The definition of “improve” is in the eye of the beholder (not just Holder)!

Everything is wonderful according to the cheerleaders on CNBC.

It’s frivolous now for me to refill the bird feeder.

It’s going to get worse. Pleas do not forget who is at fault. Obama Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid plus ever sons of *itch in the Congress who voted for Obamacare.

And if anyone has any lower cost alternatives, I'm hip.

Simple answer: the economy will not improve...it may even fail.

When it does, every dumble is on my a$$ whoopin list. And a buch of rinos too.

improving the economy is now measured by how much better off nonproductive government dependents and union/gov employees are doing. How the resources to pay for the party are doing is irrelevant. Caring about the makers instead of solely focusing on the takers is racist or insensitive.

The Margaret Thatcher rules is coming - like an atomic freight train.

Well, D'UH!
The Money Witch Pelosi gave us a hint. We just haven't done enough!

Increasing welfare payments, food stamps, unemployment checks, subsidies to everybody who wants healthcare and doubling the minimum wage all contribute to a more active and robust economy!

When the takers ourbumber the makers 3 to 1, it's only a matter of time before we are all singing the "Hope and Change Kum-BA-yah" song!

OK, so the opportunity is laying there for the GOP to make the case for free market solutions to improve the economy. Will they do it?

Plant "bird food" type plants around your yard or in fields.

I noted the other day to the wife that our 2 feeders seemed to be less used this year..
However when ever I go in the back yard the hedges and back field area where we planted seed-baring plants are always populated with cardinals, juncos, wrens, and finches..

I also regularly chased of large flocks of migrating starlings and blackbirds during the fall to better supply the wintering birds here in the upstate SC..

A couple of loud hand claps mimicking a gun shot usually did the trick.

I can remember when ‘read my lips’ Bush broke just a pledge about taxes and that was enough to get him booted with only one term,

Today, even with being taxed to oblivion, and with more uncertainly and more regulations added daily, and with people losing healthcare or forced to pay twice as much, because some celebrity or the MSM tells them all is well, they just roll over and go back to watching the Superbowl and Dancing with the kardashians on their 55” flatscreens, life is good,

Its a powerful delusion and they believe the lie,

They think the good times are here to stay, but they’re wrong,

All that money going to pay for higher priced healthcare is money that would have been spent on other, more productive, things.

Not to worry. Soon Yellin will take over Bernanke’s job of pumping Fed funds into their cronies accounts, and the business media will tell everyone that happy days are here again...even if you can’t afford decent hamburger at $4.00/lb. (There is no inflation, you know.)

When all is said and done, miss Romney yet? Does Americans realize how their ignorance and false beliefs who Romney is how much damage they have done. Never be reversed. Romany is not perfect but I guess you feel that King Obama was. If Obamacare is repealed it will take years before we return to a private system of health care.

When everyone has less money to spend, people will feel less envious of those who have more. Then a sense of equality will take over and morale will improve. We will all be so euphoric that the rich have been brought low that nobody will feel the need to buy anything. No need to buy anything means businesses will fail by the truckload, teaching the greedy business owners a lesson, further improving the morale of the envious have-nots who now have many more among their number. As a feeling of contentment spreads over the nation, nobody will notice that Pelosi, Boxer, Kerry, Obama and the rest of the scum have become rich beyond belief without having to produce a single thing. But that’ll be okay, because they care so much. And therefore the economy will improve.

Next question?

Thanks for the idea. Already started to plan my planting for next year. A lot of useful websites available too.

I LOVE my birding activities! Feed only Black Oil Sunflower seed; that’s the cheapest. Supplement with raisins & peanuts from The Dollar Store. You’ll have lots of great birds, and few of the Sparrows and Grackles. :)

Your welcome. The part about migrating flocks is important as large flocks can consume everything planted in short order.
