Not really a party guy...I've not "always" voted for a democrat;-) I REALLY do think Obama's better suited to lead... this go 'round.<BR/><BR/>I've been doing a lot of reading and research on this "bailout" and I do believe that "something" needs to be done but if you take a crack-head off crack...there WILL be some major withdrawals. Overall it's better to NOT be addicted to crack. likewise, i believe in a "good rescue package" for our economy or take a more "nicaderm cq" approach and take steps to correct our economy in the long run. <BR/><BR/>I'll be posting "Debate Watching for Dummies" later tonight...hope you get a chance to read it before this Thursday.Thed Wellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770115856781926662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434078766224250925.post-52888862760448279542008-09-30T20:36:00.000-05:002008-09-30T20:36:00.000-05:00Thedlitical, I agree with most of what you wrote o...Thedlitical, I agree with most of what you wrote on this post(I can't believe I said that!!)LOL!! The thing about this situation is that must americans dont really understand how much is tied to credit directly or indirectly. For instance, the average small business uses their line of credit to make payroll when receivables are down and cash is short. How would you like to work all week and not get a paycheck? What would that do to the morale of the American workforce? We as Americans need to learn how to "survive" again. My father was the son of a tenant farmer so he knows how to farm and live off of a little. He told me that they rarely went to the store compared to me going to the grocery store at least once a week. My father in law grows every vegetable that you've probably ate this month. I even took up the hobby of growing vegetables last year, but the average American doesn't know what they'd do if the grocery stores closed down b/c they couldn't get the credit to purchase their inventory. I'm not chicken little screaming that the sky is falling, but something needs to be done. Another thing that is overlooked is the fact that the government stands to make a handsome sum off the the money that is "invested" in this deal. <BR/><BR/>That being said you really sounded "self reliant" in your latest post. Do I smell a party switch? We'll welcome you w/ open arms. Okay, you can even wait until after the elections in Nov. Oh well, the offers on the table :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434078766224250925.post-62477311209034485032008-09-29T18:08:00.000-05:002008-09-29T18:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for speaking out:-)Thanks for speaking out:-)Thed Wellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770115856781926662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434078766224250925.post-13858020304332277652008-09-28T22:18:00.000-05:002008-09-28T22:18:00.000-05:00Excellent post.We haven't had credit cards since 2...Excellent post.<BR/><BR/>We haven't had credit cards since 2001. We went over to debit cards and now we can sleep at night. At Christmas we buy carefully and sanely and aren't swamped with the credit card bills that keep everyone else awake after the holidays are over.<BR/><BR/>My point is, we live much like you describe. We don't spend what we don't have. We don't own a house, so in reality, we haven't much to lose if the country's bank account goes belly up. The real concerns for us are food and fuel prices, but we're dealing.<BR/><BR/>Our country has gotten so used to living the fat life that it's forgotten that there is a life without the big car, big house, big boat and big debt. Status symbols don't make for a happier life -- that comes from things that can't be bought.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for "following" me!Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434078766224250925.post-55963616790182375002008-09-28T06:46:00.000-05:002008-09-28T06:46:00.000-05:00& another thing...Quit trying to "Grand-S...& another thing...Quit trying to "Grand-Stand" McCain!
