Monday Rant!

Why would we consider bailing out the U.S auto industry? I have watched industry after industry pack up and leave for Mexico and China. Now the sacred cow of us manufacturing has fallen on hard times. The U.S Auto industry. Now there is a big surprise! Who could afford to pay the health care costs and retirement wages that the auto manufactures do? And then still remain competitive? Not to even mention the inflated wages they pay their employees. I have a relative that works for an automotive manufacture. His plant was shut down for 11 months to retool. For the 11 months he received 90% of his salary! 90% of his salary for not working! An entire plant! What did that cost?

First the bank bailouts, now the automotive industry, next the airlines, and so on and so on. The government takes partial ownership in the bailouts. Gee, what does this sound like? Gee, who else has government owned industry? And then of course we have this new redistribution of wealth program starting up. Kinda sounds familiar!

And now there is this talk of another stimulus package. The last one worked so well! Here is how it works in case you missed it. Our government borrows more money from China. Then our government gives the money to us, at least some of the money. The rest they spend on pork programs for their old cronies that get them elected. Then we run out to Walmart and purchase Chinese goods with the money that our government gave us that they borrowed from China. Then the Chinese take the money they make from us purchasing their goods and buy more and more property in our country. Now, whose country is stimulated? Then at some point down the road we expect our children to pay off this money. Do you think the Chinese government really thinks we will be able to some day pay off this debt? Maybe, just maybe could they have another motive? Gee, Golly, Gee I don't think so, do you?

Wake Up People! Wake Up!
The future of our country is not looking good.
Change is coming, are ya ready for it?
Is it the change everyone thinks it is?

  1. Lets see how all of these celebrity folks and musicians are doing this time next year. Will they be so bright eyed and bushy tailed to go for more change or will we see more of them living in their "second home" some where else in the world?

  2. I read that it would actually be cheaper to give everyone in America (legal citizens) 1 million dollars each than it is to bail out all these companies. Just think of the economic growth if everyone had a million dollars to spend, pay off bills, and invest!!!
