I started this morning reading a friends blog. My friend is the epitome of The American Dream, his story is a true inspiration. But, my friend hasn't been here through tough economic and social times, even though he's known real tough times.
My friend wasn't here in 1973 when money was regionalised, California bankers had a cornucopia of cash, but the Midwest bankers had none. Rates spiked in ‘99, but Jimmy Carters legacy was an historic high 21.5% home mortgages! Ronald Regan's legacy, the longest peace time prosperity in our history. America, Americans have always come back and we've always been better for it! We've had some shameful moral lapses, slavery, WW-I and WW-II, but we've always end up doing the right thing, least normally .
Yes we've been trough allot of things. Lately, we've allowed hate to replace logic, compromises to replace patriots, demigods to replace leaders. If this sounds like Germany in the ‘30's and scares you, you're not alone!
Take heart my friends! America is, has been, and always will be resiliently good.
Our country started with an evil compromise, but we corrected it in time, with the worst war in our history, and both we and the world are a better place for it.In times of sustained abundance we've sometimes loss sight of our morals and responsibilities. In tougher times we've look for a scapegoat to blame, just like all the others unwilling to face their own culpability. But, every time we've snapped out of our malaise and done the right thing! Every Time! We'll come through today's problems to and in the end be better off for it! Don't worry about the cost, our Grandchildren will pay for it as we do for our forefathers, discussing, but true.
We now have a choice to make we can sink into depression over the economy and society, for we are in trouble or we can wake up excited each morning anxious to see what today brings. These are interesting times, fascinating times, historic times, I wouldn't miss it!
