It is not a Government Bail-out it is a Bail out of The Government.
Why do we have to bail out the Government?

     It seems to me that the LSU Football Coaching job is a great platform for getting to the next level or the next job. But it also seems to me that for coaches it is not often a permanent position. Many coaches have done well there because of the athletes. These coaches have been made to look like great coaches and great recruiters simply because LSU is a great place to recruit from.  After winning at LSU they are recruited by other “better schools”. And most of these Coaches then seem to fade into oblivion. Nick Saban is one that has prospered after leaving LSU. But most of them were less after losing the recruiting base. Nick Saban has a rep for being a great recruiter but his tenure at LSU contributed to that reputation. LSU did a lot more for Saban than Saban did for LSU. Coaching at LSU can make you better than you really are as a coach. But for some reason coaches do not like to stay there.
    With all of that being said, Les Miles is not being recruited by other schools because he does not have the ability to speak while a microphone is in his face. I think he appears dumber and luckier than he actually is. It is an anomaly. If he was any worse as a coach we would fire him and if he was any better as a communicator some one else would try to hire him. I think that LSU is lucky to have found a good coach that no one else is interested in. It is a blessing and lucky for LSU. I just wish that the fans would appreciate what they have and support the guy instead of undermining him. Fan reaction is also an element of recruiting and as a fan of LSU I should always be positive about the program. Bad mouthing and booing your coach hurts recruiting.

Say this, the economy is ,at it’s foundation, that which comes out of the ground and is transformed  into either food or energy.
Everything else is dependent on these things. Who ever convinced us that the economy comes from anywhere else is a liar.
The people that make this transformation happen are the big dogs and everything else are the ticks that feed off of them.
The people are the economy. The government, Wall Street, politicians, the bureaucrats, the car companies and so on and so on are
not the economy. There will be a recovery when we say there is a recovery. And we will not say there is a recovery until the
government stops stealing our money/wealth.

Sincerely ,
John
