jla....Your post is not only one of the finest I've ever seen you write, but it is the longest I remember. I totally agree with everything you have stated with one tiny exception (Burberrys won't make it here no matter how hard they try. Once people are used to the way Nordstrom does business on a National scale, and not just here in Seattle, they tire quickly of snooty, and rude clerks who think they are doing you a favor by even greeting you, the customer.)
The feeling of unease is something that most people sense is real. This is precisely what the "tea party and town hall" events are about! Americans everywhere, and especially the citizens 50 years+ remember well that one can't continue spending borrowed money and paying it back with more borrowed money/credit, without the entire budget falling to the ground in flames! Many of our youngsters have that yet to learn.
People also sense something is terribly wrong with an administration that simply rushes ahead, pushes for bills to be completed, BILLIONS of dollars added that shouldn't be there, doesn't read the bills, and then votes them into law. No one wants to be lied to continually. Even most of the people who voted for this mess, believed the campaign rhetoric about transparency and bi-partisanship. Now most, except the Hard Left core of believers, know it was a sham.
There have been NO jobs created in business, only the government which continues to be a drain on the system. People without jobs for a long period of time will rise up.
Obama and his people better get a grip on things very soon.... If they did NOTHING else but let the market work like it is supposed to, to create jobs, and they lowered the taxes, it would turn things around….as it is now, it is not looking good at all from any knothole from which we peer. |
