9,999,999 Tears

I was listening to this old country song on my new Ipod the other day.

The sun didn't shine this morning
It's been raining the whole day through
Suddenly without warning
You found somebody new
That's when the first tear came
Falling from my eyes
I'm beginning to feel the pain
Seeing nothing but clouds in the sky

Got 9,999,999 tears to go
And then I don't know if I'll be over you
Will I be over you

I have heard the expression "cry me a river", and 10 million tears could very well produce a river. Its hard to imagine 10 million of anything, be it tears, people, or even dollars. What could 10 million dollars buy you? Better yet what could 1 trillion dollars buy you? I guess our new president can imagine it. This new 1 trillion dollar stimulus bill is nothing more than a payback to the organizations that got Mr. Obama elected. If you don't believe me, just look up the bill and see for yourself. Mass spending by the government does not stimulate the economy. You must put money back into the hands of the taxpayers, for we are the ones that keep the economy going. How in the world will we ever pay back a trillion dollar loan?

Do you realize that if Christopher Columbus had 1 trillion dollars in hand when he discovered America, and spent 4 million each day, he would still have money left as of right now? We cant afford to mortgage future generations.

The borrower is slave to the lender.

My heart goes out to those that have lost their jobs in this economy, but the only way to solve this problem is tax cuts. It is time to hold Washington accountable. I just pray it is not too late.

...those are the thoughts... on this cowboys mind.
