It looks as though the economy is getting much better these days. I am seeing more and more people going back to work, and far less foreclosures in my area than I did a year ago. I have seen multitudes of manufacturing businesses reopen, and many jobs return. America has been producing now for well over a year and our trade deficit is next to nothing. All those bailouts the banks received helped thousands upon thousands get their mortgages modified and these same people are now back on their feet, rebuilding their credit, and paying their debts down. What was more amazing is all the small mom and pop stores are competing very well with our behemoth stores like Wal-Mart. I mean come on, have you tried to drive their parking lot lately? I am so surprised no one has been mugged or kidnapped from that place. I did hear once that someone was trampled at one of their stores on black Friday, but I am sure that is just urban legend. I mean come on now; we are in a civilized country!
I guess the republicans were right after all. Once the socialist party once known as the democrats gave up fighting to regulate big businesses, the free market flourished and now people are making enough money to further their education, put money in the bank, and save for their children’s education. What was more amazing is how the lazy people finally went out and got a job. I mean come on now, with all those help wanted signs all over the place, what excuse did they have at this point.
Did anyone notice how quickly the health care industry fixed itself when the Baucus bill was passed? Once everyone was mandated by the government to purchase their services, the cost of health care came down drastically. It took a few months, but hey, anything is better than another six decades, right? I cannot believe how I can now afford both my medications and the necessary tests for my heart and cancer care. From what I hear, there are a few people still not covered, but because of the new laws, they are either illegal or just downright lazy and by tax time, the government will get them anyways. I sure am glad our government is making sure that these very important services are being purchased. I think they are going to use that tax or fine and just hand it over to the insurance companies too. Thankfully, I wouldn’t want anyone to be without care either, nor did we need bigger government with the public option.
Anyone notice how the big 3 are doing these days? Once GM & Chrysler failed, it was nice to see Toyota, Honda, and Volkswagen hire all those unemployed people. From what I hear, they are making great wages and all their retirements are vested back in the stock market. Once it hit 10,000 again, all that wealth people lost about a year ago was right back in their retirement and they are now living much easier these days. Did any of you hear about the loyalty these companies will be to their mother country in case we have to go to war again? They will convert all their factories when necessary to build war products in case we are attacked again. How ironic too. I must have been paranoid to think that saving our own car industry or heck, buying anything American made, would have made any difference in our economy or to our countries security and best interest.
There are so many things to be thankful for and I am so glad I finally opened my eyes to the wonders of the free market. Never again will I stand and demand a level playing field for all Americans, I will just sit back and wait, and it will work itself out. All that energy on fair wages, affordable health care, and equal rights, it was all spent on nothing. Oh, and if you believe any of what I just wrote, than the following words are for you.
Standing for nothing means you will fall for anything!
