No Hope

The stimulus - rather spending bill - is in the Senate waiting to be voted on. It has ballooned to nearly $900 billion. We will pay for digital tv, buy green cars for the government, re-sod parts of DC, buy condoms, electronic medical records for every American, and jobs not for white construction workers.

Less than 15% of the "package" will actually stimulate growth and make jobs. The rest is pork - mostly with an agenda to keep us dependent upon the government. There is no freedom in dependency.

The latest statistics are that 63% of the public is against this bill. Is any one in Washington asking we the people?

Now the President is pushing for a quick signing. Push, hurry, otherwise we are "hopeless". Without hope. We have the man of hope but we will be hopeless.

Why the heavy sales job. The world will end if we do not "buy" now. Do you feel yourself bristle? Does your gut tell you to resisting the panic?

Let us slow down. The same people who can not find the "bailout" package spent in the fall. Where did all the $ go? We are learning we did not buy stock at fair market price when we "invested" in these financial institutes?

No accounting of $ spent and now they want more and more $. Wait. Slow down.

Are we really without hope?

'til later
