Direct Buy Club

As the economic situation gets worse and worse, and our elected representatives would rather bicker about what is better – tax cuts or relief spending – rather than, you know, actually fixing things, situations are looking bleak. It doesn’t help that as I write this, there is a gray sky and no clouds.

However there are still a few ways to save a bit of money. Direct Buy Clubs are a significant way to save. There employees are actually positive, and their products are high quality, so they will be able to valuable in case anything may happen.

There are a lot of things to consider at this point, and one of the major thoughts of mind, especially amongst people whose children are grown up, and they are now living in a large, empty house, and paying a mortgage for that large empty house is selling it for some profit, and moving into a new, smaller home. To do that, you may need to touch up some parts of your home and this is where Direct Buy can come in.

Inaguration Day

Today we welcome the first half-black man into the white house. Yes, I said half-black. I feel if we can call him black, we have just as much right to call him white. Nevertheless, I feel Barack Obama will make a fine choice as the new leader of the free world. He has a far better head than the last guy.

As it is well known, the economy is not doing well. January has had far more layoffs than we needed, with businesses like Circuit City going bankrupt. It is a tough time we are in, and as previously stated, it is my hope that this man helps to put things where they belong. I do not doubt that we will have some tough times ahead, but I feel in the end things will get better.

The inauguration is an hour away. I plan on watching it.

New Years Means New Everything

2008 has come and gone, and as far as I’m concerned – Good Riddance.

2008 saw a financial debacle the likes of which that hasn’t been seen in over half a century. Real estate failed; banks failed; investments failed; I was going to say the American auto industry failed, but they have been failing for years. War continues and we may be drawn into another.

However there are some lights at the end of the tunnel. We have a new president, who hopefully will continue the trend of Democratic presidents fixing the mistakes of Republican presidents. Because everyone is worried about the economy and no one is buying anything it means all the stores are having fantastic sales. I have even heard rumor the PS3, a system my sun is pushing us to get, will be on sale in a few months.

My hope is that we begin to see a turn around this year. I feel that Greed has run rampant in the Bush era, and that 2009 will start to see Americans turn away from greed and focus more on unity and assistance. But who am I kidding? We’ll still see foreclosures, corruption scandals, violence and natural disaster. I just hope Obama is a bit more calm and intelligent than the last guy, and will at least point us into a better direction.
