What Happened?

What a risk one takes by simply taking a few weeks off!

The financial house of cards has fallen. All that remains is to put the rotting carcass in a hole far from the sensitive noses of the public, and cover it with the worthless remnants of the politically correct mortgages that had no chance of being repaid. Ever!

Whatever the cost to those burdened with their own mortgages to repay, this unanticipated new cost has the potential to be a real back breaker. Fear not however, our US Congress is hard at work fashioning a remedy sure to please everyone. Well, almost everyone that is. Isn't it funny how merely watching the unfolding drama can make you race for the bottle of Tums? Wait a minute though, for there is a sinister component to all this. We are assured by Democrat spokesmen that there is after all, a way out. Just give them more control over the US economy, and over you as well. The party pinata has been broken, and what lies on the floor are the broken promises, and the dashed hopes of responsible Americans. Americans who played by the accepted rules of personal responsibility. Gone is the veil of political correctness, long used as a lever to extract more, and more concessions from a public convinced of it's own culpability by those who have profited in unholy ways from this mess of their own creation.

Let's call a spade a spade here. A pig rolling merrily in the slop of it's home will raise a stink no matter how much perfume, or lipstick is applied. Democrats bear the responsibility for this collapse, and have since the Carter years in the White House. The names, and photos of Clinton, Raines, Johnson, Gorelick, Frank, and Dodd should be on display in every US Post Office in America. Don't forget Schummer, and Rangel either, but are we running out of post office wall space here? Never before has there been such an open view into the workings, and machinations of greedy politicians whose sworn oaths to the Constitution, and to the American people, mattered so little by the few, to the many.

Billions have been lost in the financial markets, and tens of millions of that total are safely placed in the bank accounts of managers who violated their public trust positions. Of course, these latter millions were taken before the "crash" of the markets, therefore, ineligible to be accounted for by Democrat rules for corruption. To Democrats, corruption is as the oxygen bottle to someone with emphysema; an inhaler to an asthmatic patient. It is a means of sustaining ill gotten wealth, and power. Have you ever noticed how seemingly penniless people go to Washington to represent(?) us, and suddenly they are filing income statements reflecting piles of money far beyond their meager salaries? In a word, it is the individual who corrupts the system, and not the other way around. No accountability, and of course, no investigation of the underlying reasons, and individuals, who are to blame for the mess we now find ourselves in. To demand such accountability, and investigations would be downright unAmerican, or so we are told.

For those of you still enamored of Barack Obama, and the Democrat Party, especially those of you with children and grand children, answer this question : Can you look those children you love directly in the eyes and not sense a feeling of having failed their best interests with your voting record? Go ahead, do it now. I just did, and it makes one want to cry. I'll do my best to resecure the guarantees of nothing more than an opportunity for them to chase. That is the promise of America, and my promise to them.

Now, back to those whose struggles are just beginning...the children, God Bless Them All!
