I was born in the middle of the last great depression...people didn't have much back in those 'olden days' so they were pretty grateful for what they did have or, at least, that's the way it seems t'me...also, it seems that when people didn't have much, they were somehow more willing to share whatever good fortune came their way...Holiday pleasures were simpler 'n all the sweeter for the sharing....
We are in the midst of another great depression 'n circumstances are eerily similar...politicians play the blame game, pointing fingers 'n denying culpability...'n every day seems to bring another voice claiming that the economy is on the upswing..."Prosperity is just around the corner!" What I've been looking for from Hollywood is remakes of those old depression era feel-good movies but so far, no luck...
I get frustrated with the direction my government seems to be going 'n so ocassionally, I vent...'n for friends 'n relatives that put up with me whether or not they agree, I'm thankful...
The Obama Healthcare nonsense is back in the nooze again 'n for all those people that talk about how much better the Canadian healthcare system is.....well, this's for them....

Do you remember that I told you that I would tell you a little about the US? Today is a good day for me.
If you have been following the saga in US politics you may know that a great number of Americans are very concerned about their liberty, about the economy and the security. America may change forever.
Since, the Obama administration took power, the debt rose to alarming levels which will probably affect the US for many years to come. The White House is dreaming of raising tax to get the rich to pay for the poor. Don't expect that money to go to the poor, it will just go to more government programs which are expanding considerably. This expensive entitlement mania is bad news, it almost ruined Canada and Europe is on the verge of collapsing, they say.
Americans will also be FORCED to buy health insurance unless they can revoke the new law which contains more intrigues than any soap opera can offer. Medical costs are expected to climb substantially and the services to go down. I fear for the medical research.
Mr. Obama and the extreme left of his party are as well trying to orchestrate a class war. They want to get the middle class against employers and rich people who support a huge part of the economy. Obama has also been using the race card to gain popularity with his base and to divide his beautiful nation. It almost worked.
This narcissistic adolescent may not be drinking whiskey, but he is driving a big car very irresponsibly. We could all end up paying for his follies if he does not smarten up. Diane Carriere
