The Storm

I don't like to write about negative topics, but they seems to be the only things happening these days.

We now are faced with crop damage to thousands of the nations most productive acres. Flooding along the mighty Mississippi has caused much damage. Tornadoes have swept thought our land and we are now heading into hurricane season.

High gas prices are about to bring the country to it's knees. The pain has been gradual, primarily due to credit cards and the economic stimulus package carrying the burden. Billions if not trillions of dollars turning into CO2 will cause many businesses to go out of business very soon.

To advert the Second Great Depression the US citizens need to make some drastic changes to their lifestyles. Get rid of the the gas guzzler as soon as it makes sense financially to do so. Don't eat out as much and buy groceries that will keep your family healthy. Start or keep working hard at your job to increase productivity, even if your pay is the same or lower.

The sad realty is that these things will be done by 5 maybe 10 percent of the population, but most citizens will continue down the same road. The scary part is that I think foreign investors are going to catch a fire sale pretty soon and we won't own our country anymore.
