Well hello all! I have been on an extended break. I have been just so frustrated since the election. I almost lost all hope. Something just clicked inside me and said Michael we just can't lay down. Although the fight may be getting tougher we must fight on (as I’ve always heard "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen") Well here I am back in the kitchen! Yes I am fighting mad and angry at what the idiots in Washington are doing! Why in the world are we bailing out these banks that can't manage their money correctly in the first place? It just makes no sense to me in the world! A bank is failing and there paying the CEO ungodly amounts of money! I say let them fail!! The government is spending money they don't have and calling it a stimulus package. They are just pushing all the BIG government programs and pork through and we are going to have to pay for this mess! I just still am having a hard time believing that in this great country we could elect a president just because he is popular or a good speech giver. You can't always talk you way out of a corner! I hope and pray we can make it through these next 4 years without much more damage to this great country. God have mercy on America
