I took a look at the latest stimulus package to see if it could help my family. What I found inspired my rant and a few suggestions for the future.

As it turns out, I have been fiscally responsible, unlike the banks, the government and people who bought homes they could never afford. So, I’m good. There is nothing for me here. Kinda like when I paid my way through college, unable to get a grant, though I was broke, underfed and without insurance. Oh well. <insert the tiniest violin here>

My heart goes out to those who have lost their jobs, have suffered health issues during times of relentless medical cost increases or are trying to retire. These folk truly need the help to get back on their feet or have a comfortable life. I should know as I am one of them (failed job) and currently work 2200 miles away from my family so that we can survive without a handout. Humans require food, clothing and shelter. Plasma screen TVs are not on the list people. Ya heard?

The banks and the automobile industry do not deserve a dime. Giving Federal money, which comes from our taxes, to the fiscally irresponsible (and/or corrupt) is not the way to stimulate the economy. Let them fail; then support fiscally responsible people who should take their place. Never in history has there been a time where so many CEO’s have screwed their employees out of their retirements while landing softly on the ground of their estate under the luft of their golden parachute. America hasn’t failed, it is merely weeding out the riffraff.

We do not need this much government assistance. We can do this ourselves. The more help we require from government, the more helpless we become. It has helped for me to stop watching the news. It is biased and mostly crap. Use the internet to find out whats really going on. The economy has seized because we think it is. If you weren’t told, you would just be spending like normal. Read the Constitution and get back to life. Do not let our freedom be diluted by the guise of terrorism. God bless you.
