Wednesday is a summit of achievement for a lot of working people that find themselves in the drudge and toil of lower middle class America. Small victories of just making it halfway through the routine work week are what get many of us through to the weekend. Anticipation of plans for those two glorious day off go from being days away to almost there. Even the glass half empty person is thinking of things to do, or not to do, during the weekly escape from the "other" life they lead 5 days a week.
Now here's a radical look at a way to bring jobs and prosperity back to America. Instead of giving money to all the irresponsible corporations and banks that got us into this mess, lets flip the work week and have five days off and work two. Give the money to businesses to hire more employees and research radical new ways to make it sustainable. All those new wage earning Americans will then have five full days to spend their newly acquired earnings patronizing these businesses thereby creating wealth and prosperity for the business and creating more tax base for local and national government.
Don't shoot me full of holes! It is merely wishful thinking and pure fantasy on my part. But it never hurts to dream big and for some in this disastrous economy, that is all they have left, their dreams!
No rant today.
