The Hungry American

I sit here watching the news and listening to the plight of the American worker. I am wondering just how many of us are wondering where their next meal will come from. Just how many are wondering how to pay their electric bill much less their mortgage. I am not talking about BIG AMERICA, for we already know that they got their bills taken care of. I am talking about you and me! We work our ass off at the very least 40 hours a week. We work to support our families and pay the bills. Yet every payday there is something that does not get paid. These are not people that bought a $500,000.00 home on a 60,000.00 a year income.  These are just plain regular folks like you and me. While the politicians say the billions tagged for Big America will help you and I, I stand to differ. Once again, we are the ones who will be paying in the end. I was not shocked in the least to find out that once the money was approved Big America was having parties and celebrating with YOUR dollar. Does Big America pay your bills? NO! There is nothing wrong with cutting back in our household budgets. I mean we all have. Store brands are looking a lot better than the name brands. Yes we have to have chicken instead of steak. For some of us Tuna helper is what is for dinner. So, Big America, while you are eating big and slapping backs remember us. The Simple American who is paying your bills! Enjoy!

Great American Bailout

I am just a simple American. I work hard and try to raise my family in today's trying times. I have a mortgage, two kids at home, 2 dogs and a frog. I would like to think I care about my neighbors and the other families in our country. Like most of us, I wonder just how much this bail out is going to cost us. No matter what other countries and people might think we do not have a never ending money tree in this country. Someone will pay for this Great American Bailout! That my friends will be you and I! No matter what our great leaders say, someone has to pay the bill. So, on top of paying YOUR mortgage and other bills you will be bailing out BIG AMERICA. I ask you, where is our lobbyist? Our congressmen, our state rep's whose pockets are lined by the Big Business Lobbyists? No....we are on our own. This bill is being presented as a way for Big Business on Wall Street to continue loaning money. What about us? What about the Simple American? We are the ones that spend the money that makes our economy run. How about paying our mortgages instead. Then WE as Americans could ensure that our great economy continues to turn by putting our money back into the systems. But no, our leaders choose to bail out the few! So while you, the Simple American are wondering if you are going to be the next victim, you can guarantee that Big America will be eating at the best restaurants and playing golf at the best clubs. They will do this because we have let them! The Blue Chips will still look down at us as the Small Investor, The Medium Income Household and the Poor! Yet we are the ones that will be paying their bill. So Big America, for taking all that you can get on the back of the Simple American, This No Name Beer Is For You!

The Frustration Continues

First of all let me tell you that I am just a pretty basic person. I do not feel that my needs are too complicated. I would however like to write and put my thoughts and expressions in writing.
Now, that is not to say that I expect a great deal of readers for I am most sure that my thoughts and feelings will be lost in the great complexities of the World Wide Web. However, there is that small chance that someone will visit and maybe get a smile or share the same outlook on our life as I do. Even if they don't, a good argument is always welcome.
