How Bad Off Are We?

Our country is not falling, we are not destined for a islamo-fascist state, and most importantly our economy isnt going to hell in a hand basket.

As I sat and listened to Lee Greenwood and watched the fireworks I started thinking. I started to think about our economy mostly. I thought, "Wow, our economy must be doing better than what I thought. Why else would the common man (or woman) be spending this sort of money for these multitudes of big ass fireworks." At one point you would have thought a few small battles had started. If America was so bad economically, one would logically think Americans were strapped for cash and would not be purchasing large amounts of gunpowder and ingiting it for shits and grins?

Our economy is in its prime to invest. This country was founded on white slave owners(read the history books, they were) who took a gamble on establishing a nation and won. Our forefathers stuck to the man or in this case King to only build and sustain the oldest form of government ever. Now, is the perfect time to "stick it to the man" economically, especially our youth. If we invest while the stocks are down we get a bigger bang for our buck. Down the road this bigger bang blesses us with the type of return to possibly build a house on a golf course in El Dorado KS. and retire at a nice age to enjoy it (as an example). The truth of the matter is this is a perfect opportunity to slowly take the reigns from our parents and start to move the nation and economy in the direction WE want it to go. (not Barack's) If we start doing this now our politicians would have no choice but to listen to the future of the nation. I, personally, do not have a problem with drilling in the ANWR if it is done as ecologically safe as possible. I dont have a problem building refineries in the barren deserts of our southwest. Most importantly I do not have a problem putting a luxury tax on fast food and raising the high taxes already on tobacco/alcohol.

In summary, we live in a great nation with great ideals. It is only a few wackjobs that make it difficult from time to time to manage our lives. Our economy is going to bounce back it is inevidible and the islamo fascists that are here seriously do not want to mess with our backwoods bubbas. These proud Americans patrol the streets with their big glass pack trucks and the rifles on display in their back windows. All the government has to say is," those bastards over there were directly responsible for the towers falling and why we have to press one for english." These fine Americans will take care of the rest. Do not forget to invest your children's college fund (lol) and to write in Robin Williams for President. Thank You.

Write more! I enjoy reading yours. So right about the economy. We tend to spend more on what we WANT than what we NEED! LOL

Hey Chris -
I completely agree!! Matt and I have taken a gamble more than once and been critisized BIG time...yeah once in a while it bites us in the ass...but we always work through it and we are as happy as they come!! TOO many people comform and do the "spose'd ta" way of life. If people came to America for freedom and choice, why then, don't people try to think on their own and be original. Just because one person is against/for a cause doesn't mean our whole free nation has to follow in that belief but they do. I guess thats okay if it works for them but I will take happy and unorthodox any day, thank you!!

I will continue to drive my 4x4 trucks regardless of the gas hike.

I will continue to be pissed about healthcare issues and continue to pay nearly $400 a month for insurance instead of feedin off of the state.

I will continue to purchase milk as the price goes up because I need something to dip my oreos in.

I will continue to be a real AMERICAN.

More people should do the same with the things they want and quit being so NEEDY!! Keep bringing up topics like this, they are fun!!

I had the exact same thoughts while listening to the fireworks go off outside on the 4th. "Hmmmm...we're doing so poorly, but people can still afford huge shows like this?"
