Musings of a Dumb Ass
Maybe I really am getting out of touch with the world I live in. The election came and went and I missed my predictions on several fronts. Of course that won't stop me from thinking about where we are and where we're going, which is daunting.
President -to-be- Obama said a week ago the thing that will prevent us from EVER recovering economically, he said simply that he wouldn't hesitate to print enough money to straighten this economy out, no matter how much it takes.
It would appear that the new President along with about 108 percent of our citizens have no intention of applying any sense or logic to our predicament, possibly because all of the cures will require an honest assessment of how we got in trouble, and also because any meaningful cure will require that we ALL go back to work as opposed to making the doctors and lawyers richer by proving we are disabled and entitled to spend our life in leisure with guaranteed income. It will also require that we get some parity in wages at the workplace. In my neck of the woods the average factory and government employee wage is $30 to 35,000 a year, or about fifteen dollars an hour which adds up to five or six hundred bucks a week.
Congress had no trouble anteing up the money to take care of the Wall Street and Banking crowd, and no problem to take my money to keep the same irresponsible clods in homes they weren't qualified to buy, and to cover the rears of the assholes who made it possible for them to do so. My money will make it possible for them to continue on in a world that's out of balance..... for awhile. This ain't over yet.
It would appear Congress will hand out my money to the car manufacturers who will continue on doing what they done to get in trouble, including the lopside payscale for auto production workers ($72.00 plus an hour when retirement and benefits are factored in) taking the money from my neighbors who make the $15. an hour. This is totally mad besides stupid.
Right now we're dumb enough to be overjoyed at gas being down to $1.59 a gallon. What?????????? What the hell happened to the memory of dollar gas? Or for that matter 50 cent gas......... or you could look at history and find about about 15 cent gas. And you could break the bonds of unforgivable ignorance if you wanted to understand how we got in so much trouble....... but then again, that takes too much effort. Look for $5.00 gasoline by Christmas 2009 Dumb asses.... we deserve it....... stupid is as stupid does.
