What in the heck happened to our heritage? Our forefathers were pretty tough hombres. I believe that most of the people on this board are at least 1 to 3 generation of this country. They have forgotten from where they came from.
We as Americans can do anything. Right now, we need to get off ouf knees, & stand up. We are not cowards, either in bad economic times, or during a time of war.
The only thing that deters us is big Mama Federal government who is offering the legs,
The difference. Our forefathers never needed federal government legs they had their own.
When in the hell, we as Americans get so dammed lazy & irresponsible?
OK, the government did not pay for the Lewis and Clark expedition? The government did not pay for the $70,000,000 the Revolutionary war cost? The government did not fund the first trans-continental railroad? The BPA, or the First and Second World War? The Apollo Project?
Government is our way of doing together what we cannot do separately. And right now, none of us, individually, can prevent this economy from tanking even greater than it did in the last Great Republican Depression. Can the present government, and the people we elected to serve in it, succeed in preventing disaster? I don't know, we are pretty well done the slope and picking up speed.
But they are trying, not mouthing meanless platitudes about things totally irrelevant to the present situation.
Yeah--like that pig stink coming out of Iowa.
