Did our founders get everything right?


Let’s answer the question posed above – of course they did – for a while – but it appears we the people are simply loaded into the back seat of the never changing homo sapiens vehicular repetitiveness of simply not learning from history.

Folks we – yep us the people – are on the road of history to self destruction.  Call it whatever turns you on – whatever your brain or your language or your education or whatever turns you on and you grasp – you are the one doing it – no one else – it’s you.

This guy has a bunch of basics that have pretty well remained unchanged since his good Mom moved him out to his first breath of American air.  He calls ‘em fundamentals!

He was taught them – yes – but he also knows something and he is not sure if he was born with that something or if he learned it before he was 5 or 6 years old (meaning from Mom and dad and others).    At the top of that list – we owe others – mostly good men – good young men – who fought and died or if fortunate came home and raised us while working and continuing to follow some basics.   They taught this kid that this wonderful place into which he arrived – well he too had better do what they did most all of the time.

What’s our top fundamental – ours and others – when it comes to America?   Borrow money only for a worthwhile purpose – usually, not always, to build something and then always – ALWAYS – pay it back – never stick someone else with your DEBT.

Why?  Folks the answer is so simple that this old fart is almost disinclined to state it – we ain't worth nothing – nada – zip e dee do dah – if we expect someone else to do something for us – like pay back our debt or live with the consequences of not paying it back.

Sure we hold the smelly ones – the 435/100/9 + 000,000’s more across our once land of the free, home of the brave – 110% accountable for this mess we are in.  We say “flush ‘em” – cripes, why not – we get to keep or flush most of ‘em every two years – overpaid nonproductive smelly turds.  Our founders didn't like smelly ones – do you?

We ain't doing it!   Hold up a mirror – the big change needed comes from…….you’re lookin’ at her or him!

PAY DOWN DEBT!
