These are maddening times. Political egos are fragile, the election is approaching, and the economy is shot. We are forced to do more things with less resources. At the beginning of the war in Iraq, the president told us all we would have to tighten our belts. Since then, there have been tax cuts for the wealthy, more stress for the less fortunate. Sen. McCain pulled a smart move by naming Alaska's female governor as his running mate. Hey, she is ultra conservative, practically unkown and a potential salve for the wounded Hillary Clinton supporters who would like another alternative, besides Obama.
Okay, because of the Hurricane Gustav, the Republican Convention has been delayed a tad. There must be some distance, (if only in appearance), from the present administration. Remember, it took Bush a long time to react to the plight of Katrina. So many issues still remain unresolved and here comes another disaster.
I have been looking at other economic flags. Credit card fees are rising, it is hard as hell to get a loan. Foreclosures are still rising, gas prices are astronomical, and more companies are send their production factories out of the country. Even Hershey's Chocolate has begun the process of moving their production to Mexico. In the name of profit, a lot of Americans will be out of work and no one cares.
Well, strap in everyone...we have a rough ride ahead.
