The Economy – Are You Serious

So, I am sure you seen the big bail out of Greece, nearly $1 Trillion in a rescue package. Yah the first day it was approved the stock market shot up, but now look at it, today May 14, 2010, it is down 170 points. And the news flash concerns on Greece, Spain and Portugal tightening up its economy/market. Come on now, are you serious, how much more money, that we do not have, are we going to give out. Your are telling me that there won’t be other countries asking for relief as well. That once they see that money is being given away, countries won’t be asking for a piece of the pie. But how much more pie is there, wait, ok, so really what this means is that we are borrowing from the future money, we don’t have yet, but somehow we will be paying that for the next 30 or 40 years, hey wait maybe out kids…kids will continue to pay.

I’m only saying, how many times are the Countries Governments going to dip their hands into the cookie jar? So you tell me this, when the US gets a Junk Rating, who will bail the US out, do you think that $1 Trillion dollars would do the trick for the US, by the time it happens, hopefully it never happens, but let’s assume it did happen, wouldn’t that be a scary situation.

You know everyone can point the finger and blame the housing market, then they can direct the blame to the Brokers, then everyone can point their fingers to the Lenders. Wait, why stop there, lets point the fingers to the Oil companies, oh come on…I think since there are so many people pointing fingers, hmm…let’s just say 1000 people, each with 10 fingers, hmm that comes out to 10,000 fingers that we can all point to someone else, right. Are you serious, I mean come on…people, step back and take a deep breath and let’s really get to the bottom of this. Stop listening to the Media, we all know that bad news sells, so why listen to the Media’s over inflated concerns, tactics, used to delivery news, so as to make it more dramatic…you know this and I know this.

Now, first of all the Governments need to stop handing out money like it is growing on trees, unless there is something I don’t know and it is, but really stop handing out money. Ok, I am struggling like many Americans and actually people in other countries, no raise in 3 years, hours cut, and prices of everything going up. Ok, don’t come crying to me about being out of a job, and loosing your house, car, boats, etc. Ok…just because I haven’t got there YET, doesn’t mean I won’t be soon. Let’s all just take a deep breath, again, and try to resolve the issues, real issues, and not just give out money like it’s a new fad - wait it is a new fad. I’m not all saying I could run things better, or that my ideas will work for everyone and every situation, because in life nothing is exactly the same and everything has exceptions…to exceptions. But the countries need to put a foot down, wait…no not the government…the PEOPLE need to put their foot down and demand, real solutions…remember this, Lao Tzu - "Give a Man a Fish, Feed Him For a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, Feed Him For a Lifetime".

Lets learn from this, really, lets not look back and start thinking about what we need to do for the future, a better future, the mistakes we did, who we allowed to make ridiculous mistakes, mainly our government…I am only saying. The people need to take back what is rightfully theirs…and start fresh and make things happen. One voice can make a difference, but imagine the MASSES, all our voices as one, yah ok…may sound far fetch, but we can do it.

What am I getting at, We the people need to put our foot down and stop letting these politicians make decisions that we obviously do not agree with and are obviously going to hurt us more and our children. Yah some of you are saying, yah your one to talk, how come you are not doing something, well I am, I started with this post and hope that some where someone will click and start the process. We need to stand together and stop pointing fingers and work towards a REAL solution.

My perspective:
When you point a finger, three point right back to you. so really are you serious. Lets step back and take a deep breath and stop allowing these politicians in making decision we don’t agree on. Let’s make our voice heard and put a foot down. We need real solutions, instead of all this money being giving away. That’s my thoughts, personal feelings and I could go on, but remember I am not saying I am right, or that what I am saying is concrete…only sharing my idea and hope to rile up some folks.

Thanks for reading, till next time…be safe….listen closely…don’t believe everything you read, instead actually read between lines, because if a story sounds to good to be true, it usually has a hidden agenda.
