Did the Recession Affect Your Christmas Like it Did Mine?

No matter where you live in this country, whatever your economic status or the type of work you do, you are either being affected by this current recession or you know someone who is. Americans (we, the people), all over this great nation are losing their homes, losing their jobs, losing their hope and are feeling powerless because of this crisis.

With all the foreclosures, all the failed banks, huge investment firms closing and with credit tightening, our economy is in crisis! There is plenty of blame going around. The Democrats blame the Republicans and vice versa, the Feds blame the mortgage companies, the lenders blame the homeowners.

Our leaders don’t seem to have the answers necessary to stem the tide. Big bucks are being passed around Washington that help the large corporations that, frankly, helped cause these problems in the first place.

Next to nothing is being done to help the little guy, you and me.

So, what CAN be done? First, to take back our economy, we need to leave the blame game to the talking heads. We can continue to listen to them and place our hopes in Washington politicians, wringing our hands and continue to feel powerless – OR we can choose not to participate, take matters into our own hands and . . . . .

BOYCOTT THE RECESSION!

Recession is money not moving. Lowered sales create slowed production, which causes jobs to be lost, so families have less to spend, which then keeps dollars dormant and not circulating. It’s a vicious cycle that can only be stopped by intelligent intervention.

Our Government may not have gotten it right when they sent out stimulus checks to the entire population, but stopping spending isn’t the answer either.

It seems counter-intuitive, but the very last thing we should be doing when money flow starts to slow is to stop spending our money. The only remedy for a recession is to get cash flowing in our economy again. It’s up to the American consumer to control this recession – and don’t think for a moment that we cannot!

Alice Walker (author of “The Color Purple”) once said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”

The day has come when we, the people, have to take a stand. We didn’t start this. But we can help ourselves and help each other end it by moving our money more wisely.

It has become clear that our leaders don’t really know exactly what to do to handle this recession.

We, the people, must take matters into our own hands.

Are YOU ready to put an end to the recession? Are you ready to do your part to become financially secure? I AM! That's why I've decided NOT to participate in this recession!
