Nearly a year

of 2009 gone already. The big topic these days is the economy. Obama's stimulus package seems big on rebuilding roads, bridges, all sorts of infrastructure and the jobs this will create. I have been wondering where the Wall Street bankers that have been laid off, will fit into this program. Somehow I can't visualize those people painting bridges, working on the roads or rebuilding water mains. Time will tell, if the Congress even OKs the money. The stock market is up today so some people must have hope.
The winter has been brutal here in the midwest. Lots of snow and cold and quite a lot of winter season left to go. Why does anyone live in this place?
I can't ever remember hearing so much advice about how to economize and save money. All of this should have been done years ago. Instead we were sold the idea of bigger and better everything, and told to use credit cards and to borrow the money on home equity loans or what ever to do it. I guess it was fun while it lasted, but some day the piper must be paid.

If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.
