Straight from my mouth:
This has been probably the toughest year for me and my family. My wife lost her job in December 2007 and it hasn't been the same since. I'm not blaming anyone for our hardships and I'm not asking for any government bailout. My point is; we had to cut back! Put on the brakes! Circle the wagons! We didn't spend our way out of a personal recession!
We are actually looking for ways to reduce household expenses. The thermostat stayed on 63 this winter, my daughter is learning to sew, we planted a garden this past summer and have plans to triple it in size and I'm learning to hunt. We are also contemplating on turning off cable and our telephone, keeping the Internet as our source of entertainment and communications.
We are the prime example of spending money and not saving enough during the good times. So how can spending more (money that we don't have) improve our situation? I'm confused, anyone care to help me on this one?
What do you plan to do in 2009? How are you going to make a difference?

President Elect Obama says ‘Government can’t do everything’ when it comes to raising a good society. This is the best damn thing I have ever heard come out of his mouth. Now if we can just get him to understand it is not the government's job to do a lot of things.
Couple of quick thoughts and questions to ponder..........Who has the best medical system in the world? Who has the shortest wait time with the best technology? Who has the most qualified and educated doctors, specialist and staff? We do! So why do we need socialized medicine and/or national health care? Really, should I have to pay for someone who eats fast food several times a week and smokes two packs a day to have a bypass?
What industries are remaining that don't have government connections and/or funding in some way, shape or form? I'm having a hard time assembling a list. Does anyone know what the governments true role should be?
The hole is getting deeper and wider.
