One of the simple things that will revitalize and help stabilize our economy is the availability of jobs that pay at least a sufficient amount to live comfortably, raise a family and pay for necessities with enough left over to save and splurge a little.
Those of you over the age of, and perhaps as young as 30, remember a different economic climate long ago and watched as all our lives began to change faster with even bigger challenges due to unemployment and higher prices. Unemployment, underemployment and financial problems have caused such tremendous chaos that even those who are still able to pay their way feel the ground shaking beneath them as well.
My thoughts on the changes, as I have watched and fretted over it for quite a few years, is about how many American jobs have been lost due to outsourcing work and manufacturing to other countries where labor costs (and their cost of living) is far less. Companies that outsource have enjoyed greater profits, but the general public is not reaping the benefits, and changes need made.
It is way past time to get off this roller coaster ride and bring American jobs and efficient manufacturing back home here where it will benefit our economy and our lives. This issue has had a domino effect, jobs lost, tax base lost, everyone looking for government aid, and our government is borrowing money. Our economy needs reformed from within.
Contact your congress critters and discuss your concerns. If you are not signed up to vote, do so now, and arm yourself with full knowledge of the issues at stake -- from many sources, read independent conservative bloggers as well to get a more balanced view, the general news will not tell you everything you need to know to make informed decisions.

Your Income Tax Dollars Do Not Work.. But You Do, Or Used To Work
Our economy is so bad right now, it might just as well join the other useless items in the dumpster for trash removal. Why are so many people shaking their heads and declaring that they just cannot understand it?
The damning evidence piles are high and absolutely reeking like garbage. I am not going to visit each pile here, but begin by laying out one of the big problems: Government size and spending.
Government has become so large over the years that it feeds on its own need, and in turn, has a huge appetite for your income tax dollars and unnecessary government spending on itself and on many other things. This exponential growth is going to affect not only you and your children, and their children, but further on down through more generations to come. This unhappy situation needs put into proper perspective and remedied promptly so that our country can become a safe and happy home for every one of us.
Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma has a lot of reports on wasteful spending, many of them totally outrageous of your and my income tax dollars that fund the government spending. A quick trip through them is enlightening and there are many more that I know of that were not mentioned.
If your own budget was set up like this, your own finances would quickly fail and you would be in deep trouble, if not homeless. The whole problem with unnecessary government spending is that it personally affects every one of us who will carry the burden and for generations to come -- it is all totally unnecessary and totally avoidable.
Senator Tom Coburn has a website with a great deal of information on wasted money spent by the government. You can find that at http://coburn.senate.gov/public
Take the time to read it. Contact your own congress critters and demand a stop to spending that benefits special interests, is totally unnecessary or outrageous; and absolutely NOT geared to rebuilding our economy to the benefit of everyone.
This recession is real, folks, there will be no quick fix. If you are not broadly informed on real issues, set aside time NOW to do it on a regular basis. Read independent conservative bloggers, not just mainstream news. You will learn a great deal and see the other side of the story. Once you are well armed with a lot of information, make certain you are signed up to VOTE.
Never miss the opportunity to vote and make your voice heard loud and clear. Your vote does count.
Here is more reading for you on totally unnecessary, outrageous spending and waste of your income tax dollars that will benefit an already profit-making business that earns their profits on human misery -- do you really want your dollars going here? See my Thursday, December 25 article at http://livethoughtfully.blogspot.com/2008/12/planned-parenthood-wants-46-billion.html Outrageous!
Update to this post 1/13/08:
I want to correct any misunderstanding in my post above about PP being a normal for profit business. Their business is operated as a nonprofit in a very slick manner. Access the Better Business site at: http://charityreports.bbb.org/public/Report.aspx?CharityID=626&bureauID=9999 -- so you can read it for yourself, and here is an excerpt from the report "Former President Gloria Feldt received total compensation of $902,148 for the period of July 1, 2004 - January 31, 2005." We are talking some serious compensation here for a nonprofit that wants to suck in your income tax dollars.
Can anyone tell me what charity or non-profit pays this well, turns around and uses taxpayer income tax dollars to further solicit donations, makes political contributions to ensure legislation in their favor, and works as hard as possible to infiltrate schools and other organizations for the young to teach them more than they ever should know about how to achieve a total lack of morals?
Jeff Miller over at http://www.splendoroftruth.com/ has a good article about their "earnings". You can read it at http://www.splendoroftruth.com/curtjester/archives/008802.php anyone else hearing alarm bells going off?
