The Song is Over ...Next

Man, there are so many times in a week that I wish I worked at home ...lol.
So, I've got this idea. Kinda 'if'y, might not work, dunno. Let me know what you think of it? lol.
I will forewarn any readers that this does involve a bit of 'Big Brother' idealism. Just a warning; intended for mature audiences.

We know that all the bailout money so far IS NOT going to work. It's evident that it is only procrastinating the inevitable. 1) Before any more funds are allocated as a 'bailout' or 'stimulus' or any other such idiotic terminology, the government pushes the stop button.
When a driver has steered off the road, it is the wisdom of, and in best interest of, the driver to correct the steer and return to the road, given traffic is clear to proceed ...or pull over if possible, stop, regain composure, then resume corrective action and get going.
I think we missed a turn back somewhere, and we need to get on the right road from where we are. Also, the traffic on the road is quite heavy, with crashes everywhere all the time ...not to mention the animals and stupid people crossing in front of us. As a nation, as well as a global society, we need to realize that the childhood dreamcar we've been racing around in for the past couple hundred years is falling apart ...maintenance is more than its worth. It's time to buy a new car.

I remember the days when people were looked at funny for owning foreign vehicles; when no foreign auto felt comfortable in the same parking lot as American autos. People dreamt away childhoods fantasizing about American cars. Now, oh man! Now, it costs too damn much to start with, and sure as h3ll isn't worth it, drinks too much gas, could do better on safety and safety related recalls, and aren't near as powerful as the yacht my dad bought the family when we were kids in Hillsboro, ND; it was American. Or, how about those American cars that are suchered (probably not spellt right -- those dissolvable stitches) up pieces from around the globe.

Haha. You're probably waiting for me to get to number 2. I'll get there ...lol.

In a process that would take, in my naive estimate, approximately two years if done right and well, we can set our compasses and embark on a journey, together; bring hope back to EVERY American; change the economic structure to fit for a much more 'fair share' (don't worry, not a sort of redistribution of wealth); again set for the world a goal to reach and a dream that does come true; be on a path to ending poverty and homelessness; be free from fear of a neighbor; live the American dream; show the world what democracy is all about when we can stand in the face of global adversity, and with a sure foot down proclaim, that we are proud to be American.

Here is the catch -- government direction, government involvement, government incentives, and government oversight. We pay the government a lot of money. They better start listening to us. They better start leading.

So, here's my cyllabus (i shoulda paid attention in school). It won't be possible to put the whole plan in one blog. No one would read it. So, here are things pertaining to this plan that I will address in upcoming blogs, and definitely feel free to message or comment me with questions or comments.
The future of the auto industry
Unemployment
Banking and The Market
Real Estate
Health Care
International Relations
The Friggin IRS
Education is the key to EVERYTHING

Please, stay tuned.

Economic plan

I received an email today from a friend who forwarded to me (I don't really like forwards, but, I'll still read some of them).



I think the plan would be much more effective than any of the bailouts washington is considering.



Instead of a $700 Billion bailout for the financial markets (who have been squandering our money into their pockets), consider this :



The USA population is roughly 303 million (but how many of those are legal citizens?) ...

Of that population, roughly 75% are 18+ yrs of age.

So, there are approximately 226 million 18 or older people in the US.

Lets say (liberally, without an actual statistic), 90% are legal citizens of the USA.

Now, we have 205 million 18+ US citizens.



$700 Billion divided by 205 million equals just over $3,400. I wouldn't mind $3,400. But then again, I didn't put any money into the markets ...I'm too broke, barely living paycheck to paycheck, watching gas, milk and other necessities' cost skyrocket.



So, you thot I was gonna go one direction with this ....FOOLED YA!



This bailout will cost every tax payer in this country over $3000 to attempt to stabilize the economy and right a wrong put into place by greedy rich folk who have nothing better to do than take money from others and call it an investment.



Write your congressperson and demand that not one tax dollar is spent on bailing these companies out. These companies, and the people who own and run them (who have been stuffing their pockets) should be paying every bit of it. As investors, we're informed on paper that all investments are at our own risk. What are they risking?
