All Saints Day and Election Eve

Tomorrow we begin to take our country back. Tomorrow we vote. Out with the old and, hopefully, in with the new. New attitudes, new behaviors and new beginnings.

We need to get our spending under control.

We need total transparency in government.

We need to bring the dollar back.

We need to start the long haul back to where we made the wrong turn that has brought us to the brink of self-annihilation.

America grew in financial stature back in the early twentieth century because we made a large majority of the worlds goods, and the world's population sent their money to us to buy them. This trend continued into the end of the WW II and into the sixties when we were making up to 60% of all the goods sold in the world. The goods made in other countries were, by and large, inferior to what was being produced in the United States.

Then, while other countries were figuring out how to make their goods better, faster and cheaper, we were tripping merrily down the same old path. People who had no other skill that turning a single bolt were demanding a skilled labor wage. And getting it. The cost of our goods went up. We went through several financial difficulties as people kept trying to live beyond their means. Both Americans and our government.

Then, businesses realized that they were starting to lose out to cheaper and increasingly better made goods from over-seas. Businesses are in business to make money. And so they took steps to maximize their profits, the same as their workers were trying to do at the same time. The Unions led the charge into driving our jobs off shore.

People don't seem to understand that there is a fixed amount of money in the world. As we send our jobs over seas, so goes our money. We need to stop printing money. We need to start living within our means. America needs to tighten its belt, pay off our debts, and once again support ourselves. Get the people who are here illegally back to their own countries and put Americans back to work. Make all wages reasonable to the job. If you are living within your means and employers can pay a bit less then prices will come down. It takes massive self control, it won't be easy, but it can be done!

People try to blame this on Banks and Wall Street. You want to bring them under control? Stop borrowing money. Spend no more than you make. Carry no debt.

It all starts today. Make the changes necessary to turn your life around and get it under control.

Then, tomorrow - we take our country back. We vote. And we need to make it clear that we are going to hold our elected politicians accountable for acting in our best interest. For keeping our freedoms free. Although I would like to see the media regulated to reporting the facts. No more editorial channels and back to the news. But that's a different story for a different day.

Tomorrow.

Vote.
