I Want 6 Figures Too!

I was just watching the CBS Evening News and heard a report that our government is going to be bailing out the Salmon fishermen with our tax dollars. The report said that the fishermen will get to pick their best fiscal year between 2002-2007 and the government will match that amount and write them a check. When asked why the government should provide this financial assistance the junior senator from California stated: "They lost their ability to go out and make a living." WOW!
Katie Couric then reminded every watching that the payout to households who were victims of Katrina only received about $2,500 each.
I'm disgusted.

Tragedy, Rage, Courage

I'm learning over and over again to rely on the words of the Serenity Prayer:
"God, Grant me the Serenity to Accept the Things I Cannot Change; the Courage to Change the Things I Can, and the Wisdom to Know the Difference."
