What the heck are we doing????????????? Repeating the mistakes of the 1920s seems what we’re doing. The banks have cool secrecy laws that help them hide where money is shifted and stored. The laws were created by heavily lobbied legislators to stop any potential panic that might occur if Americans learned …the rest of the story.

So we Americans are kept in the dark, hand the banking industry our cash and trust they will do good with it. Hopefully they are. In the 1920s they weren’t so good. Again the Teasury worked with the banks to bankings interest. The Justice Department also leaned in bankings favor as bankings top dogs, certain investors and others on lower rungs made off with lots and lots of other peoples cash. It was an internal looting. Few were prosecuted.

Hopefully that is not happening now. Though ditching that much cash into a murky industry as banking sure must be tempting. The sad part is that we’ll probably never know.

I am extemely worried about those that seem to think that Obama will make their economic life back to its free spending days as soon as he enters office. Obama will not do this. McCain could not do this. None of the former Presidential candidates could do this.

This is going to take time. Time to settle the US debt, the enormous amount of business debt and the individual American debt. I’ve been talking and drawing about this for years. Settle the debt and we can play a bit more again. This will take years. No matter what is done, it will take years.

If Obama takes the FDR route, with WPA and CCC projects, he could do what FDR did and prolong the bad economic times for a decade or more. Please remember it took World War II to get us out of the mess FDR created. Based on things Obama said during the campaign, increasing military actions and war seem to be a factors in his plans to make the economy better.

The words Joe Biden said about the new administration being threatened missed the critical words he said at the end of that statement. Words the media continuously snipped off when playing it. Those words are that the Obama administration may make decisions that are not popular with Americans and they’ll need backing for Obama no matter what they do. Those words need to be heeded. Obama backers I’ve spoken to have unrealistic views of what he might do. They truly think he’s God like. I wish Obama would make a speech to help ease these folks back to earth. It would truly help the country and better prepare them for far rougher times ahead.

A good deal of the American people, especially the young ones, think that answers are a push button away. Real life is not a push button answer. Americans are about to be reminded of that. I just hope they’ll keep their heads with Obama, the American government and their community when that happens.

As I feel. It may crush me, but it’s for the betterment of our country. Everytime we’ve played with socialism, it grows only larger and wipes us out in other ways. It bothers me to see such foolishness going on. Such as an arrogant untrained Obama and the fools who, with pure greed, hurt us as Americans.

This infuriates me! Obama knows his strengths and doesn’t want to leave his beloved bully pulpit to actual be a leader, something he hasn’t bothered to prove to this point. Whether he likes it or not, he is a Senator. He represents a part of Illinois. Out country is making one of it’s greatest decisions in it’s history. If I find out my representatives in Washington aren’t there looking after my interests, I want them out of office. I knew McCain would want to get into the midst of this and am grateful he did.

I’m against a bailout. But I better see my representatives doing something up there in Washington whether it be for or against a bailout!

A brilliant gag by my buddy, Ken Culotta. I wanted more color in this, but the situation is so dour and New York is such a dark, grey, colorless mess unable to move it’s thought pattern from the 1950s, how else can the nightmare be portrayed.

The actions President Bush, Brenanke, Paulson and company are taking are the worse I would expect by Obama. I have been trying to point out that it’s Obama that’s a continuation of the Bush Administration, noy McCain. These insane anti-American free market moves are concrete proof of that.

I can’t deny Big Brother Business’ strangled hold on the White House. I’ve kept hoping the President would stop socializing our country, but he’s endorsing the worse that can be done. This stuff has had me very unhappy and probably has contributed to generally not feeling well the past week. I expect better of a President, especially one that claims to be a Republican.

My frustration is hard to say involving the sickening way the U.S. government is piercing the free market. Seeing the stock market drop at least is an indicator some are coming to the reality I live. Hopefully it goes under 1,000 and our savings growth is astronomical.

Businesses should fail that work to fail. Herald the Free Market!

If the looks different it’s because my computer seems to be failing and I can’t get Photoshop working. So between my second computer and my wife’s and a few different programs, I got this completed.

This socialist slide is wrong. Maybe I should get foreclosed on and take
advantage of easy refinancing. You just know savvy folks will be doing
this….AND WE PAY FOR IT!!! Worse, this is for the stock guys and investors who get to profit from this, too….all while we work hard to pay our bills. Grrrrr….
