Spring may be coming, but at a snail's pace. Walked the Riverwalk today for about 2 miles with the temperature in the early sixties and it was delightful. Saw this tree snail. Got to thinking, and that is not always a good sign..........................so!
Those currently in power think it is unfair to people who choose not to follow the road to self sufficiency. They prefer government support for those who would rather follow the yellow brick road to find the phony behind the screen.
AN OPEN LETTER OF APOLOGY TO MY GRAND KIDS
Kids, I wish to apologize for the actions of my generation for the debt we have left you to pay.
Our government has just spent almost a trillion dollars that will only stimulate the economy in time for the next election. Our national waste is congress, which spent $180 Billion as a supposed stimulus in the spring of 2008 .... IT FAILED. Our professional politicians in the congress spend $345 billion to bail out the housing problem in the summer of 2008 ....IT FAILED. This congress passed a $700 billion Wall street bailout in the fall of 2008 ....IT FAILED. Let's see that makes a total of over 2.25 trillion dollars all to be paid by your generation. Now they want you to pay the mortgage's of nine million people who can't or won't pay them on their own. Of course the other 91 million mortgages seem to get paid by hard working people. So we need to pay for the losers. Thank you Barny Frank, another loser!
The president spoke to the public yesterday and used the term "Crisis" over 25 times in one speech. This government needs and thrives of public pessimism for the realization of their own objectives. So much for hope!
There are currently over five million people out of work because the media has been screaming recession for eight years and has finally gotten their wish. Often recessions feed upon themselves because of a negative media. Even though the economics may tell another story. The media needs public pessimism so that their chosen politicians end up looking good. Is this a great country or what?
Oil prices per barrel are going to historic lows, but gas prices are going up. And this is the world we leave you. But, because Mexico is on the verge of imploding you may not have to worry about it. If Mexico goes down , we will be inundated with people trying to escape, not to mention the drug dealers and terrorists. The result of another FAILED government policy favoring open borders. I love you guys very much and am very embarrassed by those of us who sit here and let all this stuff to happen.
Your grandfather is a Capitalist! Because your schools probably have not taught you the meaning of that term, I will. It means that I believe in the market place without government intrusion. As demand for a product goes up, so does it's price. And vice verse. If a product is of no value to the public, it will not sell, a profit is not made, and the company goes out of business. Yep, that's right............produce or die. Yes, profit is not a bad word. It is a six letter word and not four. Sorry, Prince Harry Reid, Queen Pelosi, and Mr. President. I still respect the office, unlike the media who beats up on all republican presidents. Profit and loss is what drives the economy of this country, not government.
Being a Capitalist means you have to be creative in making a product people actually want to buy. You have to be creative in finding a way to sell your product. And finally you need to find a way to get your product to your customer. And you have to do all this so that you have enough money left over to support yourself, your family, and whatever charity to which you choose to contribute. If you product is popular enough, you will have to hire other people to help you. And that kids is the real engine that has driven this country for over 200 years. Small business is the mother's milk of this economy. Na, Na,Nana, Na........ Ms Pelosi!
The only problem Kids, is that our generation is allowing a government to virtually destroy the capitalist principle. This is nothing more than a massive attempt to restructure American Society. I am truly sorry you did not have a real chance to taste what this country was really all about.
