A couple of thoughts to start the new year. These thoughts are related to the profound concentration the press in this country gives to negative news and/or fabricated news about how we are doing as a nation and where we are going financially. First and foremost it can’t be denied that we have been told for years that we are doomed and none has any money to spend. You may have noticed we just had a kickass Christmas. Once the numbers started coming in we were told they would not hold up. Well they did and the press has been silent. Weird? I don’t think so. They can’t stand good news so they just don’t mention it. Want more? What was our greatest export last year? Remember “Drill baby drill” from a few short years ago because we were ostensibly forever dependent on far east oil? Not true again. The biggest export was oil and related products. Moreover, in a few short years we will be the biggest producer in the world! Did you know there is an oil and natural gas boom going on in this country that is going to lead us into our next economic boom? Why do you suppose you are reading it here as opposed to mainstream press? It doesn’t fit their model of reporting fear. More of that in future comments. Have a good new year.
