Good eats

I would like to know some favorite foods people have. Since it is past my lunch time and I am feeling a tad hungry I want to know what everyone likes to eat on a brisk Autumn day? Me personally I still like getting out and grilling bratwurst with baked beans and corn, or maybe kabobs. Anyone else?

More about the Bailout plan

Well once again I will talk about the Bailout plan. It seems that what I see as a plan that will hurt and help people is getting tweaked in Washington over the weekend, since our two party political system can never agree on whats better for their agendas. As you see I did not say "whats better for the people" since the actual people that need help get ignored, you know, those people who lost work and can't afford to keep their children in a house! Maybe there might be just one person in congress saying hey we should give this money back to the people, to help the economy the lowest rungs of the classes have to spend money that is not linked to a loan.
If the lenders get this bailout I fail to see how it will help those people who can fix this economy. Sure lenders can be free to hand out more loans, and mortgages, but that does not fix the problem but adds a band aid to a wound that needs stitches. Somewhere someone has to see that the fix has to come from the bottom up instead of the top down.

The Bail

Well the time has come for lenders to receive taxpayer money to end the recession, they will get billions of dollars and the thought is they will start issuing credit again. But my thinking is that the money should go to the people losing their homes to pay the mortgage, to help reset their debt. I mean think about it people lose their job or take pay cuts, the people who find new jobs get less pay, now how are they supposed to afford all that they have after that? They have car payments, mortgages, insurance plus a family and getting more credit does not help them, it will only make it worse.
The plan only seems to be aimed to help companies that made really bad choices, while Americans made bad choices but did not choose to get pay cuts or lose their job! The money should go to the people so they can start over not a greedy institution that choose to foreclose on a home instead of working with home owner and making them homeless. So I feel Americans are footing the bill of this bail out and in return will get no relief from it! It will not bring back in jobs, or earned money but like the commander and chief said there will be credit being issued again. So feel free to get more loans to put yourself in further debt in other words.

Back at it

I took some time off to attend my college and focus on that for awhile, I had some amazing school activity's to attend while their. One thing I noticed while attending these functions is the amount of activism, political agendas, and of course what is a college function without the military.
As you walk through rows of people pushing ideas, you wonder if this is all college is all about, it is almost like a bad role playing game. Are you playing the part of activist? Maybe a military recruit, or a normal person with mixed beliefs and feelings. Each role comes with many other options of sub categories, the numbers are endless just like the ideas people believe are right.
What ever happen to just going to college to study and not being forced to conform to one of the ideas? Even teachers use college to push an agenda and just like with the people at the functions if you happen to disagree with them you are put in a bad spot.
I'll have more on this later on when more time comes my way to write, I ask anyone who reads this to share their thoughts and ideas, or maybe an experience.
