It's good to pause and give Thanks from time to time. The Bible teaches us to be more enthusiastic with our Thanks than with our desires. There are so many things I'm thankful for; clearly I won't be able to name them all here, but I figured I'd list a few this week, in no particular of importance.
You've heard of reaping what you sow, but that's more of a capitalist way of looking at things. In light of upcoming events, let's go the socialist route and speak about reaping what others sow.
There are things such as reaping the benefits of soldiers hard work to keep our nation free, but that seems like such a downer for a Thankful week such as this. Besides, that's old hat. Sowing the oats of freedom...being thankful for that is so the past 8 years.
So let's look to the future...to hope and change. Boy I'm glad that this change is something worthy of being Thankful for.
So here's to you, sowers of the change I'm about to reap. Thank you lenders, for sowing the labor of faulty home loans. Thank you Congress and Presidents, for pushing home ownership to those that can't afford it. Thank you Treasury Secretary and banks for freezing foreclosures on said owners that couldn't afford the house that you sold them. Thank you all for refusing to let companies fail. Thank you Government for taking ownership in America's banks. Thank you auto unions for your 2200 page union contracts with auto makers and double employee salary compared to foreign competitors. Thank you Congress, again, for bailout after bailout after bailout. Thank you for the wonderous gift of so much tax burden that my grandchildren will be able to hear stories of how candy bars only cost their grandpa ten bucks. I am so thankful for being able to reap the benefits of all these wonderful gifts you all have sown for us lately.

Yeah, they better not bail out the auto's, they have to get rid of the unions to have any chance of competing. Let them go into Chapter 11, get rid of unions and the infamous "job banks", restructure, have the gov. pony up interim financing (if the free marlket won't provide it) so people won't be afraid to buy US cars and let them restructure.
Omigosh! I busted out laughing at the $10 candy bar that my husband wanted to know what I was laughing at so I read him the whole post.
Truly. I know it's not funny. I guess this has all worked out perfectly for the Democrats. I guess we will all understand now when our pets are required to pay taxes because every living thing will be paying taxes now.
So much for the middle class help!
Great post!
But, the question is--would things have been different with a republican president?
I do not think so.
I agree Marel. They are all loopy, wanting to excerise their control and rescue whom they deem worthy under the veil of being too large to fail.
Republicans wouldn't have done much different. They haven't hit bottom yet...only a stark few have said no to the bailouts from the beginning. I can only hope that those stark few light a fire under someone in Washington, because currently all my representatives are all of the loopy variety.
