Right On, Cornell.

I remember the last time a Dem Pres (Carter) and a Dem Congress "Controlled".... our country. The late 70's.

I was living in Colorado and the economy came to a standstill. Interest Rates went to 24% to buy a Car.

Some Americans were taken Hostage. Carter's "attempt" at freeing them was by sending a Rag-Tag group of helicopters (that broke down).

ONLY when Reagan (a CONSERVATIVE Republican) was sworn in did the "Terrorists" RELEASE the American Hostages. WHY? Because they KNEW that Reagan would NOT rely on "Rhetoric" to "Talk" to them. They BELIEVED Reagan would ACT....with REAL Military Force.

Thus....my area, in the Pacific Nortwest, due to Environmental Whackos, aka Left-Wing Libs... has successfully removed "Timber workers" (AND their families) from our magnificent forests (they want our Forests to be "Museums") ....and protected "Owls and their Families".

5,000 people out of work in my Country (Douglas) (Jan 2009)and the new Pres says that GUMMIT is the "Answer" to get these folks "back-to-work" with GUMMIT projects. Ya! Paid for by "Printing Presses Churning out Greenbacks" until those Greenbacks will be worth Zilch.

So....hold onto yer hats folks...Da Libs are coming....only this time they have "Lemmings" (aka "Takers") in the majority...with their hands out, waiting fer da new Gummit to GIVE them "sustenance".

NEVER worked before, in human history, and won't work this time.

Only ONE answer;
BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT....relying on YOURSELF as your source of income.

Easier said than done. I just had a conversation with a neighbor. He lost his job 2 mos ago (Boat Co closed down) When I asked WHAT he was going to do after his UNemployment ran out....he didn't have a clue.

So...ya better get some kind of "Side" income going NOW cause....after da GUMMIT "Bails Out" the first batch of UNemployeds....some Americans may get ticked-off at da Gummit constant printing GreenBacks to "Bail Out" everybody and ACT!

One thing is for sure;
The next year or 2 WILL be VERY INTERESTING!

So....1) Get Outa Debt and 2) Find a way to earn Income OTHER than a "JOB"
