Feeling Depressed?

Man, I can't take the gas price increases anymore. It'd be nice to have $2 Gas again, and I can't believe I'm saying that. This week it cost me $84 to fill up my truck. That'll last a week and I'll have to do it again. Now do the math for a month...it's getting tight.

Tom Feeney sent me this e-mail today to put things into perspective, and it sent chills down my spine. He wrote,

"A market bubble is created by easy-money policy and speculative investment followed by a collapse in market values. Our economy teeters on recession. Politicians reward big labor with new powers at the workplace. Large government programs are proposed to create taxpayer-funded jobs. Entitlement programs for seniors and the poor are initiated. Temporary "stimulus" packages are passed to placate seniors, farm workers, unions and the unemployed. Presidential candidates and congressional leaders attack free trade, vow to instate an estate tax on the rich and increase taxes on corporations, individual taxpayers and stockholders. Foreign countries' economies grow at accelerated rates while American jobs disappear. Regulations are imposed to crack down on Wall Street, while state and federal governments bring lawsuits against demonized corporations for various offenses. Private companies are more heavily regulated to "protect" the public. Next, the Democratic governor of New York condemns the "increasing concentration of wealth and power." Outcries against excessive executive salaries on Wall Street become widespread."

He hits it right on the head. Sure sounds like we're in trouble, but he's not writing about 2008. This was a history e-mail for me. It refers to 1929-1935...The Great Depression!! GASP!! Both parties are selling us out and we the people are going to get hurt.

Be sure to VOTE for the right person (not party) this year.

See you in Church this Sunday!
