**Rant Alert**

I can not believe it, I have chosen to use only cash and not credit any longer.  To this end I have closed all of my credit cards.  Well I am traveling on business today and needed to rent a car.  Low and behold I am scum for wanting to use cash, my debit card!  I was outraged.  With the state of our economy and the crisis of credit today you would think a person who uses cash would be treated like, oh I don't know, everyone else!  But no I cost me extra to pay with cash.  They get their money faster and they have the same access to additional funds as they do with a credit card yet they weren't happy at all.

Our wonderful nation is in big trouble if we must have credit to function.  I for one am not going to fold.  I won't do it and you can't make me.  We need to take our nation back and this is my stand.

 No more credit!

Ok done ranting.  :D

What is America going to be in the next 10 years?  With the outflow of jobs going everywhere else and the crashing economy and the predatory government taxation; what are we going to be?

We can’t be a bedroom community because no one will be able to afford to live here.  There won’t be any jobs to pay for anything and huge numbers of people are going into bankruptcy and financial ruin.

I am not a doomsayer or pessimist at all I am just trying to figure out what our government thinks when they tax us to death and all of our companies give our jobs away.  100’s of thousands of jobs have left our country in the past few years and now everyone is starting to worry about it?

I am interested in your thoughts.
