I was out of work for a year and underemployed now, even here in the jobs mecca of Austin, TX. I am over 55 and each month I see my debt increase and my savings decrease. Even with a full time job, I’m not keeping up despite cutbacks.
Zuckerman, a Democrat, analyzes the crisis well but I don’t agree with many of his solutions at the bottom of the page. Government doesn’t need to “take the lead”. Government just needs to get out of the way. Stop punishing the achievers and selecting the winners. Let competition grow and roll back all the government regulations and high taxes that keep outsiders from investing in the U.S.
Texas is as pro-business a state as anywhere yet governments always think solutions are all about them, not the people they allegedly serve.
As for me, I am just trusting in the Lord to get me through my remaining years whether they are five more years or 30. He is faithful. I’m counting on it.
Just spoke to a guy who works for the FAA today. Been at his job for years. He was just notified of a layoff and isn’t too happy about it. The Prez is alienating quite a few government employees and the MSM is starting to shift and turn on him a little. This could get interesting...
Amen - and prayers to you.
Like you, my faith is in our Lord and I’m ready to take the next step in our eternal journey.
God Bless you, my friend!
Consider moving to Houston, it’s getting wild and reminding me of 1975 to 1981.
