The choice words we may be using worldwide, in reference to the way the economy is impacting all of us, is not just slang -but down right cursing!  Forget proper etiquette!  Forget which candidate is promising what!  Forget “severance pay” and health care costs, and fuel cost, and that General Motors just laid off thousands of salaried people along with the highest unemployment rate in years…and the fact that a lot of Americans can hardly feed their families, much less the animals! Forget it! 

Which wars are we going to fight?!  The one in another country, while others are threatening?!  Fight the housing war?  The Fuel War?  The employment War? 

Sigh.  O.k. It’s time to start screaming that we are fed up and we are NOT going to take it anymore!  America does NOT get this bad economically, we were suppose to learn from the Great Depression!  Can we learn from a Recession?

Republicans and Democrats are fighting about who created this mess. As usual, hindsight serves no one.  The debates come off as a mere game of who can outdo the other, and really does not help us to see WHO is really qualified for what our country needs at this fearful time…regardless of party…who really cares WHICH party wins, as much as “who can get us straightend out again and WHOM can we really believe?”

A friend of mine called last night really depressed.  I asked her what I could do, and she said, “ask my sister to back off of the political wagon and her one-sided views…I’m sick of it all and what’s going on in our country and I’m really down about it.” 

I assured her that it will all turn around again.  This has happened before.  America WILL survive the economic hardships and threats from any other nations…because the heart and soul of AMERICA is just that…survival.  We have had good presidents, and we have had bad ones, but as flawed as the system seems to be at times, we still have to admit it works. But it takes more than the political powers, it takes ALL of us.

As a citizen and cheerleader of our country, I say let’s all get out our flags, remember the meaning of Independence Day, and wait patiently and frugally for things to get better.  Easy to say, hard to do… but remember, the higher power has the MOST power of any candidate, or living human being on earth.  Perhaps it is time for us to remember to vote for HIM and HIS power of influence and decision-making.   God, Please Bless America and All Nations.
