I'm Mad America!
I just don't understand why we do things before thinking things out, what is wrong with this picture?
article you must read to get mad.....http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28923709
First off why are we using a Spanish company when all i heard during the election "use it or lose it!" Is this the right company, to be honest Texas who ever built the high five should be doing all the road construction in Texas period, they were under budget and were done before the schedule time given to do the project. HELLO I would use them every time we needed to do road construction in Texas. Get real people.
Secondly why are you charging $1.20 to go 13 miles and up to $6.50 in some cases? To top it off you are going to let this company have the fees for the next 52 years! Holy Crap!
Who in the world is minding the money, would you like to buy some land in Florida?
Creative Conclusion;
The Texas Department of Transportation needs to step back and look this over again, don't say the gas tax is not enough because, if that is the case then you need to go to Las Colinas and knock on Exxon's door and ask for more money, because we all know who has the money....
Come on Texas get real do the right thing there are so many Texans out of work here in the great state of Texas to do the work, for god's sake Bush is out of office so do the right thing Please!

Problem gambling may rise as economy falls
Right up my alley America Gambling! Love to gamble a little here and there really don't understand why everyone is bringing this up now.
Layoffs, foreclosures could propel more people into addiction, experts say!
article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28921476/
Well if they don't have money how in the world will they get addicted to gambling, what's wrong with this picture? Is America waiting for a reason to gamble....come on we have been gambling since the beginning of time.
Okay where do you fall?
More than 2 million people in the U.S. are pathological gamblers, according to Keith Whyte, executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling in Washington, D.C. Between nearly 5 million and 7 million more adult have serious gambling problems, and perhaps 15 million more are at risk.
Are you a problem gambler?
Here are 20 common questions used to assess problem gambling behaviors. Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions.
1. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
2. Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
3. Did gambling affect your reputation?
4. Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
5. Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
6. Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
7. After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
8. After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
9. Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
10. Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
11. Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
12. Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
13. Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
14. Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
15. Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble, boredom or loneliness?
16. Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
17. Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
18. Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
19. Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
20. Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?
Creative Conclusion;
America go out and gamble on the Super Bowl, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Baseball, Horse Races or just about anything you could think of you could gamble on it if you want. I think a little gambling is good for the soul, it helps you remember where you will be getting your next check from and make you realize there is a tomorrow. So if it makes you feel good, I say do it!

Stimulus plan
The plan
President Barack Obama's expansive and expensive plan to jump-start the economy is expected to clear its first hurdle on Wednesday when the Democratic-controlled House votes on a $825 billion version that melds new spending and tax cuts.
The economic stimulus plan, first unveiled on Jan. 15 by Obama and House Democrats, strongly emphasizes energy, education, health care and jobs-producing highway construction. The House version of the legislation calls for federal spending of about $604 billion and tax cuts of $212 billion over the next two years, though these figures are likely to change.
The House and Senate versions of the stimulus plan haven’t been reconciled by negotiators from the two bodies, so the bill that will go to the president’s desk is not in its final form.
Congressional leaders have promised Obama they will send him the measure, which could be the single largest bill ever to go through Congress, by mid-February.
Click on the categories at left for a look at some specifics of the plan.

Big U.S. companies announce massive job cuts
A slew of American heavyweight companies, including Caterpillar, Pfizer, Sprint Nextel, Home Depot and General Motors, announced thousands of job cuts Monday. What's more, a group of business economists predicted many more job losses in the year ahead.
article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28854051/ please read.
Okay America let's not panic, these companies are cutting back because like all good companies they grew to fast, with the exception on General motors, they have been around long enough to make the cuts it needs to. One thing they need to do is quite giving retired people a raise!
Home depot is making a good move, when the housing market was booming the Expo was a great place for builders to send their clients to and pick out expensive merchandise, instead of just buying it directly from Home Depot.
Pfizer, must be getting ready not to receive all that money from the government, someone must have caught on?
Sprint, you bought up a competitor so you are using that to rectify your over head expenses.
Caterpillar, building new homes and business is down and construction is down all over but, road construction is big, so your profits are good but you just have to much over head on people. Understandable.
Creative Conclusion;
All business need to take a look at themselves and make those cuts needed to move forward and start making a product that will save the consumer money and save the manufacture money. But get America back on track in the world, what I mean by that is America has always been number one in the world not so anymore, it seems that other countries are good at making a cheaper better product and then make the U.S. import it! Why America? Why can't we do it again, we need to get off the high horse and begin doing things again, simple and start flooding the world market with our products not other country products cutting corners. And while I'm at it bring back those jobs we lost to India, I think there are enough Americans out of work to handle the call volume and we may even understand who we are talking too!

2nd Amendment in Wisconsin
Okay America here is one for the books, I just happened to be listening to Lou Dobbs this evening on CNN and he said this is going to seem strange to some people.
There is a man serving a 30 month sentence for owning an AR gun which misfired, what is strange is the courts convicted the man not because the gun wasn't registered but because the gun misfired and was considered by law a "Machine Gun!" Here is why; The gun has a magazine that fires more then one bullet when pulling the trigger. If the gun was a single shot it would not be considered a machine gun by law! This man has been in the Armed forces and served his country. At the time of his arrest he was in the local National Guard, Hello! This is just not right period, this man has a wife kids Mom and Dad, he has served 7 months of his 30 month sentence. The NRA is not involved but, Guns for America is helping him with legal aid, my hats off to them.
Creative Conclusion:
What is this country coming too? Do we need to send a man to jail because he owns a gun that he knows how to use and was trained by our military to use it! Come on America get involved.
The 2nd Amendment allows Americans to bare arms.
Here is what needs to be done America:
1. Let the man go home.
2. Change the law to state correctly what a machine gun is, not any automatic weapon should be considered a machine gun.
3. Apologize to the man give him back what he had before his arrest, clean his record, give him his job back and family back.
4. Wisconsin Don't you have better things to do with your time!
5. Keep making good cheese.

A New Day, A New President
Well America, today January 20, 2009 marks the start of the new President of the United States. What will take place on his first day in office beginning January 21, 2009, President Obama will begin his new quest by getting information to the American people about the money spent where it went and how he will start to change things in Washington D.C.
Could we see more of the people at work contacting their Senators and Congress representatives and begin giving Obama the right to direct the American people. Or will we see the old Senators and Congress like we have seen the last 8 years? I hope not.
Creative Conclusion:
For today let all of us enjoy the day and the evening events as they make way for a long, long, start to the new President.
So please everyone have fun but, remember tomorrow will be a working day. The very first day of a new America! Watch out World we're back!

We The People (Your Boss)
President Bush addressed the nation last night for the last and final time, thank god! So every time he spoke he sent the markets south, or when he appeared on T.V. in the rose garden he sent the markets south, when he was out and about he sent the markets south. So in reality Bush sent the market south. Today January 16, 2009 the market is heading north, could it be that we are not going to hear from Bush again and are able to cope with the out come of the Elections back in November, God I hope so!
I am looking forward to the new President of this great nation to listen to the people and do as they request. Answer us with the truth, don't wait until you leave office and try and win us over, do it from the beginning, please.
Congress you all need to take a pay cut just like everyone in the U.S.A. has to save the economy, a 20% or 30% pay cut won't hurt you.
Federal Employees all need to take a pay cut also 10% to 20% pay cut.
How about every government employee no matter who you are take a 5% to 10% pay cut and help this great nation.
Creative Conclusion;
We the people (your boss) are asking you to consider saving this country from the economical down turn it has taken.
We the people (your boss) are asking you to tell us why gas has gone up from the $1.39 per gallon price, less than 2 weeks ago to $1.75 a gallon, WHAT CHANGED? The price of Oil is down so where is the demand? Who's pocket are we filling this time?
We the People (your boss) are expecting you, the government, to pay us back on the $700 Billion we approved for you to bail out the market and banks......all I really see is banks buying other banks.....is this what you are using our money for, shame on you.
We the people (your boss) are asking for help and all we are seeing is a waste of our money. Who can answer and tell us once and for all where the money went, who's pocket did it line?
We the people (your boss) are going to change and do what is asked of us, now we the people ask you to do the same.
We the people (your boss) Say "God Bless America and all it's people."

Bush tell us everything!
America, I don't know if you saw President, on his way out, Bush speak to the press yesterday but what is he trying to do? Is he trying to come up with his own version of a good America, or is he just trying to come to reality with the people of our great nation. If it took him 8 years to understand everything happened on his watch well then he just needs to understand crap happens and he needed to stay in touch with the American people. He also needs to understand that America is in financial trouble and we the people are going to feel it for years to come, Bush will not feel a thing since he made much of his money in Oil, Texas Tea. He has no idea what it is like to live pay check to pay check or unemployment. So wake up and smell the roses Bush, you have a problem you listened to your advisers who also don't see anything wrong with the way you ran this country........into the ground, I might add.
Creative Conclusion:
1. Bush is leaving office.......Yeah!
2. Bush needs to pick-up a news paper sometime and quite watching Fox News.
3. Bush needs to tell Chaney never come over to my house in Dallas for anything not even dinner.
4. Bush needs to give America back what he took!
5. Bush needs to realize he hurt this country financially.
6. Bush needs to not speak to the American people any more all he does is run the market into the ground every time he appears on T.V.
7. Bush you need to walk the streets of Dallas and see what you have done to our Great country, then walk the streets of Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, New York City, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Seattle, Grand Rapids.
8. Bush,After you walk the streets of this great nation tell the American people you failed as a leader of this great country.
9. Bush on Thursday night when you address the American people don't ask us for any more money, you have already spent $700 billion in 120 days, congratulations nothing has changed.
10. Bush go home.................................................................let us clean this mess up.

I am tired of this women America how about you?
Palin attacks media over 'very scary' reporting......
Former VP candidate accuses journalists of believing 'gossip and lies'
article please read.....http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28573074/?GT1=43001
Please let's all get real, it seems that every Republican out there is on her side, or are they. Did America get caught up in this persons life because no one knew anything about her...or her family. Did we really let this person get under our skin every time she spoke! I will admit she gave a good speech at the convention but after that the McCain people let her go and do interviews they didn't screen and teach her how to answer the questions, or did they do that to prove anyone could be Vice President. In the past most VP's said things to come back and bite them in the Ass! Qual couldn't spell tomato! Ford always fell down all the time and let's not forget Al the "Internet Inventor" Gore. I think this Palin women wants to be like them.........but wait they were in the White House and oh Palin isn't, could be a problem here.
I for one am not impressed with someone who refuses to show the facts or prove the media wrong. Palin needs to come clean on all the issues brought up during the election, no one is evil here in America we all want the scoop on you. So if you have the "Balls" to come clean then do it, if you don't quite your whining and suck it up.
Creative Conclusion:
Palin stay in Alaska where you are a match, cold and into yourself. America needs to forget this person or just add her to the list of would bees.........Let's keep her out of the news until she decides to come clean.

First week of the year 2009!
Well today is the first day of a full week of 2009, and the first headline I see is:
Obama plan includes $300 billion in tax cuts.
Well the tax cuts are one thing but what about money in the American pocket? What happened to getting money in the American public pocket book to stimulate the economy? I guess by the way the Republicans screwed up the $700 billion we gave congress it looks as thought we the American people only get a tax credit of $500 if your single and $1,000 if married.
Not good, we are going to be paying back this debt for years to come, what ever happened to the great package to save America?
Article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28501135/ read it.
From the article; The economic package under consideration by the president-elect and his Congressional allies would commit $675 billion to $775 billion over two years. If the tax cuts represent 40 percent of that, as Mr. Obama’s advisers said Sunday, that would mean about $270 billion to $310 billion.
About half of that would go to workers under what Mr. Obama during his campaign called the Making Work Pay credit, worth up to $500 for individuals and $1,000 for families. The Obama campaign estimated that about 150 million Americans making less than $200,000 would qualify, including those who make too little to pay federal income taxes but would receive a check that would offset Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes.
Creative Conclusion;
Show us the money!
