Does that say it all?

(Reuters) - to paraphrase- just today stated donations for presidential candidates are streaming into the coffers of these presidential candidates at an unprecedented rate. They also stated many are from the businesses that are involved in the mortgage crisis.

Frankly in my opinion I do not think Americans know just what these politicians want to do, are doing and what it means to them. In fact in my opinion I don’t even think the majority who do vote care. That is as long as it doesn’t impact them. Yes, I’m talking to the haves and social dreamers not us average Americans who are at the edge and hanging on. Trying to make sure our children have a future and an education and can get a job which is decent, and good paying and offering a career. Oh by the way, how does security sound? Yes, America loves the Easter Bunny and all that it implies and this election it seems many are buying it more then ever.

Oh, can’t get that second mortgage or home equity anymore? There goes the education, the repairs, the renovations, the new car. How about eating out, the movies, a small vacation,  insurance? What about when unemployment runs out [and who could live off of that] and they have to go find work, jobs and not just any job but good paying jobs, stay here in America jobs? If average Americans don’t or can’t then would that be an impact, or are there enough haves to carry the load? Yes, we are talking about 15% of the nation and rising slowly slipping into not being able to do? As any Bean Counter would say, a manageable number. What happens when that number goes to 20% or higher? Like any good boss these days, "we’ll cross that bridge when we have to’. The only thing is you just may be half way across?

How about those high tech items, computers, iPods, equipment add-on’s, cable TV, Satellite radio all manufactured oversea’s? Will that impact them and the world market? How about Credit Card purchases, except for expenses like fuel, electric, gas, heating?  Once average Americans are shut down what kind of an impact is that going to have in every single cost area, including crime and social services? Ok, "we’ll cross that bridge when we have to’. Well with 31% in cards and up you just may be at the gate? The new future is in what I call the blood market. You can figure that one out.

The again what about employment as profits slide down? Do you think some of those part time $7.00, 20 hour a week type jobs will go first? How about the layoff’s and downsizing. Well just read the paper. They are laying off people off in other countries making $1.00 a day, so what does that say? That means retired who now are living off of that part time income will be impacted. People working two or three jobs, impacted. Can you think of anything else that might be impacted, especially banks and businesses? This has been going on already and it has been projected to increase dramatically this year. No not my opinion business and university leaders. Just what does that say to the total equation? Yes, "sorry it is for the good of the company, you can understand that, can’t you?" Sales are down, profits are down and we can’t have that now can we? More layoffs and more impacts. Yes, the cycle is endless.

Now people dislike someone who is pessimistic. No one wants to be a doomsayer but the facts do speak for themselves and raise valid concerns. In fact if many a so called leader even stopped to listen perhaps they really could change direction before it is too late. have you seen that in these leaders? No, who wants to be the first to tell the boss he screwed up? Yes, "I don’t care to hear that", we’re remaining positive" is the theme of the day. Yes, just like the sailor to captain on the Titanic, sir, there are no more life boats". Captain, hang in there, things will get better. Oh, by the way how well can you paddle water?

Sorry, Captains, without good jobs, stay here jobs there is no other answer for a real solution. [See my other articles] They have stripped the forest bare and are counting on Free Trade and business to be decent and help solve the problem they all created. Hear that Mr. Insurance Company, tell them why you can’t cut your premiums and you need that 42% increase when your profits went through the roof? We will all listen. Just ask Floridians, or their leaders.

Listen, listen, listen and then listen again and when you hear FREE TRADE in my opinion you should have your answers. You certainly will have your future. Yes, just learn from the past. Yes, in my opinion will they give us jobs, yes, only I ask them to live off of the jobs they will provide.

$6.79 and hour and they brag, 31% interest on credit cards and no shame or immorality, unfair trade agreements, billions and billions in profits, millions in wages for CEO’s and on and on and on and on and on and you are still voting for these types.

Oh, I forgot and I guess it is true, "Birds of a Feather" really do flock together"and as they say in the movie "you can’t fix stupid" and "that’s a fact Jack"! I happen to think in my opinion "money has only one allegiance and that is in making more money". After all, didn’t our President say "money always trumps peace". Rhetorically, I guess money is even more important then death?
