Man-Up-America Part II

Our politicians are ignorant of any responsible economic policy. The American economy is not viable as a consumer based entity that produces little of any substance besides banking products. We as a people are more than a potential sale. The drive for cheap labor has created a bubble that has burst all of the hopes and dreams of the little people. This drive must be addressed by the same politicians that have exploited the people with such disregard. But will they? Or will they continue the “bail out” lie? Of course they will! Man - Up- America!

Henish hypocrisy, the politico speak is about jobs, jobs, jobs. This expedient language must generate the warm and fuzzies. Could all the verbiage be a way to avoid tackling the job destroyer, free trade? Is anyone bragging about being a free trader in this atmosphere when the two, free trade and home grown jobs, are incompatible. The trick is to achieve a balanced approach that has not existed for the last two decades. Man - up- America!

Henish manipulation of our economic system is most commonly referred to as governmental bailout. The bailouts trade long term security and viability for some resemblance of a short term fix, weather or not it proves successful. With each gyration of the boom and bust cycle the downside becomes increasingly uncomfortable, so here we are again. Why can’t we stand pat now, take our lumps, and leave a legacy for future generations that may include economic opportunities? Man - Up -America!

The election of Barack Obama has deservedly generated the warm and fuzzies amongst us. As one injustice is abating in our society, another has come into prominence. Racial equality has been replaced by a struggle of equal venom and selfishness, class warfare amongst the people, we are divided. Some have described the division in differing ways but money is the issue. The invested class, those who make decisions as they watch the DOW Jones, the interest rate on their moneyed accounts and IRA’s, have opened a gulf of disregard for the rest of the little people. This societal warfare is who we have become. Man - Up -America!

As a country we are in a huge ditch. Caught between a veritable rock and a hard place. The national bank account is empty, we have already amassed a gargantuan national debt and are being told to spend our way out of this current economic dilemma. The hens are also saying it may not work but at least we’re doing something. The question is at what price? As we the little people know, the house really belongs to the bank until the mortgage is paid. Who shall be our banker, to whom shall we surrender out national integrity? Shall we be another Chinese province? No! Man - Up -America!
