The Governement may shut down!
Well whoope poo! We elected these idiots to run our government and they can't even get that right. There is no reason what so ever to shut the govenment down. There is also no reason we don't have a budget agreement to keep the government running either.
It took years to get us into the shape we are in, it's not all President Obama's fault. President Bush is the main bad guy in my opinion. Did you know as President Clinton left the White House, we had a balanced budget!
Will wonders never cease, a Democrat in the White House and a balanced budget!!!!
I'm not saying Democrats are all right, but neither are the Republicians. It is a matter of comperise, balance, and doing the right thing for the country. We didn't get into this mess over night, we are not going to get out of it overnight. And acting like a glory hound, hey Mr Speaker, are you listening...will not get the job done. Closing down the government for the ideals of a few will do more damage to the rest of us, than good for those few. Get over yourselves...this is not about your 15 min. of fame, it's about the citizens, all the citizens, of this country. Not just the rich, not just the poor. All of us. Too bad those in the House have fogotten us.

It's all about balance....
Life is about balance. Balancing work and home, God and state, work and play, the list can go on forever...
Too bad our Representatives and Congressmen and women don't get it. Their thought processes seem to be so geared for the short term, they can't or won't see the big picture.
In order to get the budget in hand they are undermining our future. Cut's that we, as a nation can't afford. The best example is to education. How can we expect the majority of our children to amount to anything without an adequate education. As it is now, only those with a lot of money can afford to buy their kids a good education. The rest of us have to do the best with what is offered by the city/state we live in, and that is being cut into as your read.
It's shameful the way we expect those who can barely keep a roof over their head and food on the table to keep accepting that they have to pay out more in taxes per income earned than those who can afford spend $37,000 on a dog house. Yes I did read that in some mag a few years back. Anyone else thinking flat rate income tax! It would ease the budget crunch to do away with all those loopholes and writeoff's.
And if you think that this will dry up the money given to charities, don't believe it. With the exception of a few who really give, most donations come from those people who can't afford it, but give anyway.
Did you know that Henry Ford, once he made it big with his car company, lived on 10% of his income and gave the rest away. I think it was to his church, but I'm not sure. I wonder if anyone else in his family since then , has done the same?

What is wrong with the Government today...loaded question huh?
I know we are in financial trouble. You know we are in financial trouble. Have been for years. Why is it that NOW governments across the U.S. are looking for ways to cut expenses. As far as I'm concerned, governments are the custodians and guardians of...well, us. They take our money through taxes for services like firemen, police, trash pick up and what have you.
Then when a financial crises arises what do they do, they cut those services to those who have paid in more and can least afford the cuts.
Education: our future, instead of cutting funds they should be adding to them.
Elderly: what do you expect these people to do, die and free you of any responsibility.
Public Safety: the less police and firemen around, the more crime.
The cuts the Federal and some State governments are proposing just highlights the differences between the haves and have-nots.
Those that have can live where they want. Those that have-nots, live where they can.
Those that have can afford good food for themselves and their families. Those that have-nots feed their families what they can afford, and it's rarely good.
Those that have can afford to send their kids to good schools. Those that have-nots are lucky to send their kids to school with the basic necessities.
I heard in high school that Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, used to live on 10 percent of his income. He gave the rest of it away. He was no Secret Millionaire, he was just a good man. To bad all those haves of today are no where near Ford's generous nature.

I'm Back!
I know it's been awhile since I posted anything. Like the old saying goes...Distance makes the heart grow fonder!!! Ya all missed me, didn't ya! I knew it!
This is my two cents worth on the NFL lockout...B.S. on all the parties involved. Now don't get me wrong I love professional football. I live for Sunday's and Monday nights in the fall. But enough is enough! It's a damn game! The owners and the players all get more money then they are worth, and yet every so often they whine about....WTF ever...You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Even the players that don't get to play so much make more than I do and I work 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, not including vacation and holidays. They "work" about 6 months a year, once a week. I know they work out the scrimmage the rest of the time, but really guys. Get real.
There are so many people who are still out of work, who would love to be able to provide food and clothes for their families. While players, as long as they plan and don't screw up too badly, can live where they want, eat what they want, and wear designer clothes. So can their families. *SIGH* I don't know what is wrong this time around, but it can't be that bad. Get over yourselves peoples...IT'S JUST A GAME!!!

In Respectful Memory....Elizabeth Edwards...
I didn't know her personally, but it seemed like it with all the exposure she got from her husband's campainging and other stuff. After all the woman went through, she still had a smile on her face and peace and love in her heart. Any woman would be a better person if she followed Elizabeth's example in life. Rest in peace Elizabeth, you will be missed.
