As I watch the
news every night and ponder the good things that are being done at the massive
expenses and wonder…. “Who is paying for that?”
Major
disasters, campaigns, wars, protest, travel expense, police protection, signs
and posters all cost money. And somebody had to pay for it.
When the cost
turned from hundreds to thousands to millions to billons to trillions the mind
just boggles at who pays for this?
And the
political campaigns just reinforced the idea that WE have too much money and we
are wasting it away.
When you put in
a hard days work for a hard earned dollar and the expense of food and shelter
became affordable one accomplishes their basic needs. Then as time passes and
inflation and wants increase the basic needs become extravagant.
Whiles some
spend to accommodate their greed or spend to balance their tax burden or spend
to for unnecessary wants or spend from physiological distraction, but the point
is the money goes out.
Then you look
at a disaster with all the can goods and all the water and all the t-shirts,
and all the signs, and all the media coverage, and all the first responders and
you have to wonder… “Who pays for all of this?”
I guess we all
do.

"We do for them that can't and we speak for them as has no voice"
We do.
