Capitalism and Communism failed what next?

Capitalism and Communism failed what next?

Barack Obama right now as of this writing is trying to save capitalism from itself even before he has the power to do so. The only way he can do it is to add Socialist programs into the mix which is blasphemy to those who hold the “Free Market” as a religion the same as those in China who held Communism as a religion hold Capitalist programs as blasphemy. The only hope for both America and China has is that he finds the right mix and can get it through the hard heads who don’t like “Change”. Barack Obama is perhaps the Smartest President ever elected, but he must change minds set in stone a very hard task that even God is still trying to do.

President Elect Barack H Obama After the Election

Barack Obama or cool hand Barack as someone called him for he always kept his temper when all through the campaign his opponents throw everything they could find at him he rarely turned fire instead he just kept on explaining what he would do if they elected him President of the United States of America. He showed great decision making by first selected a great Campaign staff then Joe Biden for his running mate. He doesn’t seem to me to be progressive enough, but hopefully those in Congress that are can push through some more progressive programs in Health Care and Education. Barack Obama is a strong signal as to how far we have come and he again hopefully take us another step forward, but there will be still a long road ahead for future generations to travel.

Vice-President elect Joseph Biden After the Election

Joe’s weakness is that his mouth works at a faster speed than his mind. He often says the wrong name like Obama when he means McCain, but I can related to that I often call my own kids by the wrong name and Joe once said Television instead of Radio when talking about FDR’s fire side chats. The media ignored Joe during the campaign except when the other side took issue with something he said which only came as Election Day drew near and they were looking for anything to save themselves. They did use his voice in an Ad when he said the new President would be tested within the first six months. They used it as if he meant only Obama, but he meant any new President as the history of former Presidents would confirm. Joe Biden was a very good choice for Vice-President for he been in Washington for 35 years and knows how to get Obama’s programs through Congress

Governor Sarah Palin After the Election

Governor Sarah Palin After the Election

I was astonished when John McCain picked an unknown Governor of Alaska to be his running mate for Vice-President. After hearing her speak at the Republican Convention I thought what the hell is McCain thinking, she has got to be the worst choice in US History. She did appeal to the Republican Right wing base which he had anyway, to some women at first, but the more even they heard her the more she turned them off. Sarah Palin’s lack of knowledge especially for a Governor of a State is astonishing. Sarah’s Father was a Science Teacher, but neither his wife or his daughter believe in Science maybe she say more about the state of our country that someone like can be elected Governor much less Vice-President.

Sen. John McCain After the Election

I Think John was a fine Senator before he got the desire to run for President then he lost his way. John is a Republican, but he did have some good ideas as Senator and was not always on the “Right Side” of an issue, he was for Campaign financing, against the war in Iraq, against torture and in short was a Social Progressive while being a Fiscal Conservative. Once John decided to run for President he was all for the war and wanted nothing less than victory and he had no other ideas and he started talking about his POW story over and over again or just trying to run down his opponent. Just the want of power changed him for the worst so maybe loosing this election might have been the best thing for him. Maybe the old John McCain will come back to Washington.

Regulate the Airlines and on line ticket Services.

Regulate the Airlines and on line ticket Services.

In the year 2007 we booked a trip to Portugal from Cheap Tickets.com on Delta Airlines for September of 2008 unfortunately I became sick just before the trip and had to cancel the trip. In early August of 2008 we called Cheap Tickets to Cancel and they said that they could only give us credit which we had to use on the same Airline by December 31, 2008. We called a second time because we didn’t think that was right and they told us that they could not cancel the tickets that we had to call Delta Airlines. So we called Delta Airlines and they said that we had to bring a Doctor’s note to a Delta Ticket office they said the nearest one to us was at Islip Airport. So in September we got in our car and drove to Islip Airport where we were told that Delta Airlines is no longer there and we had to go to JFK Airport. We then took the LIRR from Patchogue to the Airtrain to the Delta terminal at JFK. Where after standing on a long line an Delta Agent told us that they would give us a full refund, but that Delta Airlines is only in control of the Tickets ten days before the flight and that Cheap Tickets could have and should have done it before the ten days. He said the on line ticket services are always dumping it on the Airlines by telling their customers to call the Airlines for refunds when they should do it. It seems to me that there is a need for Government regulation of both the Airlines and the On Line Ticket Services because they can not do it themselves.

Invest in America.

Invest in America.

Where should the hard earn tax money of the Working Class (or if you prefer Middle Class)? Some say just give it back to the tax payer as a Stimulus package, which did not work back in May, so even if we do like getting money in the mail it is a bad idea. Some say to use it to buy more war machinery to kill people that don’t think or look like us, another bad idea. A better idea is to invest it in rebuilding the Electrical Grid of our nation then we can have Mass transit running on electric power, Training people on how to install solar panels with people getting tax breaks for installing them like Germany has been doing for years. Installing more windmills and hydroelectric power all bring high paying jobs that can’t be shipped overseas. Building Electric cars that will replace Gas driven car completely. Improve our education system by studying what makes other countries education systems better than ours for our children are our future we should give them a New Deal.
