Doom and Gloom... or NOT

Are we sick and tired of doom and gloom yet? I am. Look, remember what Truman (or who ever it was) said: We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
True that, as they say in the 'hood.
If we think we are all doomed to poverty and we listen to the gloomy predictions and we repeat them, it will come to pass.
Forget about it!
I am absolutely psyched about 2009! I think, no, I KNOW it is going to be a fabulous year. The best year ever! It is true.
Don't listen to those saying the government has to fix it. The government is what broke it!! They will only make it worse with all the bailouts and give-aways. Don't forget that the government has NO MONEY except what they take from taxpayers. Taxpayers is you and me. I want to keep what little I earn. Why should I send it to Washington, DC so Nancy Pelosi can send it to some multi-billion dollar bank??? That is just plumb stupid. And car companies? Let them get money by selling cars, not by robbing taxpayers.
And highway projects that are supposed to save the economy... the money is going to come from increased taxes, you dufus. And most of it will go to some well-connected contractor's pocket, not to a worker-bee trying to feed his family.
Let the people get courage and resume their daily lives with confidence and the economy will follow a natural course of correction, and it will improve. Let the government try to fix it and we will all be in the hole, as will our children and their children.
But in the long run, it won't matter to me what they do because I have decided that 2009 is going to be the greatest year of my life. And it will be.
