I had to laugh when I heard the latest presidential fund-raising scheme. It seems there is a site where one can go and donate money to the current president's re-election fund in place of giving wedding gifts! That is really over the top and egotistical to think that newly-weds (especially in this economy) would be thrilled to get a note saying a monetary donation was made in their name to an election campaign instead of gifting them with something they could use to start their new lives. Perhaps, there are a few that might think it is a great idea but pieces of paper don't help a young couple get a start on housekeeping.
People, however, might say that donating to the re-election of the current president is an ongoing gift to couples starting out as it will continue all the policies and laws he has enacted and wants to enact given another four years in office.
Let's see . . . we have unemployment and no jobs for college graduates who also have student loans to pay off now. We have several executive orders overriding Congress and one of them legalizes almost a million more people to work in this country without documentation while we current have millions of citizens in desperate need of a job. Our medical care hangs in balance with a pretty liberal Supreme Court at the helm. Our borders are not being protected and our border guards are either murdered or jailed just by doing their job. Our religious liberties are being threatened. The attorney general is pretty particular about who he will or will not stand up for and it doesn't look like conservative well being is on his list.
Yeah, given all the last almost-four years have given us, I'd rather have a set of towels for a wedding gift then a voucher saying that someone gave money to any political party in my name.
