Well first day at any blog. Writing any blog that is. I could write about politics but the more I think I know the stupider I actually am. We are in the midst of some really bad times and the government seems more interested in campaigning than fixing anything.
I am looking into refinancing my barely above water mortgage but the TARP money never trickled down to the local banks.
It seems the people who have all the answers, or think they do, ie the pundits and academic types do not have the power to do the things they want.
And the president claims to be held back by Congress. Could he actually affect any change if we did away with Congress, and if so would he? It's hard to tell.
But hey, I found a cheaper place to buy groceries (why ARE grocery prices rising in this economy?) and found that my kids love mac & cheese so we can substitute that for meat and potatoes to cover the doubling of our prescription costs (another thing rising besides wages)
But even though I have dental work I need and cannot afford, debt up the yahoo, home maintainence plan that includes fix only those things that have completely broken, I will rest assured this country is indeed deep into recovery because the Wall St people are making profits, and the richest of them and the richest of the richest in our country will not have to suffer with a horrible tax increase. Lord forbid they have to do without a yacht or two.
But on the bright side, I always wanted to live in the tropics and global warming has made Wisconsin practically a greenhouse this year. My garden is doing great.
Time to go to bed and wake up in a better mood.
