to a real person. I talk to upwards of thirty or fourty people every day. Most of them have small businesses- you know- the back bone of our economy. They do not have optimism. They don't even have much enthusiasm. What they do have is a lot of worry, and even more concern over all the changes that we are hearing about. Especially in our health care. I don't think we should insure illegal guests of this country. There, I said it. I think we should tell them we are, then when they come in to sign up, we should grab them and send them back to their own country. I know it sounds mean, but they do things like that all the time when they are trying to catch criminals. And someone who is here illegally, who is stealing my resources and taking jobs and other services from someone who is here legally, that person is a criminal. And if they have "anchor babies"? Let the child stay here. You go home until you can come back legally. Also, why can't we charge the country that the person is from for having to return their citizen? I know we send billions in aid to most of the countries that send us their " undocumented workers". Why can't we charge them, say- 25 thousand a pop for the cost of rounding up their citizens and sending them home? When a country gets $14. 73 cents in foreign aid from us, because that is all that is left from sending their citizens back to them, maybe it would become their problem and they would care about it. Think about it, you'll thank me later.
