The Quagmire of Ignorance

There are a lot of things in life that just are not right. The direction our City, State and Country are taking being no exception.

Unemployment is at an all time high, highest in the City of Waterbury amongst all other cities and towns in Connecticut, all things being equal. People are out of work, out of money and out of options.

Meanwhile, we have a Tsunami of idiots governing our future, with hardly some if any even having a clue on how to solve the current Financial Crisis that has no apparent end in site.

The problem has been fostered for years, and it is one so many people have grown accustomed to: Living outside of ones means.

You see there is a fundamental economic basis for each and everyone of us to follow: Spend what you make, not what you hope to make.

But thats not the logical way for our elected leaders to govern. Their dangerous and careless tax and spend leadership has brought us to our knees. And if you do not think things are bad you are only kidding yourself. If you think things are getting better, or will be better in the future, you are hoping for something that is not and never can be until something changes.

My experience has taught me that you can not live off of borrowing and not expect to pay the price. Yes, I have suffered and made the same mistakes as everyone else. There was a time where I chose to live outside of my means and be something I was not. Now the consequences to these choices are long work hours, a lower standard of living and sleepless nights brought on by worry and pre-occupation with making ends meet.

It is improbable that the Real Estate Market will return anytime soon to what it was. As a result, I like many of you are trapped in over leveraged notes on properties that can not possibly support their debt.

Simply put there is not enough money to go around. Unless and until We the People realize that Government is not the answer but rather the problem, reform the way government operates and learn to just say no; the quagmire we call life will only continue to expand the slavery of debt we all face.

Although I sympathize with those that want to "help" our brothers and sisters throughout the world and throughout the lower economic status we must learn to say "Too Bad" . We can neither afford it nor afford to continue this fantasy of self required righteousness we all seem to support.

Each and every person in the Country that can needs to return to work and stop their dependence on the government. Until we turn to the principles of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, we will continue to suffer a great oppression that only has ignorance as its greater enemy.
