If you're looking for
predictions, the writing is on the wall. 2009 may be looking at a worldwide economic collapse and if so, we might should be mounting impenetrable shutters on our windows and stockpiling guns and ammunition. This may be a year that makes the
Great Depression look like a walk-in-the-park. That's just the other-side-of-coin; my prediction is that we will have it tough for the first half of the year, but Americans are a strong people with an insurmountable will to survive. With a great faith in our God, and ourselves we will turn our problems around and not with the drastic measures of savages.
With the bailout requirements (weeding out the greedy and the false company figureheads), our major auto makers should dig out of the hole in which they have buried themselves. All organizations-whether it be manufacturing, movie industries, medical, or whatever-should do away with their Unions. Unions are the biggest money drains in recent history. In the early years the Unions were a worthy and constructive organization, however, as with all big-money; the greedy saw a way to cut the pie to their advantage, leaving the working man out in the cold. There are laws in place now that protect the rights of workers-Unions are no longer needed and a great waste of money. People must start thinking with the brain that God gave them-not allowing
carpetbaggers of the Twenty-first Century pick their pockets!
What will President Obama do for our country in 2009? What do
I think he will do for, or bring to our country?----He will bring us together as a unit-not individuals of black, white, Indian, Hispanic, etc., etc.,---a hand-sown patchwork quilt of great beauty. He will help us to work together for the good of the country instead of concentrating on
what I need, what I want. He will help to create new jobs that will get the people back in their homes and back on their feet.
Affordable healthcare is another issue that Obama will be facing, but we may not see him make any front-page changes right away. This is only because of the more pressing issues of our soldiers dying in Iraq, building schools, and exploring new forms of energy-all of these will create new jobs. Healthcare reform will take more time and money to generate a real and true fix. I predict that it will happen, but it will take time.
Consumer electronics which helped the electronics industry to keep its head above water during the ending months of 2008 will continue to lead the market in 2009. By that I predict that new innovations in Iphones, laptops, digital cameras, flat-screen TVs, and so on will lead the pack in making great leaps in the coming new year months. And we all know that the automotive industry will be leaving no rocks unturned to come up with newer and better technologies for fuel-efficient vehicles for the New Year. One grave issue that they absolutely must conquer is the low quality of the American-made vehicles. Our American workers have always wanted more money for less work and poorer quality. It is a must that they learn to take pride in what they produce and win back the American consumer.
As far as resolutions, I don't make them--they are just something that goes in one Year and out the other.
2009 just by its dire beginning could very well be our banner year. We know where we're heading and with a little effort from each and every one of us, we could make it just that-
A Year of Great Change.
I predict there will be much praying.
