Labor? Yes, please.

No matter what a few vocal folks may think and even say, the American people want to WORK!!  We've heard all the reasoning and all the criticism and all the finger pointing and the hand-wringing over deficits, but where are the plans, the real plans for creating jobs, the one sure-fire way to crank up this economy?  Might we have to spend a little to get things rolling?  Perhaps, but the benefits far outweigh the cost.  Companies talk about being on track, making record profits, wanting to produce more, but the demand is not there.  Well, put people to work, and they'll be out shopping in no time.  Ahhhhhh, the vicious cycle, the luscious, vicious cycle in this case.  Who will start it rolling, though?  Can we depend on those same companies flourishing through the American way to contribute to the recovery?  Well, some actually are and have been all along.  Despite hardships, many have refused to layoff workers or cut salaries.  They found a way to appreciate and protect the heart of the company, those who produce the goods, who keep the business machine running.  Bottom line?  We hear people talking about their ability to get our economy back on track.  Well, share that NOW, not if you get elected or if you get appointed or if you get the contract or IF anything.  Got real ideas, plans that will work?  Share, please, and I guarantee you'll win the hearts and minds of the thinking and caring majority.  Labor Day indeed.  Put us all back to work.  THAT will heal the economy.    

Keep the faith?

Needless to say, I was hoping to encourage my followers to stay with me, but as I looked at my subject line, I realize that needs to be a general mantra for us all.  How I wish we could join voices and drown out the loud clanging of negative tongues wagging!  Still, more noise will not change things.  Plus, arguing with those who thrive on the news of disaster (not the disaster itself) wastes precious energy.  Let them rail, let them rant, let them wallow in the darkness.  We shall shine a quiet yet brilliant light and turn our enthusiasm and vivacity into inspiration and action and results.  Guess what?  We only need to join the already teaming throng of good people who don't talk about what they're doing.  They DO!!  Open your eyes and see, my friends.  All around us lie progress and improvement and smiling workers making a difference never expecting lauds and laurels.  They revel in and celebrate what they do see, what they know inside, what makes them always hopeful.  So keep the faith?  Why yes, I believe we will because we HAVE.  We reap the rewards and willingly share with and help others.  See?  Grab your happy goggles and floaties and go with the flow.  Soon, as we recover from actual floods, we shall merrily wash up stream on the welcome, raging roar of growth and prosperity.  Come on in; the water's fine!!
