[Land-speed] POLITICAL non rant 15 min.

[Rich Fox]

In the past, if my finances became shaky, I knew that I had to cut spending
and maybe work OT or sell something to increase income. I could hope for the
lottery. But in truth, I knew I had to spend less and if possible make more. I
realize the national economy is not that simple. But I am affraid it's still
the only thing that works. If you have waited to long, maybe nothing works. I
know my savings is becoming worth less and less at an alarming rate. I can cut
back. But not a lot. Not much OT at being retired.  RF

> "In Liberity",  .......... New word?  Liberty in Liberal
world?  I doubt it was that kind of Freudian slip from Sparky.
More like
liberty in a world where we have to pay our bills and quit borrowing?
It ain't
gonna be fun, kiddies.....

I know you all can do arithmetic.  Like figuring
tire size or gear change to get the right rpm at the speed you need to
qualify, figuring your cubic inches after the cleanup bore on an engine block
or the amount of nitro to add to the mixing jug to add 10% to the mix.  If you
know how to multiply and divide then certainly you know how to add and
subtract.

So here you are, 3 mph under the record with your last chance to
get in line today and barely enough time to mix up some fuel.  There's the jug
of nitro staring at you and there you are visualizing pistons with holes in
them. ........ And the dark clouds are gathering over the Silver Island
Mountains.  And your plan B is take down the tarp, cover the race car, batten
down the trailer and head for Wendover.

Now go look up the real breakdown of
the federal budget on the internet, study it for a few minutes and then tell
us what you want to cut and where to make it balance and when is a good time
to make those tough decisions.

It's like whether you want to review your run
records, carefully calculate the fuel mix for the next run think about it and
wait for the cool air of tomorrow morning.  Or simply listen to the smart ass
on your crew, the one who doesn't have any financial stake in the race car,
who wants to dump the whole jug of nitro into the fuel, say a prayer and go
get in line.
