Come on Down You're the Next Contestant on the _______________________?

Setting the stage for the on-set of our nations premiere, to premiere on or before August 2, 2011. The show stoppers are finally going to show the nation that they are in agreement and what is behind curtains numbered 1,2 and 3 will have the people clapping and taking home prizes, once and for all. Our nations future looks bright. And if you believe this, then you must be a person in the audience wearing a clown costume. Our national debt is $14 Trillion Dollars. We became a nation unafraid of spending, and not so concerned with  the interest rates attached to our spending, and that number in 2010 reached an approximate $414 billion. We were living, spending, and flourishing. We purchased items we couldn't afford. What we didn't realize is that one day, when we reached the mountain top and looked down, there would be mouths to feed and angry gators licking their lips for those teeter-tottering atop the cliff. This is the picture I imagine in my mind when I think of our nations budget crisis. By the time an agreement is reached, because there has to be, there are going to be those who are talked into jumping with the idea that they are sacraficing their lives so that the next generation can live. There are those that will just jump, by way of sheer mental exhaustion and hopelessness. And then there are those who will just push you off because they need to make room for those who have the know-how to get back down the mountain, without the threat of being devoured.

These are the wealthy. The show stoppers I mentioned earlier. There really isn't much of a difference in tax increase and a spending reduction both reduce the amount of money being added to the economy. If they choose to tax the wealthy, well, big deal. The wealthy know how to skirt around personal expense and will find a way to protect their hard earned or not-so-hard earned cash. The idea to give up one of the five cars they own, or possibly not add the 8,000 sq. ft. addition instead make it half of that and they will still find a way to receive the greater tax benefit of the two. They're smart.They know how to move and work their cash, which gives them the prime spot on "Inside Edition". And the middle-class, we get our daily appearances on "Survivor", and the poorest could appear on "Who Wants to Be a Millionare". And there's your sign, "WANTS". You cannot calculate on "hope" that you're returning home with big money, you must calculate into your idea of any winning theories, that if you miss the million dollar question the slider scale brings you right back to whence you came, broke.

Our President came with the "hope" speech which was right on time to get elected. Folks were in desperation, and "hope" was the only thing they had to hold on to.

 Now let me get back to the reveals of deal making.

With the reveal of curtain #1, it will mean just that. These are the people that will receive the biggest slice of cake, the ultimate prize, though not immediately. They're going to have to include some deck hands but that will surely get them a seat on "The Love Boat", as they will be the ones who receive the most love now and well into their senior living years.

When curtain #2 is revealed these are the folks who cannot help themselves. They will remain being compensated for their lack of drive and ambition, demographics and the vicious cycle of family historical circumstances that has not offered them the opportunity  to better their situation. (Though there are those that have dug themselves out from under in order to break the cycle). Cheers! to you.

And then there is curtain #3, the earners, the honest money makers, the worker bees, the protectors of the economy.

So what exactly would you find behind these curtains?  

Curtain #1 will be a shiny new car, a trip to Paris, and an all expenses paid six-day seven-night stay in some resort on some excluded island and you'll get to dine with the gurus, top money makers and receive tips and business cards. These people will give you the sustain on how to sustain your cash, and a cash prize of $50,000 you will use to enroll yourself into the best of the best health care programs.

Curtain #2 you receive 199 weeks of unemployment or a one way ticket to move overseas to retrieve the job you lost here in the states. It's your choice, and along with this offer you will receive a year's worth of food from your local grocer, (minus alcohol, cigs, diapers and phone cards), and there is no penalty for the number of people you choose to share your windfall with.

And what about Curtain #3 what do we get? One weeks free vacation anywhere in a 200 mile radius, a free gas card to get you there, two free seminars on how to possibly reduce your current homes interest rate and a $1,000 pre-loaded Visa  Card which can be used at Lowes or Home Depot.

Basically, after all the hee-haw, you will get what you already have and your local municiple facilities will set the standard of taxes, expenditures, and any other rates they see fit to reduce or cut, in order to get a surplus back onto their books.

It is too big a deficit to break down. Though they have to bring something, anything to the table. It is really just a reality TV series gone wrong.

I believe the white house officials should hire Julie Suzanne Chen, the hosts of "Big Brother," and they live together for three miserable months. Everything they say and do would be recorded until finally all are voted off leaving the last person standing that remotely had all parties best interest in mind.  I suppose the White House would blink a red "Vacant" sign, if this were ever the case.

Bottom line and advice: get knowledeable. Listen to your own voice and reasoning, Majority does not make it any less painful. Start finding what is your own reality now, and well into your familys future, or you could sit back and do nothing and wait to get voted off the island of "We The People," and shifted over to the island of "We Were The People".
