What do you do in Washington when there
is a crisis?
Have a meeting. Isn't that the way it is across
this great land?
So many meetings, and so little gets accomplished.
In my own company, which is now a liitle over
four years old, we have never had a meeting.
Not one.
I have a friend in the hotel business, and they have
meetings every day. Sometimes he attends two or
three meetings a day. If that ever happens here it
will be a sure sign that I should sell the business.
Rule # 4 in Whelanetics is: NO MEETINGS!
If we took all the time that people spend in
useless meetings and made it productive
we would certainly usher in a new era of
prosperity.
There were reports yesterday that Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid was so angry
that he almost passed out. My question is,
when is Harry Reid not angry? If ever a guy
was born that had a scowl tattooed on his
face it would be Harry Reid.
But there he is, fighting to fix the economy, along
with 535 other idiots, most of whom have never
held a real job in the private sector. These guys
couldn't fix a tricycle if they had all the parts, tools,
and a blueprint in front of them.
Then of course there's the fact that they accept
campaign contributions from the guys who are
crying for help. Those would be the guys passing
out $66 billion dollars of bonuses for the fine
performance of their companies.
The fox is not only in the henhouse, but now
has a nice little condo in the corner.
Can this economy be fixed? Yes. But it won't happen
in Washington and Wall Street. It will happen on Main
Street USA, where people try to live within their means.
Where people work hard and follow the rules.
Their reward? Higher taxes. And higher taxes.
All because some guys never know when enough
is enough.
Including all the members of Congress, and a
good number of Wall Street CEO's. The Obamessiah
has called for change.
Be careful what you wish for. It's already at your doorstep.
From the big saddle,
Jim Whelan
The Chairman of the Board
