Today’s Blog Post

BITE YOUR TONGUE YOU IDIOT!

For my friends that know me… I have been biting my tongue this week… and I have bitten down hard! There has been so much to write about and yet I have tried desperately to not “say” – or “comment” on what was happening.

Yep – you may have guessed it… it was the start up of the Canadian Government again after the long three month lay off. The politicians were strutting their stuff. And I guessed correctly – there is nothing or no one happier than a Politician with a few hundred microphones stuck in his face.

Well I bit hard when they reported that they were going to re-write the National Anthem for Canada to be more inclusive for the Women – dropping the word “sons” for something else.

Immediately the aboriginal people (or someone mentioning them) said that the words “native land” needed to be changed. Someone else said that the Atheists would need the word God removed. The haters of old English wanted the Thees and Thous removed.

Our own MP had a new job given to him to chair a National Committee to look into the many nuances of the National Anthem Change.

Within two days the Prime Minister’s Office issued a decision/decree and the Anthem would not be changed! That was the shortest and biggest saving of money that they have done maybe since Canada became Canada.

I bit my tongue!

Then there was the huge Throne Speech. For 57 minutes or so the pretty lady read all of the long master piece of carefully crafted words. Canada’s Governor General Michaëlle Jean did very well. It was her last one as she will move on by July 2010. Great Lady of Grace to say the least.

The New Conservative Budget was presented by Jim Flaherty, the Minister of Finance. The dude should have known that No One Will Like it! And they didn’t!

I found it very comical that they had a “lock up room” for reporters and special interest groups during the Presentation of the Budget by Honourable Jim F. Like who frisked the people going in to that room for cell Phones and Computers with the wireless… UNLESS the Government spent more money on “jamming the signals” of these poor, defenceless reporters???

I bit my tongue hard!

But this is Saturday morning and I can unbite my tongue(I think). The Government has everything under control, the opposition party people are on Ski Holidays over this weekend or starting to enjoy the Maple Syrup that is being produced now.

There is one thing that is hard to understand is the Budget however. The amounts they are talking about and what each of us owe, my Grandkids will owe, my Great Grandkids and Great, Great, Great Grandkids will owe… kind of makes my head ache.

Can you imagine the spending that has gone on!!!? But stop – wait – when they spent the money – our money – who got it all? DUH – WE DID!? Simple answer.

Opposition Ninnies stood in front of Microphones and belched out the stupidity of what the Government’s Honourable Jim F. had stated. Not enough of this – not enough of that… blah, blah, blah!

Bite Back again Harder Murray!

The entire financial problem is so simple. WE HAVE ALL SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY and WE WANT WAY TOO MUCH – for more than we can ever afford.
We are a family that has spent our Christmas money for this year and the next five years – over this last Christmas time… and then wonder why we don’t have enough to buy food.

It doesn’t take the Honourable Jim F. to explain that to me!

Bite harder again Murray – BITE HARDER!

Now when Daddy comes to tell the kids that they have no more money for a treat this week… the kids scream and yell saying it is NOT FAIR! The kids next door get a much larger allowance than we do!!! We WANT MORE! And we want it NOW!

“Daddy” is the present Government. The “Kids” are the opposition members. The public are they people next door wondering what the Fuss is all about.

I know the answer for Canada. Plain and simple… I know it.

Let some of us that operate on a lot less money each week run our government.

Let a REAL MOM, that makes her 4 day budget amount stretch out over 7 days, run our country.

Let real people that remember what it is like to be careful when there simply is not enough money to go around.

Her/Their kids will grow up appreciating everything more… even though they had less.

Give them everything they want and they will appreciate nothing and always demand more.

Could it be that we now have an entire population that lives that way? Or is it just the people that live and work in our Government?

Now if I was in Politics… BITE YOUR TONGUE YOU IDIOT! That aint gonna happen!
