A Short message from an Auto Worker with 6 Kids
I have six children, so I am not unfamiliar with the concept of wanting
someone to bail you out of a mess that you have gotten yourself into. My
children do this on a weekly, if not daily basis, as I did at their age. I
do for them what my parents did for me (one of their greatest gifts, by the
way). I make them stand on their own two feet and accept the consequences of
their actions and work them through.
Radical concept, huh?
Am I there for them in the wings? Of course but only until such time as they
need to be fully on their own as adults
I don't want to oversimplify a complex situation, but there certainly are
unmistakable parallels here between the proper role of parenting and
government.
Detroit and the United States need to pay for their sins.
Bad news people, it's coming whether we like it or not.
The newly elected Messiah really doesn't have a magic wand big enough to
"make it all go away." I laughed as I heard Obama "reeling it back in" almost
immediately after the vote count was tallied, "we might not do it in a year
or in four"! Where was that kind of talk when he was RUNNING for the office??
Stop trying to put off the inevitable!
That house in Florida really isn't worth $750,000!
People who jump across a border really don't deserve free health care
benefits!
That job driving that forklift for the big 3 really isn't worth $85,000 a
year!
That couple whose combined income is less than $50,000 really shouldn't be
living in that $485,000 home!
Let the market correct itself people, it will. Yes it will be painful, but
it's gonna be painful either way, and the bright side of my proposal is that
on the other side of it is a nation that appreciates what is has and doesn't
live beyond its means and gets back to basics and redevelops the work ethic
that made it the greatest nation in the history of the world and probably
turns back to God.
Sorry, don't cut my head off. I'm just the messenger sharing with you the
"bad news."
