August, I think like most cats, I slept through the majority of it. Lets face it. Cats sleep 20 hours of the 24 hours day, and yet somehow I think we cram more living into our four hours of activity, but THAT is a debate for another time.
I'm checking in with you all because ... I said this would happen! You sillies. Now you all have to get serious and start making sense.
Make sure that those people you elected actually represent you. It is important to keep the credit flowing in this country - NOT necessarily for CREDIT CARDS, in case you haven't noticed - they are legal loan sharking. The fact that OUR government allows for interest rates ABOVE oh, say 14 to 15% in addition the predatory fees which in effect can render a person's ACTUAL interest to anywhere from 45% or higher depending on the balance. The GOAL for the credit card company is to keep the American CONSUMER IN DEBT. This is bad for America and all but the wealthy Americans.
Credit is important, however to businesses and job creation, employee retention. Of course, credit is also most important to home owners and those facing the nightmare of foreclosure. Why, if the BANKS and the FINANCIAL institutions are getting a bailout - can't we help those who were VICTIMS of the BANKS and FINANCIAL institutions - who in their unabated GREED - could not and would not STOP and got people into homes with these terrible ARMS (adjustable rate mortgages) which fluctuated based on the Fed. And again, just who and what is the Fed, but the
GOVERNMENT'S ILLEGAL CREATION? So, they in their greed and desire to please BUSINESS in the lax of oversight (
yah, the banks were going to oversee themselves and this wasn't going to happen - read how I predicted this months ago).... and rates go up and down to MANIPULATE our free economy? How is this capitalism again?
And Bush is NOT a SOCIALIST? No that's right - because not everyone benefits under his plan. Only the damn wealthy. Enough.
Well, that's it from the catnip patch. Let's face it - a Bad Kitty has not a lot to lose. My country got lost a while ago and until it comes back, well, I like rolling in the sun and nibbling the catnip.
Peace.
