Stimulated!

It’s 4:57 a.m., and I can’t sleep. The stimulus has gotten to me. I dreamed last night that a decision has been reached in Washington. Each one of us will soon receive our own printing machine, capable of printing our own money. The only hang-up is we must send Washington half of what we print.
That’s still not bad! We won’t need to worry any more if bad decisions are made by congressmen. From now on, each family can just spend their way out of daily problems. You know, the same as our government. Spend, spend, spend!
You know what? I save, save and save, until I’m able to purchase some of the big-ticket items. No monthly payments, no interest paid. My parents taught me to live within my means, help out as many less fortunate people as I could, and that I would be blessed. They were right.
I look back over my 70 years living in this great country, and it just doesn’t make sense how we have replaced good old common sense with ungodly regulations.
Education funding may be put on the back burner again. It has been on and off, cut and increased and now I don’t know where they left it. We don’t really care about our teachers, students’ success in learning or upkeep of our school buildings and equipment. How can our government not put the education of our young people at the top of the list?
I have been over-stimulated with the mess in Washington. I feel it would do me good to take my car out into a muddy field and do figure eights until the rubber on the tires is gone.
You want to hear other people who are frustrated? Go to Ray’s Restaurant and sit at the front “Table of Knowledge.” I’ve been going since 1983, and now I don’t know what to believe.  Jake Cannon, Dothan, AL.
