So, what is Next?

OK, I was under the impression a plan in the 700 billion dollar bailout was a done deal. I never had a clue there was a chance it would not pass a vote. Well, people are hurting in this tough economic time. There are families doing without, some wondering when they will have to find a new place to live. Now, the lawmakers are trying to come up with a new plan. At this point, I am not sure what caused the plan not to pass. I guess we will see what the future holds. Maybe the Senate and Congress will get their act together and we will see something done before it is too late.

What a week, since Friday we have lost one of our greatest actors, a bailout bill failed as I said above and the market lost almost 800 points in less than ten minutes yesterday.

The up side to all of this, the market will rebound, the power in the government will shift and many other great actors will follow Paul Newman’s path. The best thing of all is we will learn from history and it will be many generations after us before anyone will have to deal with this kind of mess again.

Just remember we have our whole lives ahead of us. Keep your eyes lifted high and follow the path of the greatest man ever to walk the face of the earth. He gave us the best example of how to live.
