Hi Everyone,
Been a while eh??!! Well the world has been kinda boring the last little while so I took a break....BUT I'M BACK!
IN THE NEWS....
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned both parties that if they did not reach an agreement to INCREASE the country's debt ceiling limit it would bring catastrophic consequences to the country's economy.
well Timothy....you just need to know how to budget better. "DO I WANT IT OR DO I NEED IT" simple statement to ply your economics by: bring troops home (save you millions); shut down un-needed military installation (save you billions); take away benefits of food and travel expenses for congress and the senate (save you millions); shut down the industrial military complex (debt gone)
SEE TOLD YOU IT WAS SIMPLE!
NOW IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE THRU THE LAST GREAT DEPRESSION....you may have another soon. countries are so economically entwined with one another that if the big cahoona goes down...we all do. is that really fair? NO. do we need a one world government to fix it? NO NO NO. what people need is to stop being greedy and demand that your government do the same.
well you are saying 'come on A&E, what the hell do you mean?'
I'll tell ya....here's my view.
STOP....spending beyond your means! do you need a house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms? do you need that big SUV? do you need that extra food in the fridge that you will just toss out anyway? do you need all the little gadgets that are suppose to give you time back to do other things? do you need that 18th pair of shoes? would it be awful for someone to see that same dress again this year that you could wear?
ARE YA GETTING MY POINT PEOPLE??
make a list of all the EXTRA things you have that you could live without. put them in the spare bedroom and for 1 week TRY AND LIVE WITHOUT THEM. my guess is that 75% of you will laugh and say "why should i?" 22% of you would say "i can do that!" and fail. And 3% of you would be successful and maybe think about narrowing down the 'i want list' a bit.
why do you think that these percentages are so unreal? they are probably very accurate if it was a real poll. my question to everyone is.....WHY IS THE 75% NOT THE ONES THAT WOULD NARROW DOWN THE 'I WANT LIST'????
BECAUSE...we have lost the will to become more self-sufficient like our previous generations and opted for the governments of the world to provide for us. I HAVE A WORD FOR THIS....we are the "SHEEP GENERATION". DUMBED DOWN AND HAPPY TO BE SO.
we have replaced HAPPINESS with HURRY. we have replaced GOALS IN LIFE with CONSUMERISM. we have replaced CONTENTMENT with BLIND GREED. but worst of all....WE HAVE LET THE ONE ORGANIZATION THAT HAS LET US DOWN SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST LEAD US THEIR.....government/big business.
COME ON PEOPLE....WHO GETS THE POLITICIANS ELECTED? WHO CONTROLS THE POLICIES THEY MAKE? WHO CONTROLS WHAT YOU EAT, WHAT YOU DRINK, WHEN YOUR DAYS OFF ARE, HOW YOU DRESS, YOUR HEALTH AND WHAT YOU CAN BORROW?
MAYBE the world needs a depression, just MAYBE it needs to be knocked on its ass, just MAYBE then we will see that living free, healthy and debt free isn't such a bad thing after all. MAYBE....getting back to what is TRUE is what the world needs.
