Hello everyone, I’m delighted you took the time to stop by and check out my web site.  From time to time I get feed up with things and this is my place to vent.

I’m not a political person but in the past years this country had gotten into one H#@% of a mess.  I know President Barrack Hussein Obama blames President George Walker Bush and some of that might be true since it happened on President George Walker Bush’s watch.  I think we all know that the blame comes from CONGRESS and the people we elect over and over again to take care of the countries business.  It seems they are too busy having hearing after hearing on baseball players and television analog signals when they should be taking care of the business of the country.

It is just beyond me when I hear advertisements on the radio about come borrow money from me, no down payment, no job required.  Well who in the H#@% is going to pay the loans back?  What happen to the time when you had to sit down with a bank loan officer and go over your financials to see if you could afford to make a purchase like a car or home?  I think we have all seen that the banks will loan you any amount you want even if you don’t have a job.  I just don’t understand. 

Our representatives try to send each other a message by not voting on this or that unless they get something in return.  I find it hard to believe they can pass a bill like they did on 13 Feb 09 without even knowing what was in it from front to back.  No way could they have read the entire bill before voting.  It was 500 pages in the beginning and now is 1100 pages.   BUT THEY DID.  Why do we have to have so many special items in each bill to get it passed?  Didn’t seem to be a big debate when it was time from them to get a pay raise.  I am going to send a thank you email to my representatives for the $8 a week tax cut I will be getting, let’s see, that’s about $400 a year raise I will be getting and Congress just got a $4000 a year raise.  I hope each and everyone one who reads this will send an email thanking them for the great job they have been doing.

I think a message should be sent to them from us, the people, come the next election year, I think we should vote out the old and in with the new.  I know seniority counts but if we vote everyone out over the next 4 years, seniority won’t matter much will it.  I have emailed my congressman and senators a number of times and I have yet to hear from anyone.  I hope they were to busy reading the bill they just passed because they sure didn’t read it before passing.

Who knows, if the right person reads this, they might look into my taxes, well, it’s for sure I can’t owe as much as the people in the current administration or our congressman.  Even if I do, I guess it was an oversight because Turbo Tax didn’t ask me the right questions.

Well enough venting for now, Ya’ll have a nice day.
