Sorry, I Know Many Do Not Want Truth or Facts, Yet Many Do.

The Senate will most likely pass this bailout bill they no longer wish to call a bailout, but a rescue. Yes a rescue of us Americans . Yes and those foreign banks and investors, oh well, why not lend a helping hand to our "friends", right? Yes and they who think they do a great job, not many Americans though, an overwhelming majority, so one has to wonder just who this minority is who approve wholeheartedly? After all these politicians told us it is for us that they must do this. Yes the same ones that did this to us, now want to help us out of this mess we "irresponsible types" created. No, my friend, do they ever look in the mirror? Yes and this minority buys it and we know why. The facts are that;

1- This nation works on a credit based system, period. If you do not have a good job or any job at all your credit does not exist. Once destroyed you are for the most part for good or at least for years at best non credit worthy, pay higher for all things and hence impact the economy. The never ending cycle of financial ruin, oh and yes explotation, that they just can't seem to address.

2- Most of the credit is financed by off shore entities we owe billions to. Yes our money, industry, technology, manufacturing that they, our leaders, gave freely to these nations to support their dream, goal, agenda, ideology. Just what is so had about all this? They provide the money American companies borrow and if these companies can't borrow they cannot function. Hey now does that sound like us "personally responsible Americans" Oh, I'm sorry irresponsible Americans?

3- The average American is no longer, if ever spoken of being in any equation. They just do not exist. These politicians never talk about anything that helps you, average American. They talk to "The Middle Class", those who still have. Why, because average Americans have little to nothing to give to them any longer, fact.

4- Major experts have said a simple business bankruptcy would have ended this entire facade immediately, yes highly respected persons of knowledge, [read the Tampa Tribune article Today, opinion section] but people just do not understand how that would have been effective and they will never hear it from these politicians who desire to bail out their friends around the world with taxes. It is what it is, it is as simple as that.

5- Those who have are worried about the house of cards crashing down and losing $$$. Well it has my friends. Yes and this temporary fix will only do what the addict gets, a temporary rush and what they call a fix which is meaningless as the word is defined.

6- So they continue with usury, all legalized, they ignore the breaking of law and intend to make it all legal, the lie, no well, what about "America has no problems" and "the foundation is strong" yes and "this will help Americans". Ok where is Paul Harvey when you need him? What Americans are you speaking to because those who do not understand think you are talking to them.

The simplicity of this reality is beyond belief. We have been sold the bridge over and over again and we continue to step up and buy it. Why repeat it over and over and over again because it is as I say unbelievable. This is truly the nation of those who have and I will add want more. And a nation of have not and growing daily.

Now as one writer just stated it is "the Human Condition" that fails over and over again and I agree. That we all fail is another truth. Yet to consistently, blatantly and arrogantly do the same time after time after time, the same things that We the People accept, openly and without shame and even bragging about it all, well it speaks to the nations very character and soul.

I really do not care what you call me, you profess to be, quote scripture or whatever, you cannot, no cannot offer facts that say what they have done for average Americans except negative facts. In fact the opposite overwhelms you and you cannot respond in truth so you focus on the fluff, the words, the content of speeches. All hollow and empty. They never say HOW and WHEN because they can't and when they do they can't deliver on what they say is the how. You can't as well. It is the disclaimer on the package only in bolder form. You live off of hope and promises that get this, never come. They just can't, open your eyes and look at reality. For them maybe but not you.

Yes I will reduce taxes for the Middle Class, ok where will you take it back because you have to take it from somewhere to give it? I say read the fine print it is there. Yes the same as a person in a one sided relationship. One takes, takes and takes and the other gives, gives and gives but always with hope and yes even prayers all will change for the good. Do you think God just might want you to open your eyes and really see?

You see the answer is that many do not see it at all. They would rather kill the messenger then accept the truth, the face in the mirror, the truth that is within themselves. Yes like the drug addict, the alcoholic and others who are addicted they refuse to accept the simple truth. Until that is done, nothing will ever change.

I personally have lived with the first hand the lies, the greed, the exploitation, the lack of concern, the mediocrity and can say first hand it is alive and well all across this land and this world. Complainer, only to those who love what they have and are not interested in truth or others and their agenda and not the General Welfare. To them I am a complainer. To others I am just another average person crying out for the things that need to be said.
