Wow, I can hardly believe that August is already here. Seattle is celebrating Seafair this weekend. Lots of city activities which lead up to a weekend of hydroplane racing and an air show by the Blue Angels. I always love it when the Blue Angels come to town.
So last I posted was just over a year ago in which my wife and I paid off our mortgage. I decided to take a break and relax some but in reality real world work took over and kept our office busy (which in this economy is a good thing). I also wanted to see how the economy would progress over the next few months.
I have to say that this time last year the US economy was plugging along albeit not at a brisk pace but at least there was growth. Oh how things have changed. Add new congress members and partisan politics and Jobs everyone was concentrating on last November somehow took a backseat to Obomacare (which has not started yet), financial reform (much ado about nothing) and lastly the debt ceiling. Just when you think we could move on after a last minute compromise S&P downgrades the US rating one notch from AAA, the first time in our history as a nation.
Disappointing to say the least. I truly believe the politicians have absolutely no clue on what to do so it is up to the citizens to take back our country and start to turn things around ourselves.
I have a sense of renewed vigor to be helpful in turning the economy around with PayOffTheMortgage.org. Maybe 2011 can still end on a good note. Keep believing.
