01/20/09 to 07/20/09


This cartoon gave me a chuckle because it's seems so true. Not a day passes without the newspaper or TV news having a commentary on how the economic recovery is progressing too slowly--or not working at all.

Well, it has only been six short months since the current administration took office. How spoiled and naive are we to think that the economic crisis would be over in a matter of months? No quick fix is going to get us out of this mess. I think it will be years before real estate values increase to former levels. Of course, that's just an uneducated opinion and I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

In the meantime, we just have to keep our chin up and eat more broccoli.

I hear what you are saying Mom. Some are so quick to condemn, but drag things out when it suits them. Thats what I hate about politics.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the problems of before become the fault of the current.

Personally, I think the economic recovery would have had more steam had we just let the big financial institutions go under, instead of bailing them out. For one thing, there would be greater incentive on the part of those best able to help.
