Time to Repair

"The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining".

John F. Kennedy, State of the Union, 1962.

I know that the population in whole does not see the economy shining and I am not one to promote political quotes or even attempt to understand why we acknowledge political statements with our current U.S. economy.  However, we must forge ahead as our grandparents did, by working diligent at our jobs and focusing on our Christian beliefs and family values.  Yes I do sound conservative, but when did the true middle class exist and people believe in the American Dream.  The answer is simple, when each of the areas I just stated actually held meaning and were respected by our nation and upheld in our government.  Justification is not needed for discussion or proof presented, as our current status speaks volumes.

"I do not believe we can wait for the sun any longer".  It's time to work hard.

Economics and Heart

“The truth is we are all caught in a great economic system which is heartless”

Woodrow T. Wilson

How do we evaluate our current situation and future outlook if we add in the emotional factor.  If we consider the Heartless factor presented in the time of Woodrow Wilson, then I believe the concensus would be that Wilson might need to up date his choice of wording.  We might use the term cruel or many similar words within the family of heartless.

Will we ever see a change o the positive in this mindset or will we continue on the road of Heartless?

Value

You might be a redneck if... the blue book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas it has in it. - Jeff Foxworthy

Determining the value of almost every asset in our economy has become so difficult and more volatile than any other time in history. This is true more so than the Great Depression, as value could be argued to be closer to Zero than our most recent recession.  We are trying to predict coal prices, natural gas prices, oil prices, etc. We are saying we want to become more self sufficient, but look at our coal industry.  Now the natural gas industry is facing future environmental controls that have shutdown the coal industry.

I have heard since I was a young boy that "we are our own worst enemy."  Is there a more TRUE time in history that this statement is REALITY and we are killing our own economy?

"If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?"     Stanislaw J. Lee

Yes, because there is always an attorney around to tell him how much it is worth and how much he is to be paid for the advice.  Even happens to those of us who can count.

We must begin to break the bondage we allow the secular world to place upon us.
