The New Cliche

admin — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:40:24 +0000

We have all heard of the self fulling prophecy, that is, that whatever you believe will happen as you repeat it over and over again in your brain, comes out into your actions and guess what it….it happens. Right now we need to get rid of “Its the economy” within our vernacular. If we continue to blame the current economy on everything but ourselves, plus decide to do nothing, take no more risks and stay steady because “the economy” then we will meet doom itself. No one seems to want to take the first step in making things better for themselves, we’ll just wait and see what happens. This is not the American spirit. Lets just wait and see what the government does. Well, that is just nonsense. When was the last time you made a personal decision waiting for the government to make a new policy. Of course you never did. We are going through a global correction and moving into a new era that I coined, “The Era of Contentment” I have all that I need, I do not need to go to Disneyland, I do not need a new car, I have a good one now and these clothes I have are just fine. I have all the gizmo’s I could possibly need. What I see now is an opportunity to create, start a business, go back to school and meet the needs of the new corrected society. Just blaming the now tired cliche, “Its the Economy” will just not do.

Unemployment

Well it finally has come to the surface. China is too expensive. Hold your hat. Can you believe it. American Eagle and other retailers have found that their production costs are too expensive and so now they must find cheaper labor which can be found in Cambodia and Vietnam, according to the WSJ. Think of Apocalypse Now, the movie and how both those countries played such a huge role in that war and now they are an opportunity to make cheap stuff. I’m sure our veterans are proud. I have always said that when we are done with China, we will find another country to take advantage of. When we are done with SE Asia, I am sure we can find another poor country such as that in Africa to take over. Then read further into the WSJ to find that Chrysler is looking to lay off more and not just because no one is buying cars. They want to make room for more entry level jobs. Boy does it suck if you are over 40 years old. Now job sites are requesting no more than two jobs after college aka, the old need not apply. Friends we are going South here. The young will love their new entry level job, since they do not care about the future and live in the “now” and further, they will have to pay more into the system to take care of the unemployed 40 year old guy they just replaced. How ironic is that.

President’s Farewell

admin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:04:25 +0000

I really thought that the outgoing president did a very fine job of outlining how he took his administration over the last 8 years from beginning to end. Little did he know that within 9 months of his Presidency, that 9/11 would could to pass and alter any strategy or public policies he was looking to move forward. No, all things had to change and tough decisions had to be made. How do you fight an enemy you cannot see, that does not wear an uniform and does not live within the domain of one country. It lurks around every corner, various websites, chat rooms and may even wear a suit and work inside an established company. Its an unsettling issue to say the least. We tried our best and at least our borders remained safe over 8 years but a very high price of the death of so many soldiers. We may never know what victory looks like, because there will be no formal peace treaty signed on the deck of a battleship. No, we will not have that luxury this time. Even when we rest and years go by they may be plotting. Our next president will be tested just like President Bush did. Stay tuned.

Bush Legacy

Now the time has come to begin the tradition of bashing the president via Monday morning quarterback methods just before they leave office for good. Say what you will, but US ground has not been touched by a foreign army or terrorist group since 9/11. What more is there to say. The economy is our problem not his. This is a worldwide correction and families reviewing the way we live and what we can afford and moreover what is important to life. So put that to rest. The president protects us and that is all. Less government the better. Did they really watch out for the SEC scandals, no did they watch out for mortgages no, so really it is up to us to review our lives and make it our responsibility where we put our money.

Government For Sale

admin — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:30:39 +0000

It is just the same ol Chicago system, is typical American Politics, is plain greed and power or indication of really is going on behind the scenes. Just when you thought we had had enough to worry about, here comes the Illinois Governor to make us all proud. What a scandal. How will Obama Hussein handle all of this. The rest of the world which is already questioning capitalism now will get the chance to question our leadership for the free world. Sorry folks, when it comes to the most powerful it really is who has the largest checkbook. So many other States would not have this issue but of course, since this is our President’s Senate seat there is a price. Ok, let us play it out. What is the price you would pay to have this Senate seat? Would you pay millions, vote for Blago’s pet projects, broker his wife’s real estate deals? Chicago has been corrupt for years. Correct me if I am wrong, but didnt the JFK campaign get a little help with some missing ballot boxes some time ago? Sorry to the world.

Obama alert

I just read that Obama raised 32 million dollars in the last three month and at the same time Mccain has had to reduce staff because of financing. I dont know about you, but I believe this year the only question to ask is which Democrat will win. Bush has left such a poor legacy for the republicans that they really do not have much of a chance. This country wants change so bad that only the Democrats had a platform that promotes change. I love some of the small time Republican candidates, but they simply do not have the money for name power to win. Its all sickening anyway if you think about it. The campaign has started so early this time around which means the candidates will blow through their money quickly yet consequently I believe they will only get voter burnout instead.

So when I read about Obama and Mccain, I have to yawn. It just does not matter right now. Politics is all about what is blowing in the wind at a particular time. When I hear the candidates give their policy today, I know 12 months from now we will be on to other things.
