So far, my eyes are not as bad as they were for several days. The entire month of July was mostly lost but at least eye am still here and eye have hope.

According to news sources, Obama says "Spirit of innovation" is the key to the future. Mr. O had better be taking his case for fixing the present to the voters so that pressure can be put on Congress to repair some of the mess from the past. I have yet to see any meaningful legislation to control big business, big banking, and big Wall Street. What does a salary cap on fat-cat executives prove? It shows us that Congress has our best interests at heart. Like hell, it does. It shows us that meaningless legislation to make themselves look good is as rampant as ever. The only thing that has changed in Washington in the past three decades are the shiny new faces in office. They still have the same grubby and greedy hands as the theives they replaced. Reagonomics has been a real blessing for them and big business, but it has ripped the heart out of our nation. The soul of America has been sold to anyone whom has a dirty dollar.

When all the accounts have been counted, we will find that a large majority of the stimulus money has not been used for what was intended. The 15 percent of "normal" funding wastage will be more like 30 percent, and much of the money that is being trickled into infrastructure projects is being siphoned off by unscrupulous contractors and officials. One place some of the funds could be used is near my home. A few years back, the city built a park near where I live that is now heavily used by people from all over town and a big part of the county, but they have yet to widen a narrow and dangerous street that leads to it. There have been numerous auto accidents, but the park is not in well-to-do North Johnson City and the street widening is on the back burner and will likely remain there while they study old bricks and trolley lines in downtown. They are now planning a similar 'take Rover for a walk" park in the northen part of town which will push our area further back on the "poor south-west side" list. Money talks.
