Today as I listened to the news, it was one more day of gloom and doom. Like our fanny, everyone has an opinion on the spiraling economic recession. We hear, bail out, don’t bail out, help some, don’t help others, keep giving injections to the lending institutions, don’t help the Big 3, help the Big 3, but none of these experts answer the bottom line questions.
To top it all off, Mr. Obama is flaunting his economic stimulus plan, which is one more reason he should not be leading our country. If anyone wants to research Mr. Obama’s misuse of our money, just check out his Senate record, the many government grants and piggy requests that have his name written all over them via his radical friends.
One other example of poor leadership is his choice of the lady chosen for Homeland Security – hey, I live in Arizona and can personally state that although she’s a nice lady, she has about as much business in this position as “Miss Piggy.” Americans need someone who is qualified to protect our backside – she’ll be in charge of border patrol, Federal Emergency management, Secret Service and doesn’t have a track record worth two cents when it comes to our security.
That’s what I keep trying to talk with Americans about – leadership qualifications aren’t based on who’s the nicest, the most eloquent speaker or color of skin.
· Why are we bailing anyone out – many Americans have already lost their savings, jobs and homes and no one is helping them?
· Why are we helping some lending institutions and not others?
· Will the taxpayers get the bail out money back and if so at what interest rate and where will that money go when it’s repaid – I bet we’ll never see it!
· Why do we give institutions like AIG and Citibank one injection of money after another – what are they doing with our money?
· Does anyone really know how to jumpstart our economy or is the bail out money just a band aid and not a permanent solution?
· When will the government stop this exploratory surgery that’s inevitably going to devaluate our money?
· Why didn’t the government pull in a team of the top economists to assist Americans during this economic recession?
· Who is tracking our money that these institutions have received – how are they using our money?
· When will the government stop with their injections and start correcting our immediate problems? Such as making those responsible for our economic mess responsible. We need to set up a separate holding facility for those who have blatantly destroyed the American Dream.
Needless to say our list of questions would fill a book and no one seems to have an answer! Question for all Americans – can we fire these people in the White House and replace them with some good old American Boys and Girls who believe in their country, families and honest government?
What’s wrong with repealing the earmarks that were hidden in the first bail out bill?
These earmarks only accentuate the reason Americans have lost their trust in their government.
Reluctantly we agreed to go forward with the bail out package, but no one told us it would be stuffed full of earmarks. Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid wonder why we don’t trust them or their gang. This is blatant misuse of tax payer’s dollars – surely someone will do more than smack a few hands.
When will it all end? Today Citibank receives another 20 billion dollar transfusion. What makes us think that they won’t be back holding their teacup out for more?
What gives the Washington Elite the right to spend our money without supervision – both Republicans and Democrats have displayed their inability to make wise decisions and act in a responsible adult manner.
I don’t know the answers to our economic problem, but neither does our government. When in doubt it is best to “Stop” “Look” and “Listen” – I think you’ll all agree that flying by the seat of our pants isn’t working.
We need unbiased economists and legal counsel to create a sound recovery plan that gives us in detail the necessary steps that should be implemented to rebuild our weak economy. Nope, I don’t trust Uncle Sam as far as I can throw him and you can take that to the bank! “May God Bless America.” Stop in an visit @ http://www.yourannie.com
