What will become of America?

Now that the Democratic party seems to have achieved their goal of 60 votes in the Senate, they now have total control of the US Government. What does that mean to us the people. Well that will depend on where you fall on the economical yard stick. If you are looking for a hand out, you are in great shape. If you are in business, you will be paying for those looking for that handout. If you are conservative and religious in your ways of thinking, it is going to be a long 2 years in having to wait for the next election before you can hope for any change. There will be change of course in that 2 year period of time, just not change for the better. Before we know it we will have government controlled health care, several major banks and businesses will be government owned, guns will all be outlawed, and the federal government will be the all powerful ruling power in this country, and not the people, as it was originally established. We seem to be moving closer everyday to becoming like one of the European countries that our ancestors left years ago in search of personal freedoms.

Is Loyalty mising?

What ever happened to loyalty. I was always taught if you commit to do something you do not have a change of heart in the middle and go in the opposite direction. Yet this seems to be a everyday occurrence today. Why it is even OK for our elected officials. Those who were elected to office by people of one party and then change in the middle because "it looked greener on the other side of the fence". I feel bad for the republicans in the state of Pennsylvania who elected Senator Arlen Specter to office. Now he has decided to "turn tails" and run to the other side. Yet just a couple of months ago he said he was a dedicated Republican. Obviously no one can be trusted to tell the truth anymore. Just what was offered to him by the Democratic party? We all know that their goal was to have the 60 votes in the Senate. They could not get it honestly so they steal it at the expense of all Americans. This really sets a good example for all young people in America to follow.

bank bailout

The Federal Government bailout of the banking industry has sure been great news since the trouble began. We have gone all the way from our hard earned tax money paying large bonuses to managers and employees who helped cause the problem to now paying for lobbyists in Washington.All this so that these same managers and employees don't have following the rules set forth concerning the amount of pay they can get as their company continues to receive our tax money. This makes "perfect sense" that they take the government money and then pay another to fight against the same government that gave them the money. Maybe they figure they are helping to stimulate the economy by spending. I would like to know what management class in college teaches that principle. How much longer are we the American people going to stand by and let our hard earned money be spent in this manner?

Unemployment Numbers

Week after week the new unemployment numbers are remaining high. They say we now have a total of 6.1 million people in the US collecting unemployment. They are watching this number closely because history shows that when weekly numbers start to decline it is 6 to 10 weeks before the end of the recession. So far the number has not declined. This weeks number was higher than expected. What has happened to the $787 billion stimus package that was to "save or create" 3.5 million jobs. The numbers are not showing that it is working. When will we start to see progress in the proper direction?

Hard Times

It is becoming harder each day for a small company to collect on their AR. I hear on a daily basis that customers can not pay this week because their customers have not paid them. It is a trickle down effect. Everyone is cutting back in one form or another. Several businesses are only working a 4 day week. Others are staggering their employees to only work 4 days. Even others are taking full weeks off the save. All of these has an effect on the individual worker who then has the same problem in paying their own bills at home. So the cycle can start all over again. I hope that there is an end in sight.

Justice is Served

How much did election year politics play into the Alaskian Sen. Ted Stevens case? With the goal of the Democratic party to have total control over the Federal Government, they needed the longest serving Republican in the Senate to loose his seat. How else to accomplish that but to find a "big" way to sway the voters against the one they have elected for decades. It really makes you wonder just what occured now that the judge over the case has ordered an investigation against the prosecutors involved. Is justice really being served?
