I was listening to the radio while stacking yesterday. Just my little MP3 player and it only has FM, so I was stuck with OPB.
Our Dear Leader had a twitter conference. How wonderfully modern.
I didn't get the exact quote but it appears our new economic plans is to spend more money and look for the "next best thing," to boost the economy.
I asked the farmer I was stacking for what he thought and he went ballistic.
He is old fashioned and thinks Our Dear Leader needs to stop spending money we don't have. He also thinks people will not spend money on their horses and on his expensive hay when they hear idiotic economic schemes like this.
I suggested perhaps Our Dear Leader next plan would be to take a billion dollars to the nearest Indian Casino and double it in the "High Roller Room."
That scheme followed by taking meth is the first thing that comes to mind when encounter locals who pursue "The Next Best Thing," as a matter of business practice.
From practical experience it seems that paying down debt and not spending money are the first things to do in a business crisis. Maxing the credit cards and buying new Farm Equipment leads to the casino and meth situation.
But what do I know, I'm not even a real farmer...Now I'm off to pick up bales for someone else and I don't have third gear. I use third gear a lot. I wonder if the whole transmission will lock up on 99W or better yet, in downtown Amity, or on a railroad track, or when it is 102 degrees outside.
Anyone have a spare Eaton 5 speed they want to loan me?
Or 1.2 million dollars so I can get the !@#$%^& out of here and go to surf school in Costa Rica?

Budde, I agree with your debt handling theories. Although I am a real farmer I have follwed the practice of staying out of debt as much as possible for years. That makes me a little bit unusual in today's farming community I guess.
ReplyDeleteThey just refuse to stop spending money! All this talk about loopholes for millionaires doesn't even matter. We are spending trillions!
