As the Economy Churns

As predicted there has been a good share of political posturing. If the resolution of this potential calamity so important, shouldn't the people who say they are putting country before self restrain from putting a fly in the ointment after the 'historical bipartisan' meeting was held? Not stating there were issues that needed to be addressed after the meeting was over and he said there was nothing else he wanted to discuss? Is this the kind of person we need as our President?

I am still predicting a last hour saving of our economy. Well, THEY will say it has been saved, but at whose and what cost? Even 250 billion dollars will cause our taxes to go up. Big business will shift the diverse effects to the the front lines of the companies, meaning jobs will be lost and less will be opening.

There is talk of steps to take help homeowners fight off foreclosure, but that does not do anything for those of us who have already lost our homes.This does not address the situation, but one of the symptoms of the situation and is only a crumb thrown to us "little people" to appease us by making us think they are doing something for us.

There is talk of another "Stimulous Program" to help jump start the economy. This is just an extension of the big business bailout. The government will be taking that stimulous check back in the form of higher taxes to pay for the bailout, not just next year, but for the rest of our lives and our children and grandchildren and so on an so on..... They will also be passing the cost on to us in the form of higher prices for everything.

Everyone will try to take credit for saving the world, which will take our attention away from the fact that it was them who put us in this situation in the first place. They will thank us for being such good sports and praise us for our strength, courage and wisdom, while they reach into our pockets and take food off our tables and make our dreams that much harder to achieve. The scary part of it is, most of them actually believe what they say! They think we are standing on our front porch with our hands on our hearts, saluting them and thanking them for doing such a great job.
