I will use this blog to discuss the issues important to me. With the election of a Democratic president and congress, I feel it important to exercise my rights of free speech and express my reactions to what it happening in Congress, and the economy. What ever violates my sense of reason will be discussed in this blog.
Right off the bat, the state of the economy is poor and getting worse. I was recently told my services were no longer required. Even though I had been expecting it for some time, I was surprised to find that no one was even hiring additional Christmas help. Where there was work, 70-150 people were applying for a single job. Further, my area has heavy defense contractors who, when hiring, need engineers and technicians. So everything is timing and my situation is no different than anyone else. Actually it might be better. I was an independent contractor and still am. If the company I worked with continue the path they initiated some months ago, I will eventually have work.
So much of my issue with congress is that they mess with the economy with some political or social agenda in mind and really destroy the economy in the process and proceed to blame someone else.
