Willie, one day you will shock me and post a positive article. Does a black cloud follow you around ?

Does a black cloud follow you around ?

No, I simply don't have my head stuck in the sand.

Here's a much gloomier story for those of us who would prefer to become more aware of our country's problems (in hopes of our collectively tackling them) rather than think of sweet nothings most of the time in hopes that such problems will evaporate. This week the U.S. national debt just reached an all time high of $6.3 trillion dollars:

I sense Willie is some Union-type thug, because he is always posting articles regarding layoffs or shutdowns, no matter how insignificant, no matter where... even though some "layoffs" or terminations are simply a matter of a Company selling a division, plant or operation to another Company who HIRES the employees.

Another basis for my supposition? Willie LOVES Maglev --- a government make-work boondoggle program of magnificient proprtions .. perfect for the "working people" (and the union thugs).

Willie, be happy.

Republicans spend money just as fast as the Democrats. Nobody will ever fill the shoes of President Ronald W. Reagan who cut govt. regulations and wanted to cut the Departments of: Commerce, Education, Transportation and Enegry. The only way to slow the growth of the budget is to cut payroll and spending.
