39 and Holding

It is now, in my opinion, time for me to bring order out of chaos, financially speaking.

Lets take a look at the basic problems, the housing financial market has gone bust, the stock market is crashing, and fuel costs are looking at a sure fire increase. If these are not enough we need to address the cost of food, and last but far from least the outsoursing of our labor market is in the hands of greedy stockholders, heck bent on bringing our country’s economy to a shuddering halt.

The whole thing hinges on a word in the last sentence, “GREED”.

There is another, that is one of the most overlooked and it has to do with our politicians apparent lack of a fundamental understanding of Economics 101.

I have written in days and years past, using the analogy of the Texas ranchers housewife who takes what her husband brings in, feeds and clothes the family, pays the mortgage, tithes to their church and still has a few dollars left to spend on birthdays, Christmas and school supplies, and would you believe actually is able to salt away a few bucks for a rainy day. Wow!

I have included in this writing that if a gal with a minimal education can bring about these miracles, why in the flying cat hair can’t our Washington politicians do the same with our tax dollars?

I agree with both parties candidates that “CHANGE” is in order, and if they can’t figure out how to make our national budget work with all the Phd’s available, then for goodness sake lets hire some of the simple commoners that meet these daily needs to set some spending rules that make sense. They will work a darn site cheaper than these Washington wannabes.

God bless these United States and please give us some sensible leadership.
