Missed Opportunity

How many times have I heard American is experiencing an economical crisis, if in appearance but psychologically rooted? We suffer from a lack of trust in our institutions – government, Wall Street, banking, auto manufacturing, housing, etc… We have nowhere to turn and put our trust. The economic crisis and responding actions taken haven’t been fair to those of us who didn’t go into debt, or didn’t borrow beyond our means, or didn’t spend our future on those things we wanted today.

These days Americans ask what can we trust in? What is there to believe in? Bennie Madoff, Tim Geithner, Barney Franks, Santa Claus?

And the answer is quite simple. Look at your dollar. Sorry. Flip over that last penny in your pocket. Read what our Founding Fathers declared.

Let’s not forget the basics. In God we Trust. If that is too simple for you, or you just scoffed, I ask, “What are you trusting these days?”
