A total of 3 million dollars. Of that, 800,000 of it is scheduled to be used to repair the Adams apartments. Which is a low income housing project that has fallen into disrepair. Broken doors, windows and other improvements will be made. I suppose that is good if you work for a window company; the rest of the money is scheduled to be used to help with utility shuttoffs and similar assistance programs. But I am not sure how another hand out program is going to create jobs. You know, I can't help but ask my self what if. Suppose that $$700 billion of the bailout package had been used differently, istead of spending it on banks and the car companies. What if it was spent as incentives to bring companies that moved to Mexico and China back into the US? Then, when Americans are building cameras again, they go back to work, because Sony received enough money to make it worth doing business in America. Americans can pay their mortgage, and that saves the banks. And just maybe, if it works well enough, some folks might buy a new car, and that saves the car companies. Seems more intelligent than spending it on companies that are getting rid of employees. And just maybe, if law makers were really smart, they would repeal the NAFTA act, which caused this loss of jobs in the first place. Then we wouldn't have needed to spend the 700 billion at all. And just maybe, Americans will take a little pride in themselves again when they see shelves with goods that are quality, well made, and MADE IN AMERICA! We don't need another bailout or handout. We just need a little self respect. We do hope you enjoy today's issue Cordially Martin aka the postman __________________ THE COMICS what's it gonna be http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r061.html male training http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r062.html its clean already http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r063.html problem at the ballet http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r064.html self improvement http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r066.html a little early http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r067.html Embarrasment http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r068.html Its not cheating http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/r070.html LETS GO TO THE MOVIES fixing a tire http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5012.html need my drink http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5013.html Immegrant song http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5014.html hard boiled eggs http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5015.html Hartford 911 call-wav file http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5016.html Barbie turns 50 http://www.thepostmanscorner.net/da/movies5017.html Two old guys were sitting in the park, talking, when the subject turned to getting older. The first guy said, "Women have all the luck when it comes to getting older." "What do you mean?" asked the second guy. "Well," replied the first. "I can barely remember the last time I was able to get it up in bed, but my wife - she's healthier than ever!" "Healthier? How is that?" his buddy wondered. "Years ago, when we were younger, almost every night before bed she'd get these terrible headaches." He answered. "Now that we're older, she hasn't had a headache in years." _____________ You might be a redneck if... Your front porch collapses and kills more than three dogs. You might be a redneck if...

Would you be good enough to tell me where the library is at?" The student, in a very arrogant and belittling tone, replied, "I'm sorry, sir, but at this school, we are taught never to end a sentence with a preposition!" The gentleman smiled, and in a very apologetic tone replied, "I beg your pardon. Please allow me to rephrase my question. Would you be good enough to tell me where the library is at, dummy?" ______________ There was a clerk in a small town general store in the South. One day, a tall man entered the store and began filling a shopping cart with items. This man was so distinctive in that he could have been the official spokesperson for Quaker Oats. He was dressed in black, very tall and had that hat just like the Quaker Oats guy wears. Well, the clerk had never seen a Quaker before, let alone talked to one. When the man reached the counter with his selections the clerk could hardly contain himself. "Are you a Quaker"? he asked as he was trying to ring up the merchandise. "Yes," the tall man said with a little edge in his voice. "No joke?" asked the clerk, "You're really a real Quaker?" The man, looking a little more perturbed, said, "Yes, I am a real Quaker." "Wow!" the young clerk said, "I never seen a real Quaker before. Would you say something in Quaker talk for me?" asked the clerk. The tall man ignored this request and waited for his merchandise to be tallied up. As clerk finished ringing up the sale he said, "Please mister, say something in Quaker talk?" The man finally leaned over the counter in a gesture of secrecy. The clerk leaned forward in order to hear the quiet reply. The man said, "Screw Thee." _____________ THAT'S ALL FOLKS Have a nice day FROM: Martin aka the postman |
