A Bump in the Road

With the conservatives screaming about the bailout of the automotive industry and banks, you would think that this type of economic breakdown has never happen. However, someone needs to remind the Youth that between 1968-1974 stocks lost more than 75% of their value because of the Ignorance of Man. And why that is just one in a long list of stock market crashes, I would like to hear their plan to do nothing except let the banks and car manufactures fall into Bankruptcy. For what would the World look like if 499 of the S&P closed their doors tomorrow and walked away? Does anyone care to give it a try?  

No, America and the other Governments of Humanity have worked long and hard at trying to build a Better World over the last 30 years. Not Perfect nor intended to be, but one that has kept the World Leaders from blowing up the Earth, nonetheless. So My Democratic, Independent, and Republican Citizens, the way I look at this Opportunity of a Nation is that “We the People” can hide our heads in the sand and hope for the best and brightest in Washington to come up with a solution to the Issues of Man that they have been dealing with for the last 40 years. Or, We the People can help the Children of the 21^st Century and President Elect Obama work with Congress and Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders to find a 3 Dimensional Political Viable Solution to the Issues facing “We the Corporation.”  

For why I hope that one day someone will look into what Sec. of Treasury Snow did around 2004, I do believe that America is still going to need a strong Banking System and a solid Manufacturing Industry if America is going to stay Independent. So why a $1 trillion sounds like a lot of money, compared to over $52.5 Trillion per year in the current national power grid I do believe that it is a drop in the bucket so to say to what can be done by We the People if Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders were given the proper political and societal tools needed for the investors to see a safe and stable return. Because like the stock market crashes of the past and those in the future, the global economic meltdown and lack of credit is driven more by a lack of direction and leadership by Labor and Management than the fundamentals that govern profit and lost. 

Yes, look at projects like the Hoover Dam, TTA, and the Highway Programs of our parents and grandparents not to include the Great Depression Work Programs and tell me that you would be where you are at today if Americas’ Ancestors refuse to accept that Life Changes on its own terms. And why I am sure that all the Issues of the Late 60’s and Early 70’s cannot be fixed tomorrow or the next 4-8 years. Limited to a personal opinion I can almost guarantee My Peers that their Children will have more questions than answers if My Conservative and Liberal Citizens would stop repetitive positions and start offering positive solutions to help Americas’ President and Congress tame the Political Winds of Change. 

So, looking forward to getting back into blogging in the New Year in support of making America more than Energy Independent through Self-Sufficient Means I do hope that My Community Elders and Peers are ready to be shocked by Their Children and the Power of the President of the United States of America. For change is coming; however, knowing that it will by far more timid than mine I will try and respect the Spirit of the Law held by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Civil, Political, and Religious Citizens and Leaders.
