Folks been walkin round town lately carryin a mighty sad look on they face. This here resession is a gettin everbody down. They's lots of hard workin folks in these parts what been out of work for the first time since they graduated school. Don't make a lick a difference if'n you a democract or republican, without a job you can't buy groceries and you ain't payin no taxes. Even them darn fool politicians in Washington got enuff horse sense to know that ain't good. None of 'em seem to got much notion how to fix it though. Yeah, some want to throw a wad of money at it and some want to cut taxes, but ain't a one of 'em really got a handle on the real problem
They was a time in this country when folks worked. And when they finished a workin, they had somethin to show for it. Back when I was a youngin, if'n you didn't actually make somethin useful it were'nt considered work. Now folks is a gettin paid more than Babe Ruth just to buy and sell stocks, bonds and somethin they calls futures contracts. Theys don't make nothin useful, just push buttons on a typewritin board all day and pick ups a big paycheck at the end of the week. They was a time when a fellas value was based on what kind a crops he grew, or how he fared with a hammer. Every town had to have a blacksmith, a storekeep, an innkeep and of course a barkeep. Your standing in sosiety was accordin to the value of your trade. Maybe thats what ails this country nowadays. Folks just puts value in the wrong things
Thought for the day: Just remember if'n everything seems to be going well, you has obviously overlooked
something.
