Dear President Bush: I watched with dismay your announcement for your tax relief plan. May I ask which planet you are living on? It is very nice that you've decided to target 1% of our country's GDP to correcting the economic mess we're in. But frankly, I don't see what this is going to do? 1% is miniscule when we stack it up against the waste brought on by our involvement in wars that are draining our country's coffers and diverting funds that belong to the American people. Give us the facts, sir. Show us a pie chart that [Click here to see the rest of the story]

Yup, the media and the government are finally figuring out – and admitting – that things aren't quite as rosy as they've been telling us for the last couple years. Well, duh! Any one of the countless seniors trying to get by on a fixed incomes could have told us that a long time ago. We've been there before. And, thank goodness, we have the skills to muddle through while the pols figure out how to fix the messes they've made.

Now that the new year is firmly planted under our feet, we’ll probably see a small quickening of activity around us. It’s going to be a slow go, if all the indicators we’re observing on the street are accurate. The market continues slow. Many are scrambling to get some balance. And bad habits are difficult to break. But it’s election year….finally. Most often about six months before the big day we see a loosening up of the economy.

Ain’t life grand? The greatest gift of all is being able to start a new day (or a new year). Think about it. With each new beginning we start with a tabula rasa — a completely clean slate. The past is done. We aren’t going to be able to do anything about what’s gone before beyond learn from the experiences. But a new day — or a new year? Well… We can make each new one anything we choose it to be. Of course, to make this new day (or year) better than what has gone before will take some [Click here to see the rest of the story]
