The Friday Report
Well folks it is Friday again, cripes it seems like 7 days ago I was just here. Not much has changed since last Friday, gas is still climbing, the housing market is falling, recession is nipping at our heels, and shrub is dumb as ever.
Word has it that if we leave Iraq we will be inviting more trouble from the terrorists and look bad to the rest of the world. Well kiss my grits, how can we look worse than we already do to the world. As for more trouble from the bad guys, the commies didn't take over the world because we pulled out of Vietnam, and the terrorists won't win because we leave Iraq. Our men and women who have fought this war didn't do it in vain, they did what the government asked them to do, and they should be proud of that. It is the government and the leaders who let them down. We fought for our freedom when this country was formed, so can the people over there. They do have choices also, if they choose not to take them, too damned bad.
Remember the 365 tons of money the government sent there, and they don't know where it went, 12 billion dollars. I would be willing to bet most of that is funding the bad guys efforts against us. Nice huh? And no one gives a shit, we sit here on our asses, including the politicians, and don't keep asking where the money went. 365 tons is lots of money, and I bet hard to lose track of, but someone did. That amount would fill a good size warehouse. Even if they paid informants 25 million apiece, that wouldn't put a dent in the pile. And that was our money folks!
Now to home! Gas prices don't just affect our wallet at the pump, it affects everything else also, groceries go up, houses go up, we buy less, companies lay people off, all prices rise. If you read the news today, oil company profits are climbing again! This won't lead to a recession folks, if not dealt with soon, depression is certainly possible. Listen folks, my college degree is in economics, and I say the government and top economists are covering up the problem, minimizing it.
Just the other day, I read what an economist had to say about job loss. We lost millions of jobs to other countries, but says this nut, we gained them back in service jobs, like flipping burgers, tourism etc.. Now let me see, we lose 25 dollar an hour jobs, for 6 dollar an hour jobs, mmmmm let me see, yeah we got a steal on the jobs OK.
And look at the cost of health care, I had a stent put in in Feb., an over night stay, $29,000 worth for less than 24 hours, and that didn't include the doctor.
Well I better fold up shop for now, good night folks- Peace bros and sisters.

Yup, yup, yup, i picked a really bad time to refinance, huh?
Well let's see... minimum wage is 5.15 & has been for a mighty long time. Milk has gone from 2 something a gallon to over 4.50 a gallon, minimum wage is still 5.15. Hmmm...gas was under a buck & now it's 3 bucks, but yup, minimum wage is still 5.15.
I'd like to do away with all phone service because the only folks that call are collectors, but I have to have the phone service in order to keep the DSl service, which allows me to escape a little bit.
Like everything else in life, it's a big circle.
