Life's A Ditch And Then You Die


In 2011, Forbes Magazine Staff writer Rich Karlgaard wrote an article on our ever shrinking economy.
"It’s one thing to fall into a ditch. Quite another to paint and decorate the ditch and call it home. When you hear the U.S. economy has entered a “new normal” period of 2% growth and 9% unemployment, you’re listening to ditch decorators. The economy can do much better. Technology is advancing. Most people want to better themselves. There’s no reason to stay in this rut." Source
For the past two years, I've been explaining to anyone that will listen, we are not in a recession. We are in, or close to, another Great Depression. Today I learn that the Commerce Department has acknowledged that our economy is "... contracting at a 0.5 percent rate." (Source)

Albeit, they're blaming the weather, which of course, is a lie. It's the unconstitutional regulations by unelected government officials. Contributing factors are the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). The willy nilly printing of money. The low interest rates which are only enriching bankers. The rampant inflation. The leaving of major corporations to offshore headquarters because of the aforementioned. The ever increasing taxes. The glaring incompetence displayed by elected leaders. The lack of morals by the majority. And on and on. It's an enormous economic, immorally driven snowball heading straight for financial hell. It's unsustainable. It's a comedy of errors contributing to a high rate of small businesses and family farms closing their doors forever. Small town America is disappearing before our very eyes which is leading to more and more urban decay and despair.

Even our pets are not immune. Ever increasingly, I'm seeing animals abandoned on the side of the road. It's a sad state of affairs!

The biggest obstacle of all is the man who calls himself Obama. He is the unmentionable 'leavings' stuck in the sewer pipe of America, clogging up commerce and denying Americans access to liberties. He and his kind call what is good evil and what is evil good. He is truly a type of anti-Christ.

Elected officials have become ditch decorators. They've chosen to do nothing to stop the madness. They are apparently hoping we will live in that painted, heavily mortgaged, boring concrete grey ditch while they live in palaces stolen from the Middle Class.

I wish paint was still cheap.

Ride Safe,





Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse. It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD. Wealth brings many friends, but a poor man's friend deserts him. A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.
[Proverbs 19: 1-5]

  1. You are a wise woman and I totally agree with every word you wrote. Jim and I talk about it almost constantly and wonder if we can afford to live much longer, for real. It seems to get worse every day, and I honestly hate watching the news on tv. After all that, have a nice day!

  2. I couldn't agree you with more. Obama and Sorros are working toward making us a Socialist country, while they and all the others are filling their pockets. This is what they wanted from the beginning. America, as we knew and loved, is slowly disappearing. I'm afraid of the future, for the first time in my life.

  3. I forgot to add one contributing factor, the "climate change" debate. It's all BOGUS, totally anti-American, and even some of the Republicans (think that fool John Boehner) are backing it! I'm incensed beyond words.

    @Linda Eller ~ Gosh, I hope you don't give up though. It will get better. Turd Boy will eventually be gone and I think the young will take the country back. It's a lot of rumblings in that direction from those under 25.

    @Carol B. ~ I agree completely. George Soros is beyond evil. He must suck all the air out of the room from the hellish heat emitting from where his soul should be. I pray for him and "O". They need to get saved.

    Thank you for the kind words. Let's all just keep praying. Jesus will hold us together. And as Queen Elizabeth I once said, "Even evil men must die one day ..." which means that nothing lasts forever here on earth. We'll make it! ~:)

    I completely understand where Linda & Carol B are coming from. Blessings
