Only 2% of Bailout is earmarked for renewable cleaner energy resources.  sorry

I happen to agree with you Geo,

After his election scenes like this should have rang it home to many of us.  ((youtube id="p68XfbBmnM0"))((/youtube))

More to come.

In many cases I hope my opinion is not the reality.  My fear is of being correct in my observations.

I will bet none of you were expecting ME!! 

 Hi Joe, Jim, Georgios and everyone.  A little while ago I saw Georgios pop up on the screen and I clicked and here it sat until a few minutes ago when I got to read some of the posts in this fine forum.

I purposely refrained from posting in here during the election.  I am not exactly what one would refer to as politically motivated or enthused.  I have spent more time dwelling and reading about what is happening in this country and globally in the last 12 months than I have in a lifetime.

So, that little confession out of the way, I will admit that the dwelling and reading that I have been doing has also had me praying a lot - for the leaders of our country and others - who spend a lot of time making promises that they are not going to be able to keep.  That is not to say that they don't WANT to make those changes, it's that they are not going to be able to.

Branka, always calls me the Queen of Simplicity - well, in all honesty, I am.  This all gets way too complicated for me.  There are so many issues that I easily see both or three sides of. So why argue a point one way if you can easily argue it the other as well? 

Well, Georgios, I have to agree with this and I could never have put it so eloquently!

"Difficult days are coming for your country and the whole world. At the beginning more people will HOPE together with The President for better times to come but the Heavenly manna will not come. HOPE you know doesn't fill empty stomaches. To give something to the poorest he mus take it for some others. Who is willing to give away his property. NOBODY. Barack Obama will not be able to do much."

So, I am not EXPECTING bad things to come.  I am praying that all will start improving.  I do know what I have read though, and I am preparing for things to stay as they are or go down hill for a while.  After 61 years and almost 32 of them spent as an accountant in the construction industry, I can tell you that I have never seen a down trend quite like this one and I have been through quite a few. 

Now if I just go with what my gut is telling me (and it has ALWAYS been my best guage of anything) - it gets pretty depressing.  If I choose to stay positive, pray, help whenever and wherever I can, and know that in the end this is just life on earth and there are better things to come - every day is a great day!!

I hope you are having one!

Hugs and blessings,

Judy

Judy in a way I am sorry you came and glad. 

Mainly because I am fixing to post something most people do not know.  The title of the video is not mine and I would never use the title.   I really do not want insult you.

I was amazed when I learned of it and sheltered it away years ago, like good worker drone I was.  Here is why we are so upside down and topsy turvy and have nowhere to turn but to hope and faith that there is light at the end of tunnel.  Our Leaders in all their wit and wisdom have enslaved us for generations.  Listen to what Peanut Farmer did it to us.

Now you know what the bailout is all about.  Someone called in a BIIIIIGGGGGGG  Marker!
