With the finger pointing at almost everybody that is engaged in the economic problems now facing the United States, and rest assured we do indeed have some SEVERE economic problems, it is my conclusion that it comes straight back to one simple word, “Greed”.
The greed factor has been aggravated by out media outlets by money hungry advertising of products the majority if which encourage the gullible stupidity of the American buying public. We have to have more, bigger, faster, homes, automobiles, boats and second houses.
Does this observation ring a bell? It should sound a warning, loud and clear that we are building a house of cards that are now sounding a warning that if we do not heed it will certainly reduce our once powerful country to one that is just barely able to keep itself fiscally afloat.
Our national government cannot escape it’s share of the blame, with its greed factor, witness the “earmarks” attached to almost every bill that is sure to pass and be signed into law.
The totally obscene Washingtonian waste factor can be cut off if the voters will go to the polls, after having made an intelligent appraisal, and make our political leadership feel the sting of an aroused electorate.
As a proud American veteran I can only plead through these writings for my fellow Americans to wake up and smell the coffee and modify their lifestyles, and get back control of our political destiny and we can surely prevail.
Please remember that our government is composed of three, repeat three, branches and we voters can control those who represent us in each of the branches.
