Bite The Bullet

An old friend of the Tennessee Mountain Man who is now deceased once said when asked about taking opposing positions in the same court (different cases) in less than a month, "we be whoes... we know we be whoes".

Then there was the old joke where a rich old timer met a doll at the bar and asked her if she would spend the night with him for a million dollars. She smiled sweetly and answered yes. After a few minutes he asked if she would stay the night for a half million dollars. She sipped her drink and said maybe. A couple more drinks and he asked, "how about a $1,000.00"? Incensed she retorted, "what do you think I am, a whore?". To which he responded, "we have already answered that question. We are now negotiating the price."

But, the political climate of the 2008 Presidential elections, take the cake! They remind me of an ex-wife (I'll let them ponder to which of the six I refer) and maybe Google.

Be warned, the price the jackasses and elephants are negotiating now is our children's and grandchildren's future. Rather than biting the bullet and letting the economy and the market shake out the chaff, both parties are busy bidding against each other in an effort to buy the presidency of the United States for the next four years.

Borrowing one percent of America's GDP from China for a short term economic shot in the arm is simply not worth the cost. It is rather comparable to going to the doctor with a severe infectious STD and receiving a shot of antibiotics without a follow up protocol of say, a prescription of antibiotics to complete the treatment.

While the Computer Man is endorses no one for this single most important political position in the free world, it is worth noting that the non candidate, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, has made the most sensible (not that politics can be sensible) suggestion so far. It may be somewhat reminiscent of the WPA of 1939, but instead of giving away money we don't have... if we have to borrow and spend, do something that really will help - maybe not today but over the long haul. One suggestion, if we are going back to our banker (China) use it to rebuild America's infrastructure.

It is time for the democratic, republican, independent and all Americans regardless of political stripes to bite the bullet, stand up and say, stop it. Stop the madness! Shout it from the house tops. Stop!!!

It must be done quickly to be successful as the brokers have settled and embraced the issue and are now haggling over price and time.
