Will prosperity return to America?

In my opinion yes, but first lets put that into perspective. Rhetorically, for who will it return? Now we are talking prosperity here not job. That means the American Dream not just survival. While I have written to the causes of this economic disaster numerous times the simple reality is that eventually prosperity will return. There is a caveat to it all though that cannot be denied. It will not be talked about. It will not be mentioned. It will be ignored. What is that? It will return to those who have. Have a job and make a good income. Those who are wealthy and can invest. Those who still have credit but really do not need it. That is who will see prosperity, the American Dream. The rest, well sadly assets to be used as required, no more, no less. A little blunt well hell tough times sometimes require tough talk. Now why this opinion. Well the hand writing is already on the wall and it cannot be washed off.

Simply speaking the America we knew before this crisis is no more. It just isn't the same country by many variables. Although the facades are still propagated and consumed by the vast number of Americans the reality of economics for the multitude of Americans is America is no more as it once was. Sure average Americans still hope in the American dream and many come searching after it. They are certain, if foreigners, to find it, but I am talking Americans. No, not racist, fact you all know as true. So if Americans opened their eyes it is not a reality for many any longer. Like Bagdad Bob the Iraq people still bought into the Americans were no where to be found , that is until they drove past his studio window. So it is with America today. Until the debt collector shows up at the door many will still hope in the same people who brought them to this end. It is truth, reality no more then that. As we used to say about communists, "they have bought the party line".

Fact, if elected McCain wanted to choose the guy to help him that is now being investigated for buying that Jet with our bail out money and giving out millions in bonus money. The second in command at the Fed who was supposed to protect us, well he works for our new president. Yes and they all ate lunch at the White House the other day. Birds of a feather that you all trust and hope in. Excuse me, what size collar do you have? Yes and get this the same ones our new president called "irresponsible", really. Rhetorically I thought that was reserved for only us poor dumb Americans who can't handle it any more?

You see it is beyond imagination or conception to Americans that this nation would just disappear as it is perceived by many. Yet by fact we are no longer a Republic by nature of what we do only on what is written on that document we call the Constitution. When you hear Nationalize, and government ownership you are talking socialism, plain and simple. When you hear Universal Health Care, open borders, etc you are talking socialism. When you hear government control, you are hearing socialism. It is all there right before you.

Now those who are all for that system will ask is that such a bad thing and argue until they are blue in the face this is right and correct for the masses. Notice I said masses. That is right, the cattle, bovine. Perhaps they are right? A global one world system. That is right. Rhetorically it sounds to me like the tower of Babel. After what I see I cannot imagine how any thinking person could think otherwise in this day and age.

Now notice I didn't mention the past, our history as a nation. It is not relative any longer. Real knowledge and wealth is in the hands of the few, fact. Yes they talk of education then speak to an 8 th grade level or less. We have people who don't even comprehend what they read and they teach others. Is this addressed, no, not relative or pertinent.

So getting back to will America recover the answer is yes, for those that have. If you read and comprehend see who they direct everything towards. Who they focus on. You see the poor and average as a liability and the have necessary to make money. Those that have required to fuel the engine. The rest add ons long past the American Dream of ownership. There is nothing, no nada, no zilch, they can say differently, it is reality. Now the have of this nation still have a job. They can still invest, save, buy. You tell me if you can? Well if you are in the have category reality says you still have that capability. In reality even you may find it hard getting credit while the truly really have get. That is what they are attempting to do. Get you back into the bling of things.The majority of "middle income", making $75,000 and up, to you prosperity will definietly come over time mind you and it matters not what form.

As for you average out there, that is the many of you worker bee's, your hoping. They will turn to who they trust to hear or read. What the Bagdad Bob types tell them. Like I said last year some of you who shunned my message have now joined the ranks of the unemployed and more to come. They are now or soon will join those who are now being pursued night and day, electric turned off, forced out onto the street, split up. Yes while those in power offer you facades, yes no more then facades that are professed in the name of hope, "help is on the way'. Help yes, I believe that for those as our president says "hang in there" and still can, for now. For you now, like the rest of us non credit worthy, irresponsible, unemployed Americans, yes help is on the way, but in reality, for who?
 
Well let me add this as reported on the AP today by our new president " He said his administration wants to make sure low-income people "get a piece" of the American pie "if they're willing to work for it." If your presently out of work, or just a poor average family, just what does that line mean?

In life you can either accept reality and do something about changing it or you can go along with the masses. If you accept reality then you can facec it and do what needs to be done. If you hope and hope fails then it just may be too late. You might hear if you only called me sooner. So hope yes but be wise and prudent. For the haves, yes, prosperity will certainly return.

So when you hear and read people talking about prosperity, or give our new president a chance, I'm all for that. I hope like you do, I would rather be wrong, but always keep in mind just who is supporting them. What is their economic background, lifestyle, job? In 9 of 10 cases you will find, they still have.
 
Read my latest at the very bottom maybe that will wake some up?
