I'm too opininated NOT to blog about this!

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting really sick and tired of hearing all the whiners and politicians on the other side, blame our president for the economy’s current state. It’s not like it’s something he created and forced us all to use. It’s not something he came up with and signed into law. He didn’t create it…he can’t destroy it. He doesn’t cause it to be good or bad. He doesn’t make businesses to thrive or fail. A failing economy is NOT a problem for the president to fix. And to anyone out there who thinks it’s his responsibility to fix it or that it’s his problem that our economy is in such “turmoil” then I have one simple question—what do you expect him to do? If you think it’s all his fault, or all his responsibility, what do you think he should do about it? How do you think he can fix it?

Just like a failing economy isn’t the president’s problem to fix, neither is a failing business…no matter how much it’s worth, and no matter what market it’s in, it should never be “rescued” by the government. Let it fail like every other company out there. That's all part of business! When the leaders / owners / CEO’s of any given business / company devise a scheme that allows them to get more money (for themselves and for selfish, greedy reasons) by employing shady business practices or giving bad people bad loans, they’re screwing the very people that put their trust in them and helped really build the company in the first place--this means the people who work in the company (i.e. the ones that really do all the work while the CEO’s get fatter wallets) the people that purchase their goods, or use their products and services, every day people like you and I, and not to mention their very own stockholders. And this time, while their pocket books are getting fatter and fatter, their corporate spending goes through the roof, their houses increase in size (and in number) along with uber extravagant purchases simply “because they can,” their company is heading in a downward spiral that will soon cause it to fail as we’ve seen so often in the last few weeks (and there’s more to come!)

Ok, so now the government steps in and rescues these companies—now what? Now those same corporate fat cats get HUGE severance packages (literally millions of dollars) when they’re kicked out…WHY??? Why are literally MILLIONS of MY tax dollars going to someone that already has millions of dollars to begin with AND got their million by screwing companies and people out of their money in the first place? None of this makes sense! And yet it’s all the president’s fault??? I’m still waiting on someone to tell me why. Those corporate fatcats need to be held accountable! Don't let them off with a massive severance package equal to many times my LIFETIME income!

The sad part is that it’s something that will never change because “money is the root of all evil”—or so you think, right? It’s so funny how many people mis-quote that. The real saying is:

International Standard Version (©2008) 1st Timothy 6:10 says:
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.
