There is a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.  I can only speak for myself but, in my world, not only do I feel held down, it is my head that is under water.  While we are waiting for those thousands and millions of jobs to be created or saved, unemployment creeps up and the question, "Where are the jobs?" goes unanswered. The lights are on but no one is home. Out campaigning, maybe?

 

The only thing I am certain about is the uncertainty everywhere.  What money I have put away for my old age is getting as much interest as it would under my mattress. The stock market seems more optimistic than is justifiably sound. Gold is up, way up, but traditionally investors turn to that commodity when anxiety levels accelerate.  China has become much more of a partner in the US wallet than I feel comfortable about.  Redistribution of wealth, particularly my wealth, via taxes, is not high on my list of favorites but it is with Dear Leader. Fifty percent of our citizens do not pay any income taxes, none, no skin in the game! Are you in that other fifty percent with me?

 

Construction is down to put it mildly, but so is America's manufacturing capacity. What do we do if we need to build battleships, big guns, and planes like we once could? Do we instead import them from China?  There are people out there who have sworn to kill us so we have to look out for unattended packages and be subjected to full body scans. Have you noticed the proliferation of video cameras, too? Big Brother is breathing down our necks when not apologizing on our behalf.

 

If there is to be a recovery that we will see before we need more powerful eyeglasses there has to be investing in our country and infrastructure, we need more work, especially construction work, and fewer entitlements. Remember when you got a mortgage only if you could afford it?  And is there still such a thing as legal immigration?

 

Humorist P. J. O'Rourke said, "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it is free."  Maybe McDonald's and 29 other companies and organizations got free pass waivers but when it comes down to Gamka and the rest of us, don't hold your breath. Can anyone tell me why we will all be filling out 1099 Forms for purchases over $600? Maybe as a foundation for a Value Added Tax? This has something to do with healthcare?

 

But I digress. Naturally, all of this is just between us. Speaking up and speaking out is not popular in some quarters. Just another erosion of our rights, it appears.

 

Don't let all those dead people and drive-by voter registrants speak for us!

 

If we don't get this country turned around on November 2, 2010 it may be too late.

 

Vote!

 

Sincerely,
