BAILOUT FAILS-STOCKMARKET FALLS

Now if the senate will vote against the “bailout”, we will have taken the first baby steps of getting our nation back on some sort of fiscal stability.

The obvious next step and one that should have taken years ago will be the idiotic drunken spending bills that have been passed and become law by many generations of tax and spend politicians inside the Beltway.

I am not pointing a finger at any one administration, there has been enough blame to go around regardless of political party affiliation.  I must in all fairness also point a finger at the lackadaisical voter apathy as one of the prime mover in this whole mess.  Vox populi, “we the people”, have not demanded through our voting that our elected representatives be held accountable so now we are going to have to take the licking for this apathy.

I wrote in an earlier blog that we will survive and that I, at age 83, had managed to live through one depression, and I now write that it is my sincere hope that we as a nation will have learned from these experiences.

It is my opinion, that with the common sense that our Lord gave us, we just might manage to take this bitter fiscal pill and get on with our somewhat bent national pride.
