I'm excited about our economic future - no really!

Okay today Paulson, Treasury Secretary or who ever he is, is finally doing his job.   The government should have been over seeing and regulating every area of our economy for the past seven and half years.   Bush is clueless - so we had no leader.   McCain, like my 75 year old step dad is buried mentally in the past.  War!   War!  War!  Nothing else stands out.   I won't even try to understand it - or why men want to fight so much - in the first place?   Every time I hear McCain speak he brings up the past.  All the man knows is prisoner of war!   Not to negate that but as a president, we need some one in the moment.  Living in the present.   It's plain to see he is economically naive.   He admits that himself!   Hey, we are already living in a mess here in this country, we don't need it to go on, and on, and on.   And for McCain it's not good P R to have Joe Lieberman correct you during a public speak in regards to who Iran is training - extremist or terrorist.    Correct answer:  Extremist.  Or so Joe says.

But this greed that got us into all this financial and economical trouble could have it's positive sides.    Like people waking up to reality forwards a change in their living habits which could possibly have a "green" affect.   Gee, why not move back into the city!   That's a novel idea!   But, first city schools much be clean up and credited once again.   When people begin insisting that inner city schools get up to snuff then more and more will move back.   But once again - everyone wants the money, the title and the provided car.  Be a big shot!    But nothing gets done!   

People would move out of the suburbs back into the city and live closer to work if city schools were decent.     See once again we need over sight to these issues but even state government is lacking in foresight.   It's a no brainer - better city schools, cool condos and housing, and people will move back in the city saving gas - driving little smart cars.  Instead of ego gas guzzlers which any more makes a guy look down right stupid.   All he need to do is have a cigarette hanging out of his mouth yet to really impress people.    Besides anymore  every body knows that no body has any money.   Anyone in their right mind needs to be cutting corners on spending.   So if you see a flirting, smiling, guy driving a big ass pick up and dragging on a cigarette making his health uninsured self look really ignorant don't smile back.   Put blinders on to this kind of ignorance.

People today need to be money conscious and smart.  Downsize is key.   Save up a couple of months rent money or car payments in case you lose your job.   Keep your job even though you hate it - at least you have one - while before it gets out sourced.

Here is what I am excited about.   Things are getting so bad that the government is forced to do it's job and that is over see and regulate all areas of financial, economical and manufacturing businesses.   We just can't allow corporations to run amok like this administration has been doing.   Frankly it appears to me that they didn't give a shit they were too interested in fining ways to go to war to protect their oil interest.  Just how much money can there men spend?   It's dog eat dog - let's see you can "win" and get the most money!  It's disgusting to me.   Be a real man and take care of your family and country and think about the future for a change.

I know, I'm preaching now.   I'll try this again.   What I'm excited about is that maybe more people will sell (too bad, you waited too long - now you won't get anything for that gas guzzler  - see how the American auto industry set you up?  He He.  You fell for their advertising, or your buddy did.  He bragged.  So then you had to buy a super guzzler too!   Oh nothing new, it's repeats generation after generation.) their gas guzzlers and down size.   Train your mind.   Walk away from buying that hot car and use sense.    I know it's no fun - but you'll look intelligent and "green". 

I know - walk to the Metro and ride it to work instead of driving.    CNN featured an over weight woman who began working to the Metro stop and rode it to work because gas got too expensive and she lost 40 pounds.  She boosted  that next year we probably won't even recognize her - I love that.    Now see, what a woman!   She took a negative situation and turned it into a positive situation.   And she was beaming.   She was very happy.  It was good to see.

Now she looked very intelligent to me.  I was very impressed and she taught me a few things.

Move close to work, bring your lunch, walk to public transit.   Demand better city schools - it's why most people sprawled to the suburbs in the first place.
