2009 should officially be called the year when upside down is right side up, when black is white, when wrong is right.  It’s as if we are all walking around in a dream world where everything we know to be common sense has been turned on it’s head.

2009 is the year when we decided that in order to get ourselves out of debt, we borrowed three times more than we borrowed the year before.

2009 is the year that we decided that in order to provide assistance to the unemployed, we gave trillions of dollars to the wealthy.  See stimulus 101, bank bailout 102, and the 2 trillion dollar Geitner printing press.

2009 is the year we decided that in order to allow capitalism and free markets to correct real estate prices, we lowered interest rates to zero and pulled the plug on home foreclosure proceedings.

2009 is the year we ushered in a new president to change things, and his first major policy initiative was exactly the opposite of what he campaigned to change.  President Obama’s stimulus package is more of the “failed Bush policies” he so correctly campaigned against.

2009 is the year that the media tells us that saving money is bad for the economy.  Huh?

2009 is the year that the media tells us that we borrowed too recklessly and spent too much borrowed money to fuel the economic depression the country now faces.  Wait-I thought saving money was bad for the economy?  Now I’m really confused…

2009 is the year Washington decided to print enormous amounts of money out of thin air, creating enormous inflation that is supposed to stabilize our economy.  That’s right, folks, by raising prices 300% across the board with all this excess money chasing too few goods (the definition of inflation), we are supposed to be able to help those millions of folks who just lost their jobs and must live off their savings until they find another job.  Huh?

After speaking with approximately 265 people in the last two weeks, I have determined that 2009 will be the year we all finally get it-that Washington is totally wrong.  We finally get it that Wall Street and Washington have moved so far off course that we know something  smells very wrong with all this bailout stuff.  Every single taxpayer I have spoken with is against the bailouts, the stimulus package and no longer has faith in Washington.  Rightfully so, we have finally begun to take notice.

We have finally begun to figure out the end game here.  Each and every “initiative” introduced by Washington and the Federal Reserve has one end game-to erode our savings and eliminate retirement for the majority of the baby boomer generation.  We are finally pushing to the side social issues and focusing on the meat and potatoes of what keeps us working every day-money.  The good that is coming out of this is that all of us are finally realizing that the media-from CNBC to Fox News to MSNBC are full of crap and are not to be taken seriously.

That will happen when you take away every one’s pensions.  People start to really pay attention.

Today’s Bizarro World will lead to tomorrow’s world of close scrutiny.  2009 will bring an end to petty political ideology disagreements for the greater good of all middle class families coming together in unity of purpose.  The brainwashing of the media has begun to lose it’s grip on us, as we increasingly begin to think for ourselves.

2009 begins our awakening.  It’s a wonderful time to be alive.
