Hey! Obama! Where's The Cash?
I've had some friends tell me that we (hunters and other outdoor folk) are in for a bad time because the Democrats are in the drivers seat. I suppose if you are a hunter on the level of the Bushes and Cheneys you might see a change or two. Personally, I expect things to improve. The next time I'm lifting a cold one with Warren Buffet, I'll ask him what we can expect.
It seems the country keeps going through this cycle. The Republicans go in and spend us into a deep hole then the Democrats go in and try to dig us out. All the time Republicans are screaming about the Dems taxing and spending. We haven't spent anything in the middle east over the last 8 years have we?
Me? A Democrat? Both parties have their faults. I'm only addressing the money right now and I've never had enough of it to ride the Republican bandwagon. Neither have any of my friends and acquaintances had enough. I'll never be a "bleeding heart" liberal, but I certainly don't like sitting by while people I know only through the news get all the breaks.
Obama and his buddies have just sent more money than I can comprehend out to the greedies to get the country out of its economic mess. Aren't these the same folks that got us into this mess? We can't put all of the blame on The car czars, oil barons, banker bigwigs, and self centered CEOs. According to congressman Ron Paul of Texas, Iraq has cost us far more than the publicly acknowledged $500 billion. The ongoing stalemate in Korea has passed the trillion dollar mark, and one man in the news recently bilked almost that much from a bunch of people who probably deserved to lose it and a lot who didn't. And the printing presses never skip a beat.
As the public gains awareness of the fact that there is nothing but hot air backing up those greenbacks, confidence in our monetary system will continue its downward spiral. Our leaders of both parties seem to take the stance that we have no choice but to try to spend ourselves out of debt. At some point the rest of the world is going to realize that there is no hope of our ever repaying the staggering debt we owe to every developed nation on earth. Then what happens to the global "dollar"? Will the Luddites dream finally come true?
Maybe we are in for some bad times.
