Matt’s Blog of Truth

Obama is in. He is looked apon as our ‘great savior’, to most. To others, he is quite literally, ‘The Anti-Christ’, with these views shared with southern ‘rednecks’ and deep Christian Americans. Either way you look at it, the U.S. is in deep, deep s**t.

The situation, as posted in my previous blog post, explaining Why the US ecomony has failed, is now playing out deeping, as I watch C-SPAN.

Yes, I actually watch C-SPAN. How depressing the situation is. I live in Washington state, so my C-SPAN airs Washington State House debate. Debates about what to do with all of this influx of Federal Funding.

I can say, I am scared. Even some House Reps agree, the situation is dire, and frankly, scary. I am no politian. I am a programmer of computer code, and a Net Marketer. But, no matter how much I try to NOT venture in conversations that I ought not care about, I do. The problem this brings to me is nothing short of depression.

I am a connector of the bits and pieces of knowledge. I read and I remember what I read, and watch and hear and feel. I remember to a depth, that it burdens me to see, specifically, how all this money the U.S. is borrowing from China is now being distributed to all the US states.

Go ahead, you only have to watch for an hour or so to get a clear picture of the situation.

One conclusion is clear to me.

BIG GOVERNMENT is will be with Americans for a long time. It has to be there, because private sectors have squandered the Housing Market, which happens to be the largest market of them all.

Can the U.S. legislature, from House Representatives, Govenors, Mayors all the way down to city planners and your CEO and Boss make a difference? It appears to me that the system is so damn complex, it is near mind numbing. We all know how long it is taking the government to pass simple laws about the Internet about spam, as an example.

It took the CAN-SPAM Act, nearly 8 years to get to where it is. And where it is, is that it does not stop spam and in fact encourages it. OptOut ( not Optin ) anyone?

You know what? Forget it. I did not cause this mess. In fact, I have a mortgage and I pay taxes.

We may well all be screwed.

Or will China bear the burden? Maybe, the U.S. is just scaring China into lending the U.S. the 1 trillion+ because China imports and exports heavily to the United States.

The economy has seen bubble after bubble, recession after recession. But, this one is global and deeply felt. It’s ‘the big one’, as in a huge quake.

Have we learned our lesson? Probably not.
