Day Twelve, Do You Know Where The Deadbeat Dad Is?

Yes, here we are and "Deadbeat Dad" Joe Walsh, the illustrious Congressman from Illinois is still ignoring the law while he sits in his seat in Congress. I do not know about you but $117,000 is a large enough sum, that by ignoring it he is able to afford more luxuries for himself. Please call your Congress person and demand that the "Deadbeat Dad" remove himself from a position of authority. "Joe Walsh you are a Deadbeat Dad and your Fired."

Invest In America Part II

    Yesterday I asked a series of questions about what you have spent your money on and then I asked you to, think about if we should invest in America. My point was simple. Every day we invest (spend) on numerous items and there are reasons we do what we do.      When we change the oil in our cars or do any other maintenance on vehicles, we are investing in that item. We know by maintaining our cars it will perform at its optimum and for a longer period of time. The infrastructure in America is just like our cars. We must maintain them and they will perform for a longer time. In the case of our highways and bridges, we have looked to save money and we have failed to do the necessary maintenance to keep them strong. We need to reverse this trend and work on highways and bridges.
     Do any of you remember the home phone from the sixties? It was attached to the wall with a short cord. When we talked on the phone we had to sit right beside it. When we called someone we had a rotary dial and when the phone rang we did not know who it was until we picked it up. Not like today, when we can screen our calls and decide if we want to talk to the person at the other end. When we watched TV the only remote was my Mother or Father saying, " John get up and change the channel." It wasn't too bad because there was only a dozen or so channels to surf. Only took a minute. My point is do we like this new technology, that we have today? Do we want to go back to the sixties and use the limited devices we had then?  Likewise why do we balk at investing in technology, such as electrical grids, green technology, new water and sewer lines, new and better wired schools and space exploration. These again are the things we need to modernize in order to make our lives better, simpler and save money.
     When you put all of these things together, it is very clear that we do not invest in America and The American people. We are trying to keep the costs low and reduce taxes, but at the same time we are mortgaging our futures and the future of all that follow us. We have to built newer and better systems around the country. We have to take advantage of new technology to upgrade everything around us. Our schools are falling down physically and educationally. We are trying to pinch pennies and in the long run it will cost us more.                                                                                                                                       The people that say we have to cut our budget has it wrong. We have to do BIG things. We have to make this country great and a leader in everything we do. The time to accept defeat is past. The time to accept victory is now. We have to use Federal, State, Local and Private money to get us moving forward. If we invest in ourselves, more jobs will be created, which will increase revenue, which will increase jobs and then the ball keeps rolling. We have to start with the initial investment and then let the market take it from there. This is how the economy will grow once again. It is very simple. We invest in America and then we can grow, save money and become the greatest nation on earth, again.

Deadbeat Daddy Day Eleven

I wanted to make sure everyone remembers that Deadbeat Dad, Congressman Joe Walsh is still in Congress. He continues to ignore the welfare and responsibility to his children. They should be taken care of financially just as much as every other child in America. They were probably proud of Daddy when he became a Congressman. I wonder how they feel about him now. I wonder if their mother has had to spend countless hours worrying about how to maintain the lifestyle for her children, while Daddy was away in Washington, pretending to care about anything or anyone but himself. Congressman Walsh I am once again asking you to do the right thing and resign. Not only are you a sleazy human being you are a law breaker and do not deserve to be a member of Congress. Resign Now. To my followers pass this on to everyone. Deadbeat Dad needs to go!

Have You Ever Made An Investment In Yourself?

   I want each of you to think of something. What have you invested in? We start by thinking of investments as placing money into an account and hoping that the money will grow into a large amount that will help us retire or obtain some other goal. In reality we investment money and time into many different things and people in the hopes that our investment will accomplish some goal we have set.
   Have you ever changed the oil in your car? Did you spend money for your own, your spouse, your children's or your grand children's education? Did you spend money on owning a car? Did you ever spend money on buying a home? Once you were in that home did you spend money on, updating the electrical, plumbing, carpeting, tile floors, wood floors, update the kitchen, paint the interior or exterior, put in a pool, new windows, put in energy efficient appliances, air conditioner or water heater?  Have you spend money on a medical checkup or procedure to screen for a particular disease? Have you spent money on medical checkups for your children? Have you ever spent money to loose weight? Have you ever spent money on new exercise equipment or join a fitness center. Have you ever placed money in the collection plate at your place of worship? These are a few of the ways we spend money.
    Now you may be asking yourself, "Why is he asking me these questions." My point is that each time we spend money we are in essence investing in ourselves or our families. We spend sometimes to save larger expenses down the road, such as when we change the oil in our cars or have medical checkups. We invest our money in education, knowing that the chances of a better job, higher wages and a better life are accomplished if we do this investment. We buy a home or place money in investment accounts hoping that they increase in value and help to give us security in the future ( although this now is in jeopardy). When we spend money to loose weight or join a health club, we are investing in a healthier and happier person. Even when we place money in the collection plate we are investing in the idea of Christianity and the hope of a better afterlife.
    My last question to you is this. If investing in ourselves and our families can in the long run, cost us less money, make us more productive, make us happier, make us healthier and make us more prosperous, then why do we not invest money into our country? Think about it!

Day Ten and "Deadbeat Dad" still has a job!

Alright here we are, on day number ten since Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh was sued by his wife for $117,000 in child support. Still no responses from the Republicans or the Tea Party or Mr. Walsh. I can only come to the conclusion they do not support the idea that parents have, not just a moral responsibility but a financial responsibility to take care of their children. We are told that parents have to support children and meet their needs. We have laws that are in place, with the intended purpose of making parents meet that responsibility. Maybe it is the view of Republicans and the people on the right to only make average Americans pay. Since Mr. Walsh is white, wealthy and a member of Congress, then I am wondering if that precludes him from the law. I can then, once more, come to another conclusion. If you are a minority, poor or middle class and not a member of Congress then the laws pertain to you. I am glad that the class system is alive and well in America. So once again I will ask, Mr. Walsh when are you going to do the honorable thing and, number one pay to support your children and number two, resign?

Nine Days And The Deadbeat Dad is still in Congress

Day nine and nobody in Congress has brought up the fact that "Deadbeat Dad" Joe Walsh still has his seat in Congress. I am waiting for the outcry from his fellow lawmakers, or is that lawbreakers, to demand Walsh step down. No wonder our country has the problems we are facing. The very people who claim to make and uphold the laws of America are busy ignoring them. Congress sets itself above the very people it is supposed to serve. They are there to set examples and to obey laws, not break them. Everybody reading this should pass it on to their friends and relatives. Joe Walsh should become the poster child for deadbeat Dad's (parents) across the country. He owes over $117,000 and counting. One of the reasons we all pay more in taxes is people like Walsh, ignore their responsibilities to pay for and raise their children. Deadbeat parents all over the country have to be asking themselves, "Why do I have to pay if members of Congress are allowed to slide by?" Joe Walsh, from Illinois, you are a deadbeat Dad and the time has come to RESIGN.

Day Eight and Congressman Joe Walsh Is Still Here!

Eight days ago on July 28th Illinois, Congressman Joe Walsh was sued for $117,000, nonpayment of child support. I am still waiting for the outrage from the right. I am still wondering why, when a federal law has been violated, a Congressman still gets to sit in his seat. Each day I will make everyone aware of his refusal to take responsibility for his own children. I do not want to hear that he has not had any hearings on the matter.  Anthony Weiner was guilty of taking pictures of himself in his underwear and lying about it. Where was his hearing? There was only the relentless, right pounding on him to resign. Pictures of a man in his underwear is funny, sad, stupid, immoral, ridiculous, sophomoric, childish, repulsive and any other term you want to assign to it, but it is NOT ILLEGAL. Failure to pay child support is both immoral and illegal. Joe Walsh you must resign, now.
