Inauguration Eve
Current mood: 
ashamed
Most of the people here are young.. And I want to tell you that most of you have no clue.
Do you have dreams of your own families one day? Ones that you will love and cherish? And how about grand children?
Do you realize that taxes in the next generations years have to be so much more than what we pay now? Why? Because of bailouts, because of government waste.
If you gave a friend some money who was in trouble you would set limits on it right? Like use it to straighten out your life not party. And pay me back by.. Right?
The banks all the money — 750 Billion Dollars — that half is already gone cannot or will not account for where it went. This was money to help those losing their houses and the bad debt the banks had. What if your friend said FU after you wanted to make sure the money was used to straighten out his life? That is essentially what the banks have done.
And the OBAMA package. The trillion dollars he wants to spend to help the economy.
I will not go into how and why that will fail. But the thing YOU NEED TO KNOW IS IF YOU ARE YOUNG is that you, your kids and their kids will pay that money back. Not me. I will be dead. It will be passed forward until a point comes when, it absolutely has to be paid back. And if you think these economic times are rough.. Those will be ones I cannot begin to imagine. Maybe a 40 percent tax rate. Imagine.. working almost half of your work hours for taxes that for debt that was accrued early in your life or before your life…
The real problem is credit. Want something charge it. Businesses and banks operate outside their means. Remember the news saying banks won’t even extend credit to each other?
Our country is now a credit rich society. And the bill is going to come due. The frightening thing is this is all new debt being added to a debt that is already out of control.
I pity your future. I worry about Americas future.. The worlds future.. Ecology. Will there even be an America in 100 years. The Soviet Union collapsed within from economic disasters and people who just would not take it anymore.
But Americans for the time being are too busy being busy. Too busy not thinking and feeling and the country, your kids and grand kids are all in that mix.
Time to take credit for the mess. And this was not all Bush’s causing. It started many years before.
Ever wonder how someone could get so many credit cards when they had no money? Ever wonder why? Ever ask why did no one think of the repercussions?
And if the credit card holder goes bye bye and the banks are stuck with the debt, well they either get the government to bail them out… Or they raise their rates…
In the end you still are going to pay.
To truly change America.. New thinking is needed. And you, the youth are going to have to pay for your parents excesses, wastefulness, and meism philosophy. Business runs this government now. Not Obama.
A politicians promises are hollow because now a bill a president can sign must pass through two bodies, the senate and the house. And they are like a dog with fleas. But their fleas are rich and powerful and called lobbyists. And they do not care a bit about you, or me, they care about the business that pays them. Then a healthcare bill can have a bridge not needed but needed for re-election in some bizarre location added to it. A bill that passes often has much fat and non needed items added to them. So Obama means nothing. Business will rule and continue to rule until YOU and those around you begin to think about changing all this.
That is why people can lose their homes in America because of outrageous hospital and medical bills. That does not occur in Britain or Canada..
Think on it a bit.. Be smarter than your parents..
And if you really do care.. a new site is starting up called 1776revisited.com one where simple solutions can revitalize the country. One where the visions of those who died in 1776 will be reraised. what we have today is like the church in many ways.. Business as usual even though the world is changing around them. Americans are suffering.
And we are setting up a bleak future..
