JD, I was writing pretty much what you said.
G I am just saying the direction we are headed is socialist. And your brother is right. So if that is true and things are going up, why is the economy bad? Are we being fed a line of crap to make this happen?
I don't know anymore. I believe what I am seeing and that is people are spending. None of the stimulus has helped me or anyone I know personally in anyway. So where is the money going? Is it government programs designed to make you and me more dependent on government? None of this is written sarcastically or antagonistic or against you personally. I would like to know what you and others think about these questions.
