OMG

OH.....MY.....GOD!! And I say God with the intent that it suggests there actually "is" a God. What has happened to the world? It's up for grabs, that's for sure! What is it that our government is trying to do to us? The high unemployment rate, the f..king health care disaster that is ALREADY NOT WORKING, the soaring crime rate, and the business community going to hell in a handbasket. And how about our national debt extending to our children's grandchildren's children, and beyond?

If there is a great world destroying meteor, now would be a good time for it to come. I have not written for a while because of all the bullshit the world is going through the last few months. I thought I would give it some time to stabilize, but guess what....! Anybody want to buy a boat, a car, a house? Will you come to my pitiful garage sale? Well, I'm not desperate enough to start selling all my belongings, but a lot of folks are, and they are doing it. So what happens whe the money runs out? It's anybody's guess.

I'm pretty sure the outcome of the mid-term elections in the United States are going to be anti-democrat. Maybe not so much republican, but definately anti-dem. This is America and we are going to go with whatever works best for us. I pretty much think we have already decided we don't want to accept the "European model" the president keeps blathering about. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that model benefits only its creators and maintainers. I forsee a lot of accusing and investigations into vote tampering in the coming election process. When the dems start losing, they will almost assuredly blame the republicans. To bad they don't have guts to look in the mirror to find out who the bad guys really are. Now I sound like a staunch republican. But I really am for whoever gives me the best deal.

After working for the last 45 years, I want to relax and enjoy my retirement. But, it would seem I am not going to be allowed to do that, along with a multitude of other people in my age bracket (55-65). I will now have to work until I die just to survive! After paying for health insurance policies, we will have to join the cat food eating club to exist. I may be exaggerating a bit, but it supports my point, which is that from now on, if you are not creative with money, and find ways to hide it, the government will surely take it from you. Then you die.

So, as I go to work, thinking about how I had to add another five year postponment to my retirement plans, I am not whistling happy tunes any more. I see working doom, no longer on top, but rather just another number in the humbling, dirt eating world of subservience to last to yet another later date to the peace that I and so many others deserve. Unless, of couse, I win the lottery. Well, we all need an ultimate goal, right? I ain't holdin' my breath on that one.

Later
