Not Happy

Congress is once again meeting and discussing.Talkie talking.All the while our combined wealth is destroyed day after day.The trend was to liquidate pension plans and let the IRA and the 401(k) be the vehicle to retirement land.Bull crap.People aren't capable of managing their own finances.Not because THEY are incompetent, no, not at all.The irresponsible actions going on board rooms and amongst boards of directors in MANY MANY companies coupled with the US governments incredibly slow and pathetic attempts to redirect credit shortages have brought us down.There is another matter to consider, and that is collusion and hoarding.Commodity prices spiked worldwide, due in large to consolidation worldwide in mining and petroleum/petroleum services industries.I believe the commodity bubble in copper and metals was due to China buying all the copper they could import, there by tipping the market in an attempt to control prices.This failed as Phelps Dodge/Freeport McMoran and like mining companies consolidated dropping the total number of miners to buy from.China cant control the market if there are only 2 suppliers.The knee jerk response to 5.00 per gal gas was to use ethanol.A Bush administration that failed, as many before have, to construct ANY type of energy policy ,came out on TV and spouted all sort of crap about how efficient Brazil is in its energy Independence, and how corn based ethanol is the key to the future.Oh, we didn't think this out.We EAT F@#$ING CORN PEOPLE.Jesus, if we found out chickens could make airplanes fly, we wouldn't stop eating them.We would starve to death so that American Airlines could live.Not me, screw American Air.I have seen THOUSANDS of dollars I busted my ass to earn disappear because of poor government policy (tar and feather them) , irrational trading on wall street (Valiums distributed at the doors of the exchanges), greed (CEO's, scratch that,any executive of a public company earning more than any 5 employees salaries combined make to much money,tar and feather) ,greed II, the sequel( lending money to anyone who could fog a mirror) and lastly, a war in the middle east that our leaders had no plan on winning.Not like popular notions like they didn't have an exit strategy, like I mean they didn't want to win.The military sucking up oil and destroying equipment keeps the oil barons cashed up, the defense contractors fat and happy (were I earn a portion of my money), the body bags flying, and American and European AND Asian companies cooking whilst they build a bridge, the enemy tears it down, we build the bridge , the enemy tears it down, and so forth.A simple and completely partially informed opinion, but mine none the less. The government is considering bridge loans and financing for the auto industry.What the hell are they thinking about.Fork over the cash bitches.It was industry in this part of the country that built the equipment to win WW 2.It was transportation and the ability to move goods fast across this country, that enabled us to grow.If the Big 3 fail, someone tell me whats the diff if I get the equivalent of a government subsidy in the form of bridge loans to help auto makers and all the suppliers and workers down stream,like me, or I lose my job and draw unemployment benefits and then welfare because industry is gone.I see the diff as such : SUBSIDY=I WORK AND PRODUCE SOMETHING FOR MY MONEY or WELFARE=I MAKE NOTHING,AND PASS BURDEN ON TO OTHERS.

IAM SO SICK OF BEING HELD FINANCIALLY CAPTIVE BY THE AUTO INDUSTRY I COULD PUKE. I HAVE RETRAINED,I HAVE ADVANCED SKILLS AND EDUCATION.I WANT TO LIVE HERE, AND ITS HOW WE MAKE MONEY HERE.

IAM SO SICK OF BEING HELD CAPTIVE BY THE AUTO INDUSTRY,PAY UP YOU BASTARDS...i hate you, you pay better than average, destroy my body for profit, then cut us off and refuse to take care of us after we are used up. I hate you.

I have the answer though.There isn't a situation invented I cant handle or come to terms with.
