A big can of mixed nuts
by Stanley Davis A big can of mixed nuts is what I think about when Washington comes to mind. Our government is doing a poor job and it is getting worse. Of course they still want to play the blame game. It is always someone else's fault. I just wonder when they are going to take responsibility. Now they claim we are doing fine, but people including myself are still without work. Unfortunately when you are self-employed like me you do not draw unemployment compensation. I guess that is one of the perks for being your own boss. The economy is struggling and I still do not see it moving in a positive direction. Our government wants to bail out all the wrong people including big car plants, and giving money for airport runways and roads all across the country, not to forget the sign companies. Let's fix the infrastructure they say. I am not sure where you live, but our roads in the south are very good and most need little to no repair. They are certainly giving money away for education reform to teach us what we are or are not. Frivolous spending is helping put nails in America's coffin. Hey, what about money for the construction industry or clothing manufactures just to name a couple? They say they are creating more government jobs and are proud of this. Most of what I have read and heard is it is going to be jobs that take more of our tax money and freedom away. I think our government needs a lesson in economics 101 which is the basics of learning what happens when your debt outweighs your income. Our government is very loose when it comes to throwing money around, money I might add we do not have. I can hear some Americans saying right now, they can just print more dollar bills and we will be fine. Understand this; currency has to be backed up by something. This is why our dollar is valued less than it has ever been. We do not have the means to back it anymore. This is one reason I believe if our government does not change now, we will be heading into a socialistic society. When and if this happens they will control everything including your property. The government owes way too much money to foreign countries and they want to be able to control the whole kit and caboodle as a way of getting us out of this mess. China understands this and they are America's largest creditor. They know if they call their loans that America will have to do something to settle. Think of all the czars we now have governing all aspects of our lives. Next they will tell us how to eat and sleep. I am concerned, not for me as much as for my children and grandchildren. They will have to get through this if we don't stand. Since we owe so much money and looking at the way the country is heading, don't think for an instant that your property is safe. China also knows what is going on and so do other countries. This is one reason they are buying up properties all across America. Our way of life has been threaten for years, but now it appears everyone wants to accept it and let the government handle the situation. What ever happened to a government of the people, by the people and for the people? What is needed is a strong working America. Among many other things we also need to limit entitlement programs. We need to really get on the road to recovery. One thing is for sure, they seem to be forgetting about the silent majority that has quietly and patiently waited for some real truth about our country and the state we are in. The real Americans who will stand and say that is enough and we are not going to take it anymore. Listen if you are like me and you want to see real change, go out and vote a new congress in this November.
