If the housing industry and mortgages is where the current U.S. financial problem is then why aren’t we doing something about that?  Why aren’t we throwing money at those industries?

This sounds like going to war in Iraq after 9/11 when Osama Bin Laden is in Afghanistan!!!

While we (my 84 year old father, 80 year old mother, and me driving) were enroute from Chicago to Arizona this past weekend I heard a caller to the Rush Limbaugh show give this idea which I thought was FANTASTIC:  Rather than bailing out Wall Street with $700 billion, take $100 billion and divide it up amongst all the U.S. registered voters.  He went on to say that averaged about $200K to each. He also suggested that use of these monies would be at the taxpayer’s discretion.

I also like what Ralph Nader says which is to give funds to businesses and banks which are suffering because of what Wall Street did.  And if money is given Wall Street taxpayers get shares and ownership!

There’s blame and guilt to go around if I dealt in that.  Bankers, mortgage brokers, etc and homeowners wanting a bargain are equally responsible.

I also like the idea from the parable of the Talents from the Bible.  Give $100 billion each to the registered voters, $100 billion to small business, $100 billion to Wall Street and let the best man win!

I think this bailout/rescue situation requires it be wholistic rather than monolithic.

Because He’s Black

This older white guy asked me, ‘Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he’s Black?’

So I asked him, ‘Are you Not voting for him because he’s Black?
Why can’t I vote for him just because he’s Black?
Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just because they are
Black, passed over for promotions just because they are Black, considered to
be criminals just because they are Black, but you don’t seem to have a
problem with that.
This country was built with the sweat and whip off the Black slaves back.
This same country where we weren’t even considered to be people.
Where we weren’t allowed to be educated, drink from the same water
fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you damn right
I’m going to vote for him!


Not Just Because he’s Black,

But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand
when my grandson or granddaughter says they want to be president when they grow up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal,
Because they will see, understand, and know, that they can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because they are Black!
Amen.
