Remember that it only takes a senate vote to approve a treaty!

 Originally published in 1916.  Now, almost 100 years later, it's still true but is still not understood, or cared about, by the people that need to the  most!  
  

• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
• You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
• You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
• You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
• You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
• You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
• You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
• And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

 William John Henry Boetcker (1873–1962)

This post will slowly go away so I've added it to the part of the blog that doesn't change unless I change it!

"The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples' money" Lady Thatcher

Wisdom of the ages - that our young President just fails to understand!

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

........Abraham Lincoln

I've seen the picture before -

and I really like it - but I like the new caption in the email I just got even more!


So I had said to him "Barak, I know Abe Lincoln and you ain't Abe Lincoln".
