I seem to vividly recall all the experts saying that Wall Street was continuing to spiral down because our government hadn’t produced a bailout yet. This same statement was in the newspaper today. Funny thing is, this was the same headline several months ago right before the 
first huge and controversial bailout.
I seem to recall many experts and a few politicians who noted that you can’t fix a recession by throwing money on it (let alone money we don’t have). Here we are attempting to repeat the same failed experiment, and we haven’t even given the 1st bailout time to affect anything.
We are so impatient as a society it’s a wonder we don’t have more shootings while waiting for our food in a fast food drive through, hmmm, not fast enough… We need a few scientists in Congress and the House to note how doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is called insanity, and it’s definitely not logical.
Okay, I feel better now. Every so often watching our country ruin itself gets me a little upset.

I read today that the new stimulus package is up at $9.7 trillion–enough to pay off 90% of the mortgages in the United States. Oy.
I remember a few months ago that I was sitting at a traffic light. Right when the light turned green, someone honked at me to go. I chuckled…and hoped they wouldn’t run my car off the road.
