How Are Your Investments Doing?

I have no money in the stock market.  All my stock holdings were wiped out during the dot-com bust.  But, thanks to the leader of the House, not all is lost.  She talks about our investments as if we all share in whatever this greater good is.  In fact, the investments are payments to various sectors of the economy to insure that segment of the economy keeps paying to re-elect the Speaker and her cronies.

If I happen to live near a road being built or rebuilt, perhaps I benefit in some way.  But the true beneficiaries are likely to be the unions that got to build the roads and drive the turcks over those roads in the future.  I would love to be a truck driver, but I'm not.

Quite frankly, I don't know what kind of investments the House Speaker might make for me where I might benefit.  I doubt she knows or cares.  She just wants to hand out the pork to protect her job and the job of her fellow socialist politicians.  

But, we are in a pickle these days.  The Republicans have become even bigger spenders than the Democrats.  

The facts are that jobs are too few and skills required are either too few or too many.  In the case of "too few" we have the problem of being a Wal-Mart society.  In the case of "too many", companies can only afford to hire for one position when in fact they need the skillsets of two or three people.  There is no middle ground.

So, I don't know what investments the Speaker of the House will make for me.  I just wish her good luck because I have no money to invest for myself.
