This is an elemental truth about finance that seems to elude our government and many of our neighbors.

Today the President suggested that we need to do this very thing. One week after doubling our nation’s debt. I fear it is to late, and we are to learn this lesson the hard way. What will make it worse is that the current administration will raise taxes. Raise taxes and cripple any hope we have to rise above the world wide recession and start anew.

This also is a lesson we already have learned in the last Great Depression.

Inflation will be the next fiscal plague we will face. Brace for the worst friends, but hope for the best.

This is the “hope” and “change” we have been given.

A country that demands the government to bail us out? Or do we put our backs into it and push back? When the going gets tough Americans have always gotten tougher! Don’t give me any hand outs. And don’t hand out our children’s future to every bad investment and bad idea that sticks their hand out.

I am sick and tired of the poor Me’s! Get a set of balls and put your back into it!

How does that sound?

  • If it sounds good then send me an email and I will let you know where to send the check. (credit cards not accepted)
  • If it doesn’t sound good…. welcome to the conservative movement.
