You gotta wonder...

Logically we as a nation are sometimes not up to par; most would agree; I think really!
And I know I am a great American, but…
Go with me here… take the fact that today we were shown our new hundred dollar bill, which will be going into circulation by next February.
The reason this was done was to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to make them, sounds logical, right?

OK if you say so, but my question is: who is going to circulate these large denomination bills when most Americans are just living from paycheck to paycheck and many are still using their plastic if they can get away with it, and people like me who have heard that money, the cash kind truly is filthy, not to mention dirty dirt but with traces of cocaine and heroine on the bills which can transfer to you when touched.
Sounds farfetched you say? Perhaps, but… here’s a scenario for you…

Ask anyone who’s had to empty their pockets at the airport and was a teeny weenie bit suspicious looking because they might fit the profile that no one is supposed to be using, but we all know that they do, and they say its for our safety, imagining what those trace elements on their hands might be thought to speak volumes about them in a negative way, capish?

Why they might even go from looking like a possibility to becoming a more definite suspicious character that should be made to wait for the drug sniffing dogs to make sure they are truly not on that dangerous list or wanted poster!

I believe that cash is a good thing for many situations, baby-sitters, paper boys/girls, grass cutters, for a jar for that leftover change and the like, but when out in the world debit cards are still very safe to use and are accepted everywhere!
Most the time I can see using cash for ordering in too!
But let’s get real folks here, how many people do you know walk around with hundred dollar bills in their wallets that aren’t wealthy or looking to be hit over the head and robbed?

With our bureaucracies’ spending so much time on something so not a part of the American reality which does seem a wee bit too over the top to me.

Lets get back to basics and get on that infrastructure, which needs to be worked on; as it was suggested during the campaign, fixing our roads and bridges and the like will create jobs that many are waiting for plus the green initiative would be begun and there you go more necessary jobs for all those waiting for more jobs, a domino affect in a good way!

GM paid off its bailout loan today! Good for them, now if the rest will follow suit we will be back in the black. Their reputation from this has taught many Americans that they are trustworthy and worth dealing with, wow, what a concept!

On that who can argue with note I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!

Which way will the war go?
