If I were betting on the buffalo or high paying union jobs coming back to the U.S. first, I’d give 5 to 1 on the buffalo.

 

Getting back to a little personal action, what are you going to do, wait or wander? I’m suggesting that wandering away from the crowd would make good sense about now. A good head start could make all the difference in the world.

 

Don’t get me wrong, you’ll have more company if you hang around with the gang who is going to wait and see what government is going to do about your personal predicament. And, when they do the same thing they have been doing for the last 60 years, which is make things worse, you will already have the crowd assembled to launch a “whine fest.”

 

Or, you could sell a bunch of junk. Reduce unnecessary debt. Dump the mini-mansion and Hummer. Look for employment in critical sectors of the economy (there will still be an economy), hang around with some other folks who have the same self-preservation ideals, and get happily on with the rest of your life.

 

The U.S. isn’t just going to pitch on its head and everyone isn’t going to die. Okay, maybe some the Wall Street Suits will jump out the windows but that would be a business opportunity. If you could pin point a time, ticket sales could be tremendous.

 

This whole thing boils down to personal responsibility, get out there and do something for yourself.

 

Wake up Middle America. The good book doesn’t really say “The Lord helps those that help themselves,” but I’m pretty sure that it warns, “The government helps themselves to those that will let them.”
