Economic Woes and Wisdom

The tech bubble burst. The housing market is in a precipitous decline with much more on the horizon. Just wait until the Baby Boomers start downsizing, it will get really fun then.
Now that has rolled over to clock the banking industry on the chin as they take the reaping effect of what they unwisely sowed. The government is in a tizzy trying to find an answer while likely cooking up something else to make it worse. (How much have they gotten right in the last 60 years?)

The economy is now declared in a slowdown, recession or pre-depression depending on who you speak with. And your 401k retirement plan is closer to a 200.5f work for eternity.

Government, business and many individuals alike forgot that old piece of wisdom. Do not spend more than you make. Positive numbers are better than negative. Being in the black is better than in the red. Too much red and you’ll be financially dead. So now we reap what we have sown.

In this time of economic strife, there exists one group that is relatively unaffected by the economic ups and downs. They are the Amish. True, the economy does have an impact on their life but nowhere near the level compared to the rest of society.

I wonder if we can do a middle ground of the Amish lifestyle but still retain electricity and high speed Internet. Hmmm, if not then here is to the Amish as they keep on keeping on. May they keep reaping the crops sown on their fertile land.
