Put People First

For anyone following this blog I'll get back to the root cause next. I had to post this comment to a news article on the auto bail out.

This is a loan to keep the auto industry from going bankrupt. It's not giving them money free. Drop the political games. You either give the loans or America, possibly the world suffers another depression period. Put it into perspective - for comparison lets say you have a job, but your employer can't pay you for 4 months. You knew this was coming and worked hard to cut costs. You need a loan to hold you over or you loose your house. There's only one bank that can give you the loan. The bank tells you you screwed up by not saving enough money and having to big a house. OK, they'll give you a loan but you have to promise to move into a mobile home by the end of next year and stay in the mobile home for life. That's crazy!! Just give you the small loan, which you'll pay back with interest. You tell the bank you've been cutting back and have been looking at a smaller home. You weren't given enough time to sell everything, pack and move. So, do you promise to live in a mobile home the rest of your life because it will be the law or loose everything, go broke and move into a tent. Don't forget, you have a family. Now I have to ask, just drop all the opinions and save the world from collapse. The kids will thank you for not making them live in a tent and beg for food. If you're rich just ignore this note. Oh, I forgot, the people making the rules are rich. They don't need to worry about you and your family living in a tent. Come on people. More and more people I know are loosing their incomes every day. People I know are considering stocking up on canned food for when everyone is broke. People need jobs and that's what the auto industry above any other has millions of. Just stick to the point, get the job done and move on otherwise look for my family in the tent next to yours. It's sad that people 60 to 80 years old, retired are loosing their health care and income. Does anyone hear their cry. They already buy fast food when it's on sale and freeze it for later so they can buy medicine for their heart. I'm sure there will be whine responses and excuses to my comment but remember. This is about people, families, kids, Seniors, not money. If you put money above people the outcome is on you. Crime is already up. A family was caught while trying do their grocery shopping by robbery. Rich or not rich, protected or not. Take away a families food and homes, they will come. My wife and brother have already lost their job. My other brother, nephew and brother-in-law have their hours/income cut to the bone. My wife's grandmother's GM retirement and health care has been slashed. If it hasn't effected you yet, don't worry, it will unless the corporate and political groups don't start worrying about people more than money or the wants of special interests which are just another pot of money that will dry up also. What happened to the business owner that refused to lay off people even though he/she was loosing money. Right to the bitter end the owner paid his people and held them and their families as his own family. in the end he was loved by all those people and a joke to most other business owners still hanging in there by cutting jobs, benefits and pay. I propose a movement to put people above money. give them confidants that they're jobs are safe to the bitter end. People will shop, businesses will have customers, everyone will make money and no one will have to move their family in a tent. If you even care enough to have read this far thank you. Please put people first and I wish for the best for all of you.
