MORE GOVERNMENT?!?!

I tend to keep this blog focused on aviation. Even though I do not have a "personal" blog where I talk about whats on my mind. I like flying, no I love flying. If I were one to talk about non-aviation things I most certainly would speak about my Faith. I am a completely sold out follower of Jesus Christ. I do write about it sometimes on another blog, that I'm contributor on for a church group. So I do not think of it as mine. But I have a rant today. I'm so sick of our new administration trying to ram all this useless and wasteful garbage down our throats. Tonight abc aired an infomercial of obama (guess who paid for it, not him!) talking about HIS desire for a national health care. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I was at the post office today trying to by stamps at 230pm. Not lunch time or some other time you would think would be busy. There were at least 30 people in line. this location ALWAYS has a huge line. You watch the "workers" as they move in super slow motion obviously not giving a single care in the world. Last month I had to go pay my tax on my car (which I already paid tax on when I bought it...hmmm they should have some kinda rule about double taxing people) it was the same scenario. They move at a snails pace, they could care less. Their hours m-f 8-5. I have never had hours like that in my life. There is no such thing as customer service when dealing with the government. They act like they are doing you a favor by even looking at you, and now this guy wants to turn our medical system into another government institution. HELLO, ask a Canadian what they think of their health care. Find out why they come over here for health care! I just cannot believe people would want the government in charge of their health care. Guess what you will NOT get something for nothing! Our Country is broke, there is no way we can continue to waste and spend and build even bigger government!!! If this happens, if he get this shoved down our throats i can only begin to imagine what will happen to our economy then. God help us! I want our Country to recover and for business to pick up. I'm ready for aviation to recover. If you cut your arm you don't stop the bleeding by making the cut bigger! You need to wrap it up and stop the bleeding.
No I'm sorry we close in 10 minutes, please bring your severed arm back with you tomorrow. when you return you need to have these forms filled out, and notarized. Please bring your photo id, ss card, passport to prove citizenship. Yes the service is free, but there is a $200 processing fee for the paper work. and there is a users fee for the operating room. There is also a clean up fee, if you spill any blood we have to bring in the haz-mat clean up team and there is a user fee for that too!

ok rant off. Seriously I hope we as a country can focus on getting our economy running again, getting people back to work, and start enjoying what we love the most...Flying!

Welcome to the web.

Well, I finally broke down and created a website. The flight schools are not hiring here and I need work, so I figure its time to go freelance. I also teamed up with a couple other cfi's and an A&P so we could offer a more full service product. be sure to go by and check it out. www.victoryaviation.net Now the huge task of "linking" it with other sites. From what I have been told its easier to be "found" on the web if you are more linked to other sites. I'm very much a newbie to the whole website thing so this is a huge learning experience. But hey, if someone moves your cheese you have to go find new cheese! OK, if you have never read the book "who moved my cheese" you don't get that last statement, if you have not read it, you should! It should be required reading by all high school students in my opinion! So here we are in a bad economy, what do we do? I don't know about you but I keep moving forward. Take flight training, it has moved to a crawl. If one was a smart person right now is the time to begin flight training. WHY you ask, because in a year or year and half when you are done flight training, and you have built some time hiring WILL be back to full swing. Ask the guys who got hired on at the beginning of the last big hiring swing what they think, and then ask the guys who hired on at the end. They are the one who are now furlough and are looking for jobs, or are now going back to school and jumping out of the aviation industry. Now is the time. Yes it stinks not having work, but when the next hiring boom happens, I will be ready!
For now I go look for the next piece of cheese
