However, I have to first respond to several comments made nationally by our elected leadership and their spokesperson. I would hope you will take this week’s posts and spread the word that it is time our politicians stop running for office and do their job --- they are watching the economy continue to spiral out of control and they don’t think we understand!!
Jay Carney said at the recent briefing:
"Most people do not sit around the kitchen table and analyze GDP and unemployment numbers," Carney said. "They talk about how they feel, their own economic situation ... whether they're making their house payments."
Did you know that Jay Carney graduated from Yale in 1987?
So he just entered the work force the last time we had a significant recession. The 2001 recession was mild in comparison. This is my fourth recession (I don’t count the 2001 recession) and I can tell you, He DOESN’T have a clue how this great recession is impacting US!
He has never experienced tough times since entering the workforce!!!!! And he is now telling us how ……….
His arrogance and his view of US are appalling and insulting. I remember back in the Carter days and we were on the edge of our seats every day to find out if the Fed would change their policies and bring down interests rates. And we didn’t have 24/7 news and the internet! We moved to Miami during that time and bought a home with an 18.5% interest rate. Of course, refinancing was important.
Today, we are again on the edge of our seats waiting for a leader to lead and turn this country around. Of course the unemployment rate and the downward trend of our GDP are important to US. We DO pay attention to the trends and we do talk about our national circumstances. Shame on you Jay Carney for imposing your Ivy League perspective on us but then again, that is all we get from Washington DC politicians!
Regardless of political affiliation, we must start now if we want to our change our future at the ballot box.
Not to Act -- Is to Act
