The government is just mortgaging our children and grandchildren's future by printing money as fast as they can. This money is then backed by loans from countries like China who have woes of their own. The buck has to stop sooner or later and woe be unto the people that are stuck with the bill.
If everyone buys American when possible, things will begin to turn around. You might pay a little more at first, but that small increase will be invested into a company that might be paying a higher wage to its workers instead of outsourcing the work to countries like India and China. In turn, that company's success will guarantee the continued employment of the worker who otherwise might be unemployed. This employee, in turn, will go out into the market place and purchase goods and services which will make the economy strong for all. Think about it!
The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to my pal Robin for her contributions to today's stories.
A Mexican, an Iraqi, and a Texas girl are in the same bar. When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Mexico, our glasses are so cheap, we don't need to drink with the same glass twice."
Ahmed, the Iraqi, is so impressed by this that he tosses his glass in the air, pulls out his AK-47 and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In Iraq, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't have to drink from the same glass either."
The Texas girl picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, pulls out her 45 and shoots the Mexican and the Iraqi. She catches her beer in mid-air, sets it on the bar, orders a refill and says, "In Texas, we have so many illegal aliens, that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice!"
Amazing statistics about the recent presidential inauguration is that 1.5 million people attended the ceremonies and only 1,000 people missed work. As the few attendees that pay federal income taxes prepared their 2008 federal tax returns, one in particular included the following letter: Out of a sense of patriotic duty, and to assist in the political purification of our government, I am also enclosing a 15 inch Phillips head screw driver, for which HUD duly recorded and approved a purchase value of $2200, as my contribution to fulfill the Presidential Election Fund option on Form 1040. It has been a pleasure to pay my taxes this year and I look forward to paying them again next year in accordance with officially established government values. Another satisfied American taxpayer. That's it for today my little overtaxed and underpaid pals. Have a great and safe weekend and more on Monday. Stay Tuned !
Enclosed is my 2008 Form 1040, together with payment. Please take note of the attached article from "USA Today" archives. In the article, you will note that the Pentagon paid $171.50 each for hammers and NASA paid $600.00 each for toilet seats. Please find enclosed in this package four toilet seats (value $2,400.00) and six hammers (value $1,029.00). This is in payment for my total tax due of $3,429.00.
We just ousted 2 corrupt judges here in luzerne county , wilkes - barre pa.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the corruption is a never ending job in politics!
Jimmy is it true that there'll be 3d ads during half time?
I want Jimmy Sullivan for President!
ReplyDeleteWho out there agrees with me?
Hugs, Rose
I agree with you about buying American products, but most of the time 'American' products have parts in them that are not American. I also agree with Rose, if we make you president, will you make 'American products,'American'?
ReplyDeleteLOL Enjoy your trip to Area 51!!!
Hi Jimmy,
ReplyDeleteYour post was so true and accurate!
I remember working for AMC [and latter Chrysler] in the 1970's when the Japanese dumped/ flooded our country with cars, etc that hurt our working class pocket books. I expect the general American population to riot before Obama's term is over, and that is why the Gov't is building all those 'Concentration Camps' now in the U.S.

I love a man who is not afraid to speak the truth. I heard in the news that 48% of the people in Detroit were functionally illiterate
ReplyDeleteand they all voted. One guess who for. Stimulus package? Payoffs if you ask me.
I see the vodka bottle on the left. Do try Diamond Standard vodka. Very smooth. I'm skipping around finding all different blogs from the past AOL community.
ReplyDeleteDon't be shy, Jimmy. Tell us how you feel ;-0. I have nothing against Obama, in fact I think he is TRYING, but some of it is implausible, and some of his SUPER followers will find that he said A at times knowing he'd have to do D, just like all Pols.

I couldn't agree more on the BUY AMERICAN. They just don't seem to get it that there are no jobs because everything we buy is manufactured in China. (DUH..c'mon Obama, you have to be able to see that!) I am a small business owner and trying to keep our manufacturing here in the states has been a battle. Sooo...I wonder what I have to do to get MY business stimulated!!
ReplyDeleteHello, please everyone with State Farm, call and advise you will not continue do any type of business with them if they pull our homeowners. I would encourage do not call the # on nice letter we got, my call your agent, that is who will losing money personally if all pull our policies. This might get their attn. Jeannie
ReplyDeleteI agree about buying American. Recently John and I went together on the cost of a product in a catalog. we were surprised when it came to find it was made in Taiwan. Fed Ex came to retrieve it yesterday. It was a lot of trouble to send it back but we did and I'm glad. Have fun at Area 51 tonight.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas Jimmy! :) Happy Birthday to your Tania! :) Julie
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. I'm glad you took Mary's advice and aren't shy about speaking out. I saw Blagojevich on all the morning talk shows the other day, maintaining his innocence. Barbara Walters really nailed him...as she kept asking him "did you offer the Senate seat to the highest bidder" all he kept saying was that those statements were taken out of context and the Illinois Senate wouldn't allow him to bring in witnesses to help him prove his innocence. He & his lovey wife are total foul mouthed jerks. Hey I think he deserves the coveted C.A.T. award.
ReplyDeleteHave a marvy weekend...Linda in WA P.S. I didn't read Possum's Blog entry but Gabi did.
wowee
ReplyDeleteJImmy I am hoping that the bipartisan group will look more closely at jobs for the immediate future like FDR did..what happened to following FDR?I appreciated your thumbs up to him!'
Hey what about those Steelers? did you watch> the Cardinals should have won acc. my teen,huh
what does Possum make of all of this?
hugs
natalie
I agree about buying American products. Nothing irritates me more than calling AOL or Verizon and getting a foreigner on the line. That could be one of our own earning their income you know?
