Today’s Tip: These ARE the Good Ole Days

I am going out on a limb here by declaring that these are the good old days RIGHT NOW! Before everyone thinks that I am smoking the wacky weed, let me explain. I am aware that things are really bad right now, but unfortunately, they are going to get worse. We will look back in 5-10 years from now and long for these days (the good ole days of 2010).

Everyone just assumes that the US economy must improve over time. Where is this rule written? In fact, I look back just 25 years ago to the neighborhood where I grew up and it is definitely not improving. In fact, it is far from it. Shops and restaurants have closed and no new development is occurring. It has been on a downward trend for quite some time now and I don't see anything in the works to turn that around.

We have gotten ourselves into such a mess, that it is going to take actions that we (as a society) are probably not comfortable taking; and probably won't. Thus, just like my childhood hometown, we are going to continue down this broken road with very little hope of turning over a new leaf.
