After listening to the news and all the comments on Washington”s passing the spending bill for the infrastructure; and the “wish list” of President Biden to pass many more spending bills I thought that I would put in a piece from Past President Abraham Lincoln . this has been hanging on my wall in my home”s” for more years then I can remember. I believe it was my aunt’s before it was mine so has been around many years.

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more then you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”

I do believe this to be very true. I also believe that what is happening today is just what the above says shouldn’t happen.

Have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday. Make it a thoughtful, kind, productive and pleasant day.

Blessings
