WTB v.43.0

June Gloom—that’s what we in So Cal call the marine layer coming in during the early summer and keeping us cool. The economy is suffering June Gloom of its own, based on poorer-than-hoped-for bounce backs in new job creation and rising oil prices. Of particular concern to those who follow our Government, is, that’s already reelection preening, so we know our President, Senate and House members’ collective mind is on one thing—getting reelected.

Healthcare be damned. Budgets be damned. It’s time to wring money out of PACS and build a war chest for the next 2 years. What’s wrong with this picture? It doesn’t include the citizens of the US. We deserve better than this.

So, what does a country involved in 3 or more wars and is fighting bankruptcy do to right itself outside of our elected officials? We can all work harder and make our lives better through our professional ethics, performance on our jobs and finding better jobs to fund educations for our children and to self-help the economy by buying American and by getting healthier through better choices.

Keep our heads up and capitalism will right the markets organically. These are times of uncertainty, but worrying over things we can’t control won’t improve the country, the economy or our lives. Controlling the elements we CAN control is key. Sanity can exist and rule the day, even when our government is teetering in party politics and finger pointing. Good Hunting.
