Year in Review 2012!
by Donald Frye on 12/31/12As the final minutes tick down to close out 2012, it bears remembering what is being left behind. On the brink of welcoming in 2013, we say goodbye to one of the most divisive and hate filled Presidential campaigns in memory. President Barack Obama won re-election for a second term in what was a hard fought battle, where corporate money flooded campaigns across the nation.
We are facing a "fiscal cliff" that kicks in at midnight on December 31st, if an agreement is not met between the two leading parties. If no legislation is passed to avoid the cliff, it threatens to put the country back into recession. And mind you, this is something that doesn't have to be. Partisan bickering and a no compromising mindset has led to a 9% approval rating for congress, the worst in America's history.
I am fighting to find something kind to say about 2012, but any highlights in my personal life have been outweighed by personal heartbreak along with the disappointment of seeing such suffering across the country for so many people. At a time when America should be embracing change and unification to help restore progress for the country, are we finding ourselves escaping a return recession and trying to find sensible leadership in Washington. I welcome in 2013 and hope that it will bring peace and happiness back to our nation. And hopefully Prosperity will be it's guiding light!
