I wrote a few weeks ago that regardless of which one of the current three presidential candidates wins, it won’t make a hill of beans to Middle America. When it comes to viable economics, the three not only don’t know much, they don’t even suspect anything.
Ron Paul was a truth teller first and foremost. That is why I supported him. But, he asked Americans to make meaningful change in order to have any hope of restoring our economy. That was a mistake on his part and therein he was deemed a kook of sorts. Like, “If you think I’m changing my habits, you’re crazy. John, Hillary and Barrack said I didn’t need to, all I have to do is vote and wait, no other action necessary.” I get a tear in my eye just thinking about it.
It occurred to me that I know exactly how Ron Paul feels about now. Two years ago when I was writing the first draft of my book, “The Biggest Lie Ever Believed,” I predicted that housing would do exactly what it did, oil would do exactly what it has done, that the banks would do exactly what has occurred; and people looked at me like my hair was on fire. Today they call and ask me what’s going to happen next. Ron Paul will get lot smarter as time passes.
For all of you who are willing to adopt the wait-and-see attitude for substantive change to be unleashed in 2009, you won’t be disappointed; things will definitely get a whole lot worse. And technically, getting worse is a change.
As for me and mine, we’re going to go out and look for our own firewood rather than waiting for the government wood chopper; I feel a definite chill in the air.
So how long will this mess take to turn around? That depends on when you start turning it around. Oh, you mean when will our government turn this thing around? They already did, it used to work and now it doesn’t. That’s a definite turnaround.
When Mr. William Jefferson Clinton put pen to paper on both NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and the WTO (World Trade Agreement) he gave the other people in the world permission to do your job for less money and they took him serious.
If you don’t think we live in a strange place, we now have some union leaders backing Mrs. Clinton. That should be a subject suitable for Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Note that I said, “Union Leaders,” and not union workers, the leaders get to ride on Mrs. Clinton’s jet.
