3 weeks ago we were stuck in a Presidential campaign cycle. We had one candidate I would characterize as a establishment candidate supported by all the politicians that don’t have enough power and have been in our government way to long. The second candidate is a self proclaimed socialist, who has to be doing back flips based on our governments reaction to the Coronavirus. Lastly we have the current administration that seemed to be for smaller government and more freedom for the individual. Fast foreword 3 weeks and none of that is making news instead we are being force feed fear about a virus that is so deadly we need to social distance ( new label ) to survive. The only problem I have with that is, I would think by now I would know someone who as the virus or died from the virus but I don’t! I do however know a lot of people who have died financially from the government guidelines.
We should think carefully about allowing ourselves to become dependent on our government, one might say selling our sole to the devil. Right now it might seem like a good idea because the government is going to give money to people so they can financially survive this Pandemic. But what will be the real price be for the free money? Lets take our son who is a valet at a local casino that is now closed for 3 weeks. For him he can file for unemployment which sounds great except that 1 week of unemployment doesn’t even cover 1 night of tips. Although the government is feeling pretty good about it’s self I know my son is still worried about how he is going to survive and take care of his family.
Remember this is the oldest marketing strategy in the world; everything is free while you want it, but once you need it, now it becomes expensive. which government do you want;
We the people, by the people, and for the people.
We the government, by ourselves, and for ourselves.
November will be here before we know it. With all this new time we have on our hands hopefully we think about what kind of future we want for our country.
