You Just Below the Very Top That Have Say Bye, Bye

Our president now using terms like "irresponsible, inexcusable", really? Did this just happen? It seems they exist everywhere we look, the bankers and now our Congress, golly gee how strange? Many of you sit there worried about your "nest egg" well worry is appropriate because you allowed this to continue. You condoned those you elected and by your deeds you are reaping what you have sown. You cheered them and supported them and even gave your money and time. You do not care to hear bad news, it scares you. Well it should. Like those "sitting out the storm" if you come through with nothing you say see, "I told you so'. Yet let tragedy strike and you hear the opposite, where is the help? "Why didn't they come?" Please you know why, in my opinion you were and are part of the why. No use repeating it. Just suck it up there isn't any.

Help is not on the way for most. Read my prior article on page one about prosperity. Yes trust in men and you reap what men deliver. Now you just below the very top of the wealthy scale and have and who are part of that 20% who own America but not part of that upper 5% of that 20% who are the real owners. Those who will never be destitute, face foreclosure, hear the call of the bill collector on unsecured notes with usury as interest or their lawyers who chase after the dead, hoping. No God has a plan for them but like us they just may not like it? You see they reap what they sow as well only they don't think so or even recognize it. It is called "a strong delusion".

So you who just happen to still have something cling to it hard. The rest, that " middle class" of Americans, well slowly but surely it is going to disappear. It has to. Why, there are few if any that have anything left they can take from. You, that is who have, carry the ball. Why, well simply speaking, Average Americans all across this land are the out of work with few to no jobs to even apply for. Hiring freezes, more layoff's expected and the statistics do not count, yes DO NOT COUNT. Those already through the system and still out of work no where to be counted. Career Central, Workforce Innovation please give us a break, No one and I mean no one speaks to reality. They cloud it all with mirrors and smoke screens and like the magicians they are people buy it and crave it. By opinion and experience facades one after the other. Just take a walk through the mall or a Wal Mart. If it isn't in an area where the "have" live it is empty. Take a look at the cars parked in a shopping strip mall or box store. Lots of parking available. The little people, the meat and potatoes of this economy crushed, gone, not returning soon or ever. Yes and the one doing the lackey work are soon to join them. Yes all those who had their hands in someones pocket.

Yes go back and read my other works from a year or two ago. No change and why would there be? Why would there be? These are the very same people yesterday, today and tomorrow, it is simply speaking fact, reality. Why, by their works. They killed the fatted calf called America for whatever their goal or incompetence. The same ones taking trips with our money talking to lobbyists even while being critical of the bling gang. Talk about glass houses.

So until we the people demand, nothing will change. Not the change you had in mind. We were at the precipice. An article I wrote a long time ago and we have literally fallen over the edge. Pumping billions upon billions into a sinking ship that we cannot bail out fast enough and who spends your bling money and what little I have on jets and parties and bonus rewards. Yes the end will and must come soon as it is for Americans all cross this land. Yes and when the solution comes you will hail it, salute it, praise it and party for it. Why, there is no other answer and like my other article that will get few reads the answer plain as day, indoctrination. It is also that America, well sadly is not the America we all once knew. That was a fairy tale time ago.

You see it is already ordained and no amount of scoffing, laughing, ridicule, abuse can change reality and truth. Like anyone who over spends no nation can just continue to spend, spend, spend without a day of reckoning. Recovery is for the have, those will recover, the rest when, where, how? Jobs, what jobs, for who? How much will they pay? How ,many hours will one get? Can you survive on the pay? What about benefits? Oh, lets just get back to work for now. I see, do you?

The fan, hey you can't see it any longer it has been hit so often. Now let us all hope they do act and now. Because now was yesterday, now was 6 months ago, now was a year ago and still no now. Yes and the actions that can make an impact now they will not do.

I'm sorry I just don't see it all. Blinded by reality, not accepting truth they wonder in the wilderness. I just hope it isn't 40 years because I won't be here yet my family might be and what will we hand to them?

If you really want change get off you seat and do something for people, not banks, investors. We have bought this bull long enough. That is if it is bull to you?
