Economic Recovery?
A Real Stimulus Package
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
The powers that be continue to argue over the best way to put our economy back on track. We have identified the problems, many that they are, but the arguing happens over what to do to fix them, with no end in sight. I don't understand the dilemma. The solution seems painfully obvious to me. Tea Partiers are screaming for deficit reduction, but they are attempting to cut the very life blood of our system in an effort to reign in the deficit. Social security and Medicare are not the places to to repair our economy. First of all, those responsible for this melt down should be made to pay for their irresponsibility. Make those who have profited from this economic mudslide pay for their ill gotten gains. Stealing money is against the law in this country, yet it appears as though those running the banks have been given license to do just that: rip off John Q. Public and go to the beach. That is the first thing that has to change.

Unsung Heroes
Women Getting the Shaft
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
There is a whole segment of society that no one is talking about in the media frenzy over Social Security. Women who elect to stay home and raise children. These women work a full time job for at least 18 years running, and get no paycheck and no retirement. What is worse is that should they suffer a disability, they cannot collect SSDI, because they have not been punching a time clock.

The Week From Hell
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
What a week this has been! My emotional fortitude was yet again put to the test. Sometimes, being a mom is an awfully tough job. High stress on steroids, type hard.

Censorship Is Unconstitutional
Censorship In the Land of the Free
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
In a day and age where everyone is giving lip service to the Constitution, I am amazed at the censorship being permitted by our government. Actually, the government is responsible for this censorship. What I am referring to is the ban on books by public schools and libraries. I just read a list of currently banned books and it blew me away! Some of these books were required reading when I was a high school student.

Amnesty? Be Real Mr. President
Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
What is the deal here? Giving all of these people amnesty would be like opening prisons and saying, 'We know you broke the law, but it's okay; go about your business.' They broke the law to gain access to this country; therefore, they are criminals and should be deported. Period.
Do we want our country filled with criminals who would take our jobs away? I don't think so. Even if they are law abiding once they get here, the fact remains that they became criminals in crossing our border. Send them back where they came from. With U.S. corporations sending jobs to Mexico, they should have little trouble finding work in their country of origin.
I just recently built a house and was mortified by the fact that most of the fixtures I put in there had come from countries not our own. American Standard plumbing fixtures are made in Mexico. That sounds a bit oxy moronic to me. American Standard, product of Mexico. Everything that came from an off shore manufacturing plant had to be returned and exchanged for another product due to faulty manufacturing. Okay, the toilets worked the first time.
I don't understand how we can send all our jobs to other countries and still have an illegal immigration problem. Why are they coming here when our jobs are there?
Get rid of these people. They are criminals and do not belong here. I have no problem with those who would immigrate through proper channels, but giving amnesty to all of these people is wrong. It sends the message that it is okay to break U.S. law.
The last time amnesty was offered, we experienced a huge influx of more illegals. They had little to fear because those who had come before them were granted amnesty, and it will happen that way again if we give amnesty again.
If I want to travel outside this country, I have to get a passport and go through all of the hoops; why are these people being treated so special? If I snuck into Mexico, I'd languish in one of their prisons until being deported; should I live that long. Why are we so forgiving of others when no one is forgiving of us?
My ancestors came here, learned the language and even changed their name. They got jobs and raised families, but they did it through legal channels. Why can't these people do the same? My ancestors didn't soak up government money to be housed, clothed and fed, but these people do. They are taking food from the mouths of those who were born and raised here.
Amnesty is a travesty. Mr. President, if you give amnesty to these people, you will not get my vote next election. I live in the American southwest and there are more people here that speak Spanish than English. I've seen Mexican Nationals, in orange jail jump suits,housed because the court could not provide them with a translator to explain the criminal process to them. They come up here and take our money. The government supports them with our tax dollars. That is wrong! Spend sometime in my neck of the woods and ask the people how they feel about amnesty.
If I were to sneak into Korea, I'd be shot on sight. If a woman sneaks across the border and has a baby, that baby is just as illegal as she is. She is responsible for that child being here and she broke the law coming here. Period, end of story. You can't break up a family, so send them all home.

My Memories of Father
My Memories of Father
Trina L.C. Sonnenberg
The memories I have of my father fit in a shoe box, along with a hundred other photos of my early childhood. My parents divorced when I was five-years-old, and that is pretty much where my fond memories end.

Today is a Day for Celebration
Today is a Day for Celebration!
I am on a super natural high today, and I'd like to share it with you. Today I am grateful for so very much, that I felt it best to attempt to write about it.
We have our CO inspection scheduled and plan to move into our new house on July 1st. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it.
My son is coming home and bringing a friend to help us move.
I published my memoir a couple of months ago, and if that isn't enough reason to celebrate, I don't know what is. It took me a life time to write.
In a few month's time, my financial worries will be over, except of course, for insurance and taxes. But hey... without insurance and taxes to deal with, I wouldn't be an American, right?
I am the happiest I can remember being in a long time; I was this happy, when my last child was born.
Now, my next ambition is to bring some sort of industry to the town I live in, to boost the local economy. I don't yet know exactly how I am going to do it, but I do have some ideas floating around in my head. There is a lot of land out here, for sale, and I am sure that any company looking to create some sort of manufacturing or storage outlet could get it for a great price.
I live in the most beautiful place on Earth; the only thing this area is lacking is employment and I hope to change that somehow.
