Let’s Stop Fighting And Help Those in Need
This is what I wrote on June 30th.
Good News For Consumers/ Demand For Gasoline Down
And today on the radio they said that the price of gasoline was down 53 percent from its highs. A bit of good news amidst the economic chaos. And so a lot of prices will be coming down. And a lot of crazy practices on Wall Street will be outlawed. Perhaps people will not be able to buy houses they cannot afford as well.
Perhaps we will all live closer to our means. And sleep better at night even if the rain comes in the roof of our 1940′s era home.
I know it is going to be very difficult for some. I feel most for those guys with families who are going to lose their jobs and their homes. I feel for their wives and children. Gasoline at two dollars per gallon is not going to do much for them at first.
But maybe it will help to revive the economy and create new jobs.
We really need to establish places for families to stay who are caught in the economic nightmare. The schools and the churches need to be used to provide shelter for families at night. Groups need to be formed to make them comfortable and as cheerful as possible.
Families who need shelter are different from individuals who need shelter. Perhaps that sounds controversial but I believe that a family that includes children is not going to take advantage of a shelter program most of the time. Someone who had a job with a corporation and applies for shelter this week with his or her kids is someone who genuinely needs help. They join others with genuine needs for shelter.
Conservatives and liberals can come together to make this happen. I see it happening all across America. Conservatives are willing to help once they understand the need is genuine. Liberals have much less of a problem in that area. THIS SITUATION should bring them together.
Liberals are going to have their wishes fulfilled in Congress and the White House. Maybe now we can all come together and create a closer nation where people help each other instead of fighting all the time.
