Holy Crap What is Happening to My Life part 10
CNN Special Report ,The Nations Power Grid can be shut down by hackers!!! Let's scare the crap out of the public and give the hackers encouragement to redouble their efforts. Oil has topped $130 a barrel and gasoline hits $4.00 a gallon and we haven't seen the end yet. Food bills are doubling. Milk is at $5.00 a gallon. Meat and poultry are soon to become out of reach for the older members of our society.
Those of us living on fixed incomes, some at or below the poverty level, are once again becoming the forgotten among us. The Economists tell us the bubble will break and things will come back down in price, just wait it out. Many of us are coming to the end of our ropes. It is almost impossible to put gas in the car to make it to our many doctor appointments. Do I buy groceries or gas?
We are upset over all of the jobs and businesses leaving our country. Now there is an advertisement on our TVs extolling the benefits of doing business in Malaysia. I sit here trying to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and here before me in Hi Def and living color is Jeffery Immelt trying to sell me on the idea how wonderful it would be to move my business to an Asian country! Who is Jeffery Immelt? That unamerican is none other than the Chairman and CEO of GE! That's right, General Electric. Kind of makes Fuzzy want to run out to the store and buy a light bulb. Damn. I feel proud having GE appliances in my house.
Fuzzy has great trepidation before reading today's local newspaper. Yesterday we voted on the school budget for the coming year. The new budget has a five million plus dollar increase. I would hope it didn't pass but then we always hear "its for the children". Will my taxes take a jump? Can I and others afford to keep our homes? All I hear on the news is endless blather on which candidate has the most votes for the nomination but they are not telling me that there is a plan somewhere to help put a lid on this runaway world.
We all need to help put on the breaks by controlling our budgets. Stop the extra spending that is fueling this runaway train.
