Don't Worry

I don't understand why everyone is so suprised that the economy crashed and everything is in such a sad state. Those who know me, know I predicted the fall of our economy at least 3 years ago when prices were going rampant on everything and employee wages at that time were being kept in check. All you had to do was look at history, housing prices were escalating at a greater pace than what the average wage earner could afford, instead of keeping things in check by increasing interest rates the dumb thinkers in our government let everyone get greedy and kept the rates artificially low. It put money in the Wall Streeters (my term)pockets. Then gas prices started to climb, grocery prices started to climb, clothing prices climbed. We got reports from the government that said inflation was not a worry excluding gas and groceries - WHAT - those two alone afffect more of the population than anything. seeing my grocery prices increase by almost 50% in 3 or 4 years tells me we have inflation. I look at razor blades, a good way to keep track of inflation. 7 years ago I was paying $3.59 for a pack of razor blades, yesterday for the same pack it cost me $14.99 - about a 24% increase. My salary over the past 7 years has not gone up that much. So anyhow - we are now in a semi depression/recession(my prediction). Everyone is frettting and acting suprised and upset. An old song came to mind I think we should all sing dailey - here are the words and a credit to Bobby McFerrin:

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy.
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy.Don't worry, be happy now.

(Chorus) Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy.
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy.

(Chorus)
(Look at me -- I'm happy. Don't worry, be happy. Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me, I make you happy. Don't worry, be happy.)

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy.
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy.

(Chorus)
(Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it. Be happy. Put a smile on your face. Don't bring everybody down. Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is. Don't worry, be happy. I'm not worried, I'm happy...)
