The other night I was listening to some reports of what is going on fiscally in our country, I was alarmed at the news I was getting.
Despite Government reassurances to the contrary, 93,000 more home foreclosures and an increase in spending of only .01% shows that the recession is DEFINITELY not over.
The next thing that came up was that The U.S. has less scheduled vacation days than ANY other country. And only about half of them get used because people are either afraid of going on vacation and losing their jobs or they are so overworked that they simply cannot afford to go away for any time because the work would pile up too much.
Meanwhile I hear that in the next couple of days the president and his family are going for a ten day getaway to Martha’s vineyard just a week or two after Mrs. Obama got back from a week long junket in Spain and the whole family went down to Florida last weekend.
I only could wish that I got half the vacation time the president does… heck even a couple of weeks would be nice.
We need elected officials in position who understand the public will listen to the public and who will work at least as hard as the average public person.
This makes 6 (SIX) vacations this year alone!
WOW I wish I could do that.
