CHAOS AVERTED!!??!!

Well it seems the idiots in Washington DC can actually work together afterall. of course I am being obtuse here. let's face it the only reason why these fools have even come to an agreement is becuase the American people put the pressure on them. Is it bad enough that so many millions of people are out of work right now and then they have to listen to these children (Congress) whine about their principles. By the way I am talking abou the Tea Party fanatics. Listen I understand the whole idea of sticking to your principles but in the wake of a sluggish global economy don't you think that at some point you will have to GOVERN!!!
I am glad that the leadership has come to an agreement but we still have to get all of them (Congress) and the rank and file to vote. Let's just hope they don't screw it up!!!!!

Debt Ceiling Woes

I did not want to believe it but it has happened the United States Federal Government has sunk to a new low. Here it is Wednesday and we still don't have an agreement on the reduction of the deficit and the raising of the debt ceiling. It is really funny I had a colleague catch me this morning and he wanted to blame President Obama, (this is not all on the President) for us not having a deal on this artificial crisis. That is right I said artificial crisis. After all President Bush was able to raise the debt ceiling 7 times without incident so why are we here now when something that is a matter of routine usually now has the whole country and the world poised on another financial collapse. Most economists agree that the United States of America is still going to lose its prized AAA rating because of the political posturing going on in Congress and the White House.
I do believe that it is true what they say about our political leaders they are completely clueless about what the American people really want. Both Democrats and Republicans and I really mean Republicans are soooo clueless. These leaders, (that is if you want to call them leaders) would rather see the country collapse than to give up a position or their Congressional seat. I am so disgusted with Washington right now that I believe they should all be removed from office.
I watched a documentary yesterday with my students and the person being interviewed in the film plainly said that it does not matter which political party you are from if the whole country collapses from financial and economic ruin. So why pray tell are we having this discussion about the debt ceiling, smaller government and reduced spending? These are things that all Americans can agree on reduce the debt, revise the tax code to raise some revenue and keep it moving by raising the debt ceiling. How difficult is this to do? Oh I forgot we have a whole bunch of selfish jerks in Washington that would rather further their own personal agenda then do what is right for the country!!
Here is my solution, All Americans whether you vote or not call your local Congressman, Senator, and the President and demand they increase the debt ceiling so we can focus on something more important like adding jobs and commerce to our ailing economy. I have had enough!!!!!!!!!

The jobs report past Friday was dismal to say the least and now everyone wants to jump down the throat of the President of the United States. I hat to be a bearer of bad news everyone and perhaps this is what needs to be said to the American eople to help them put things in perspective. One, need I remind all of you that it was the American consumer along with Wall Street tat got us into this mess in the first place. How many of you bought homes that you could not afford? How many of you took out secnd and third mortgages on thse homes to go out on frivilous spending sprees? How many of you paid off your 6,7, and 8 credit cards with a second and third credit card only to run them up again? Before you start throwing stones at the easiest target out there (The President) you need to look in the mirror first!!! My second point is this it is the President that is going to hire you business and industry is responsible for that and besides in a economic climate such as this I would not hire anyone either!! It is going to take every soul in this country to get us out of this mess. Consumers will have to reduce their debt loads, invest more and start your own business. The key to growth is entrepreneurship, not only our country's growth but your personal growth. The onus is not on the President to get you the stability that you need that responsibility resides with you and you alone. I have 7 streams of income coming into my household, that is right 7 and I am going to covet those streams with my life because the economy dictates that I do that it is about time the American people understand that.
I just wished our politicians had the courage to tell you the truth as I had right now.
