Bring It On!

Yeah so it looks like rough times ahead huh? I'd say not nearly enough. Things are going to have to get a hell of a lot worse before people in the US are willing to do anything about it. For example, compare how the citizens of the UK protested England's bank bailout. And their numbers were pittance compared to ours: 37 billion pounds (64 billion US $) vs our incredible $700 billion + $250 billion rescue and buyout. Are these numbers not insane to anyone? Should we be bailing out a system that seems so far screwed up that it needs bailing out in the first place? Shouldn't everyone know by now that bankruptcy and foreclosures are built into the system..that someone or some group has to go bust in order for us to continue with business as usual.

So my advice, not that I like to tell anyone else what to do, is to do everything in your power to bring this recession (and eventually depression) on. We're all going to learn some valuable lessons here and maybe, just maybe we'll walk away from this with a better idea of how to move forward for the future. 

So I'm torn. Vote for Obama and slow the mess down (not change it like he says)...or vote for McCain--someone who so obviously has the wrong idea for what's best for ordinary 'Joes' like myself that he'll actually make our situation worse. Hmmm....I do want things to get tougher. Because maybe then people will get off their asses for 2 seconds and say, "hey, something's not right here and I'm not going to put up with it anymore." Alright...enough ranting for now. I'm off to Starbucks for a latte and then I'm back here to catch the new Grey's Anatomy.
