An Iraq Veteran has a personal message for Barack Obama
Friday, October 31st, 2008
I am mad as hell; the media, the candidates and the financial experts are leading you down the road to total destruction and ruin of the not so United States of America.
1. The media is trying to convince you that Obama is the second coming. (He isn’t)
I am not a political expert but I can tell you that Obama is a slick politician who wants to become president no matter what lies he has to tell and is a lot like Bill (I did not have sex with that woman) “takes your ideas and makes them his ideas”.
2. Both candidates are trying to convince you that they have all the answers. (They don’t)
If either candidate had the answer to the current problems with the economy - they would have made sure their solution would be included in the Bailout plan so they could have taken credit for providing the solution.
3. Financial experts are telling you that the Economy has gone to hell and we all will go belly up. (Not True)
The economy will recover! It will not be overnight, but it will recover. It always has and always will.
When I got my Brokers License the market was at an all time high of 800, when it dropped below that figure people were wringing their hands and foreseeing doom. It didn’t happen and rose above 10,000. A word to the wise - if you need money today, you should have available funds in a bank account that can be used today. The stock market is for people who are liquid and can afford to lose money or have enough capital to wait it out. It always recovers.
When Bill Clinton was running for President, James Carville always reminded him “It’s the economy stupid” but that was before 9/11.
Bottom line is before you vote in the current election remember these two facts:
1. The Economy will recover!
2. Terrorist will never give up their goal of destroying America!
Don’t listen to the media - check the records of both candidates and then vote for your choice, based on facts, not the media.
The American people did not create this problem.
The greedy high paid losers at Freddy, Fanny and the short selling, marginal, leverage deals approved with a total disregard to prudence and fiduciary soundness are now crying for a bailout.
If you as a small business owner screwed up like that, do you expect the government to come to your rescue? Don’t hold your breath!
We have according to the US Census Bureau about 350,000,000 people living in our great country.
Why do we need to pay $700-billion to companies who have already proven their bad decisions can wreck the financial system?
My suggestion is cheaper:
Let the government credit each citizen with $1,000,000 and then take the income tax which would be due and use the money to pay all home, car and credit card loans and send the remainder to each citizen.
Each company that has a sound financial plan should be able to stay in business and meet their financial needs.
Citizens with money left over will be able to create new businesses and hire people that have none.
Let the American people decide who should be bailed out - you can bet there will be no companies with CEO’s getting $90,000,000 paychecks.
Write, call and badger your representatives to wake up and smell the roses!
