Ahhhhhh....the weekend.....and I am working.

  Hello everybody,

  I am just going to do a light post today.....yesterday's post took a lot out of me....seeing all those job openings up for grabs and those Representatives and Senators that have been making an honest buck on a salary of $174,000 a year. 

  Presidential hopefuls ( except me ), parade around touting "CHANGE", which in retrospect will only occur when WE make it happen.  I have mentioned some bills in Congress that have failed, or been slightly controversial.  The fact that Congress needs a LAW to prevent them from short selling stock they own or from engaging in insider trading should have raised more than a few eyebrows.  It doesn't really matter now, since the measure failed to garner enough votes to pass, and the American public has been sitting complacent.  Can't blame Joe Schmo*, because news of this ( Stock Act of 2011 ) rarely made it into print and was rarely, if ever, talked about on National Television. 

  I will say it again....and again.  We need to become pro-active to be more reactive.  If we had known about the Stock Act of 2011 in January of that year....maybe we could have petitioned Congress to ensure the measure passed....or petitioned the President to create an Executive Order...in effect, ordering Congress to not engage in that illegal activity or face IMPEACHMENT, FINES or any number of things....but alas, we didn't know.

  Our current president has created more than 100 Executive Orders since he was sworn in in 2008...and amazingly, none of them rein in Congress and their "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to LAWS WE MUST FOLLOW, and LAWS THEY COULD FOLLOW, IF THEY WANTED.


Have a great weekend everyone.....
