Now I gather with the cyclical up and down of various economic indicators that optimism is not in vogue at this various moment in our cultural or fiscal permutations. We watch the gathering gloom forecasts as the European Union and the people who hold all the cards monetarily slip into unconscious mode seemingly from the security standpoint of risk assessments. Well we didn't get where we are either in an intellectual sense, monetary policy or becoming the standard for success not just on capitol investment strategies or political prowess both on local, state or federal initiatives, but also in our foreign policy.
If we so eloquently stand by and wait for the psychology to improve to where we are no longer sitting on our hands waiting for the other shoe to drop, we are going to, as my father puts it, not just what we are beginning to symbolically represent now, but in a very short span of time, become another lost and gone forever third world country. If profit motives of free enterprise and capitalism that is supposed to spur competition and innovation, where is the entrepreneurial stigmata attached to those inherent thoughts now.
Apply those optimistic attitudes that brought America to the forefront of all the characteristics that we symbolize in our way of life and get back to taking risks, as one man so judiciously put it, you have to spend money to make money. You can't flagellate yourself into a downward trend by waiting for other people's ebb and flow to calm the balances of nature, you just have to take the consequences of whatever decisions you tend to make, but don't go down with the ship by ignoring the obvious repercussions of sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone else to toss you a lifeline.
