Just a quick note for those the worry about conspiracy..

Now, get away from the television, I like to read economists along with gunnies and good people, so I am not surprised that the economy is getting stronger. I haven't said that the government wild spending and fighting wars that weren't needed is getting better, only that the economy is getting a bit better. Okay, gasoline prices haven't come down enough yet - but they will, or we will be walking more soon, which is why this is going to be short, I have done three hours on a stationary bike now it is time to walk between the rain drops.

Back to the economy recovering, first - this is America, and most of us don't wait for the government to clean up before or after floods and hurricanes, although FEMA is around now, these strange terrible weather and natural disasters have been around much longer. So I am not surprised that those that want to start businesses, get the economy moving again and such are going to be doing just that - if the government had been less regulatory, it probably would have started earlier. If there hadn't been unemployment, how many more workers would have searched hard for another job? You don't know do you? The unemployment RATE is falling, why? Well, more opportunities, less long term benefits - they have cut back the total number of months in Washington, because our rate of unemployment is falling, which is a very good sign.

For those that want a conspiracy theory to mull over - one which I don't believe - the current Federal Administration has done all it could to promote unemployment, a bad economy and terrible fuel prices and confusion over an ability to have a budget, to have a budget that balanced and a Congress that would work together to reduce restrictions on Americans and dependence on a handout for everything which the Government has helped raise the prices of... now, it all started with the former Presidents, and the current one only benefits in that slowly most hard working Americans are going around the efforts to make us miserable. As they succeed, the current President and his minions get to claim loudly that his economic recovery plan is working - his efforts for a peaceful withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq are working - and the world under inspection is just a great and beautiful place to be and live. Why should you want to change Presidents?

Well, I think I would like to change government, I would like a Republic again, I would like to know that the politicians will be punished for their crimes, that those in government can't lie to me without being charged for it -- I can't make an untruthful statement to them. Only fair. I don't think that a President Romney will fix the problem in Washington, DC. He will put a different face upon it, but it will grind on slowly looking for that cliff to fall over... it is just beyond the horizon, in the fog of mistakes we spin into success.

Most of the nation knows what is good and right, and still allows our leaders to take us on major military adventures without declaring war and mobilizing EVERYONE to fight or build resources for the fight. We would be done much quicker if War were as important as political games played in Washington, DC. If President Johnson hadn't been allowed to start his War on Poverty, until the War in Vietnam was done - he might have lived longer after office. If we had finished that war, Vietnam might have become a democracy instead of what it is today, or maybe not. Won't know for sure, we never fought the war as a Superpower, or even as a major factor in determining Victory... we watched it consume our bravest and best (unless deferred for various reasons) and our treasure, we pretended it was the fault of the South Vietnamese and the media, and snuck away pretending everyone would be better if we didn't do that any more... at least not half-heartedly. Gulf War I, we won, and left. But fools came back for the second invasion of Iraq, and Afghanistan, and they wanted to do exactly what they couldn't do in the Nam, Korea, Philippines or Germany and Japan... WE DON'T MAKE any other country into America, and ask Canada - it is not a bad thing to be another country, friendly with the United States, but not overly influenced by us.
