Restore the Faith in Economy

Spending some time in California during the holidays, I went to breakfast while my girlfriend went to work. I picked up the LA Times read in the business section, "Job One: Restore the faith in economy".

What does that really mean? What economy are they talking about? "Change is coming" vows Obama. What change? Are you being the average citizen really going to see the change in the next four years that he is president? Wait, lets ask a bigger question. Do you really notice the change that is made in Washington D.C.? How is the bail out helping you? How is it effecting your life? To me, as a average American I do not see the change, nor do I feel the effect in a positive way.

The bailout is helping some homeowners, where I do not know, for the people that I talk to, the bailout is not helping them, nor has it helped them. As a friend told me, "This bailout has helped me so much, that I felt it." I asked him what he meant by that. He continued and said that his house went delinquent due to loss of a job, and his wife's business being slow, that they were so "helped out" of their home. He then said that they should not call it a bailout but rather a shove out, for the money that is to help people went to the upper management in the companies that took risk and could not make a profit. Then those companies beg the government to help them.

How sad that the top executives gotten their bonuses and regular pay of high 6 digits, and I got the notice to move or have my stuff set on the street so everyone can come and pick through it.

Personal finances of the average person has already been through the wringer, not once but many of times. We are being forced to pay higher prices for things we need like fuel, groceries and such, while our salaries have not changed. When they do change for the average person, what we receive in a pay increase, does not even come close to the cost of living increase.

What we need to do is to take control of our economy and our situations. We need to make our Congress and Senate start and continue fighting for us. With that in mind I know it will not happen. WHY? For the excuses people have. I don't have time, they wont listen to me, I don't know where to start, and the excuses continue. This is all an excuse, and you know the funny thing is? They are all worthless and pathetic, just as we are for not making our representatives fight for what we want in D.C.

We as Americans have elected a new president who during his whole run for the office, talked about time for a change. I have to agree with him. So how are we going to do this? Sit down and pick something that you are very strong about wanting to see be changed. Talk to others and find out who has the same feelings about the thing you want to see changed. When you tell people about it, word will get out. You will find that more and more people want to see the same thing change. Now it don't stop there. You have to research and find out who is the best person to speak to about changing this. Have everyone who wants to see the change do a task and what would seem to be impossible will now become a small task for all of you if you work together. Talk to not only the group of people that want to see the change but also the people who have the power to change it.

It is time you take action! Quit sitting here complaining about a problem when you will do nothing to change it. The problem will continue to stay there. Take action like our new president is going to have to do. Make not only yourself but other responsible for what they said they will do. If you work on this project together and do not back down you will see that it may not get changed overnight, but in time and with determination, it will change.
