Stocks on the slide again!

Today was an eye opening day. Not so much for me, but for many economic experts who had saw a rosy picture. Hopefully some of our leaders had a little eye opening as well. Maybe they will not be so comfortable with what they have done in the past that has brought us to this point. Let there be no doubt that things will get worse, it is inevitable. Nearly every average person in this world knows what the next year or so will be, but it seems that our leaders are clueless,…or, they are doing what governments have always done. That is putting out misinformation. Painting a rosy picture that does not depict the landscape before us.


I have spent the week dealing with problems that have cropped up in my home quite unexpected. Of course they will need to be fixed. However, had I been a little more vigilant and checked on everything regularly, I might not have had the problem. The same goes for our politicians. The signs were there but unlike me they choose to ignore them or to believe that what was in plain site was not really a problem.

I believe it to be for another reason altogether. GREED! For a small business man doing much the same things, he would at worse lose what he had as well as putting a few people out of work. But for people who run a country and for those running a huge corporation the results are those of which we see currently. What is most disturbing is that many of these same people will say that they cannot be blamed for the current crises. Whether or not they could collectively be blamed for our current crises will be for history to determine.

What has been done is mostly to ignore what needs to be done. Our politicians have chosen to throw money on a fire instead of water. There are those in business that are still saying more government money should be tossed in their fire pit. As a non-expert in the economic field I think I have hit the nail on the head with a few of my blogs. I have even seen ads placed on my blog only to be removed a day or two later. Of course I am saying things that no company or politician would want people to know or believe.

I should be telling everybody “I told you so”! Instead I find myself saddened by the fact that we truly have idiots in charge of not only our country but also many major corporations headquartered here in the states. It is no wonder the rest of the world hates us. Those people truly believe that is how we all are, that we do not care about anything but the money in our pockets. To an extent, they are correct. It is the average American who has voted for these people. It is the average American who has ALWAYS said that “Why should I make waves, it will only make my life harder”! Well where are we now. I saw a comment on an economic story that stated “It is those of us with money who make the economy run and we should not have to pay more taxes. Make those on unemployment take any job so they can pay their fair share”!

Seems to me we have paid our fair share. Just read some of my previous blogs and you can see what the average American has paid, is more than his fair share. How can a consumer driven economy survive with no jobs? I have been doing some research on how much money each which political party gets to campaign for their position. Most of this money comes from the very companies that have kept wages low and/or have already laid off much of their American workforce.

I have been delayed in making a few videos, but I will soon be posting at youtube. We need to stand together and speak up for our rights. We need to dump some dead weight in Washington and get legislation passed that protects the workers and consumers of this country. I truly believe that the average American is downright pissed off enough to start making a change. No more tax loopholes for corporations and financial institution. No company etc should be so big as to bring down the economy. Trust me when I say that if they do fail, we may see some short tough times, but that one company provided services, products etc that are still needed and there will be a dozen smaller companies, fully prepared to fill the void without needing to take our tax dollars to fix things.
