Well here we are again. We just got our Debt Ceiling increased and some Spending cuts in the out years. That is not what we need. We need cuts in spending now to stop this upward spiral that will cost all of us for many rears to come. We as the public can not operate this way because we can not print money. We need comprehensive tax reform that cuts out subsidies, reduces tax rates, eliminate capital gains tax, and the death tax. I am sure I left some things out but we need to have a solid plan so businesses know what to expect 10 years from now. These are the Businesses that are going to hire our Millions of unemployed.
This Administration took their eye off the ball and worked only on Heath Care. I am sure there are many that think this was a great thing and in ways it is, but there is so much tax law in this Bill that it will all come out after this current President is gone. The cost to all of us will be so much higher than projected that I really hurt when I think what is coming down the pike. I will be retired when the sh…hits the fan and it will if this program remains. We need smaller government that works for us not their political future.
Now the July statistics. We are again just in a holding pattern but not going down. What has gone down is the interest rate. We are under 4.5% for the moment and you need to act soon as it will probably stay under 5% for a few months. Some of the important numbers are down some but that has changed each month for this past year. I am still looking at a more stable market in the last quarter.
