Happy New Year!


Hours to go here in the good ole US of A but it will come as soon as we all know…YES! Tomorrow will come! Oh, wait, that was on the December 21st when that theory was in question that it was supposed to be…THE END OF THE WORLD! And so as I said before tomorrow will come and with it another NEW YEAR! This coming year has the suffix of ‘13’ in its numerical digits, but no one appears to be worried about that, are they? Too many other worries methinks. Many though, already know that our elected officials, so far, have let us down one more time in this end to 2012 with no resolve to the fiscal cliff dilemma, now being called a fiscal slope…! Its hush, hush and Wall Street did benefit from an early possibility of it being closer when our Pres. announced in a news conference that they were this close to a resolve, what nice optimism… but so far it hasn’t happened, YET! They do have until mid-night, now wouldn’t that be a wonderful NEW YEAR’S GIFT to your constituents who hold your future jobs in all of our hands just by the darkening of a little box, called the ballot? Will it go down to the wire with the arrogant boys preventing all of our heart palpitations causing us to not call 9-1-1? Many will not be in the mood to celebrate tonight due to fear caused by Washington D.C. of future expenses too great to allow any enjoyment. Moving on... Laws going into effect tomorrow are interesting and some are exiting and others are just plain odd. So many to list but some of interest: legalized marijuana for Washington and Colorado states, no more motorcycle wheelies in Illinois, not to mention same-sex marriage, and health reform…for more info about many of the others, go to: http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/a-new-year-brings-new-compliance-obligat-83817/ But... This is supposed to be a wish you well in the coming year blog tonight, sorry to bring up intrusive things for our lives hanging on financial strings… oops that’s not nice! The cliff though to most of us middle class people means little or nothing in the bigger picture…Twenty to a bit over a hundred dollars a month and its not like they would actually take the whole year to fix the problem, it should be done within a week, a month, six months or two or more, or maybe… four more years, boy, some of those guys are way too stubborn! Now if they were my kids I would lock them in a room together and not allow any of them to leave until they fixed whatever was the problem! See, now why were they allowed to go home? They are supposed to be doing what we pay them to do, right? Oddly enough, as I understand this and as angry as I am about all of this, we already retired people will not be affected. BUT IT’S NOT FAIR FOR ALL YOU WHO WILL BE! Sorry, I went off like that. In closing enjoy the New Year's arrival with your Champagne and herring and try hard to bring in a very HAPPY NEW YEAR and we will too! Now allow me to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with the Sandys and whomever else you wish to and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
