My Thoughts Right Now | armine's Blog

Here are some questions that are floating through my mind:

1. Do fish sleep?

2. Why do people complain so much?

3. Why does the letter 'u' always follow 'q' in the English language?

4. How is the woman that just had octuplets going to pay for 14 kids? (Maybe she should ask all these pro-life people in this country to give her some money; she is going to need it).

5. When is Easter this year?

One more thought: about this stimulus package. In my humble opinion, I think part of the problem is the way we are expecting some kind of a 'quick fix' from the government. I think we need to start looking beyond the next ten days and instead start looking at the next ten YEARS, as far as the economy is concerned. We are a nation that has come to believe in the 'quick fix' whenever we are experiencing discomfort; but as far as the economy goes, it isn't going to be as simple as shooting up your mouth with a shot of novacain or slapping a band-aid on the wound. People are quick to criticize Obama - he doesn't vote on the bills, Congress does. We have to face the fact that we are going to be saddled down with economic problems for the next 3-10 years (I'm not an economist, this is just a random guess); so when we are talking about our economic problems, let's get beyond the immediate moment and focus more on the long-term. There is no easy way out of whatever dark hole we have fallen into, so a mindset adjustment is a good idea moving forward. This is going to take time - a LOT of time - and that's just the grim reality. Peace out...
