I have just learned that President Obama is expected to announce that it is extending the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, until October 2010. WHAT!? Are you kidding me!? It is clear that spending does not work and history has proven that big spending does not work. So why are we continuing to spend millions of dollars that have not shown any signs of helping the U.S. economy?

“For this President or this Democratic Congress to proposing using TARP funds for anything other than deficit reduction is simply a violation of the law,” Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana said.

So my question is … Should we continue to use TARP funding in an effort to create more jobs, or should we use it for deficit reduction?

Over the past week, Tiger Woods has fallen from one of the most highly respected professional athletes of all time. Reports now indicate that Tiger has had an affair with at least nine women, and reports are also indicating that Tiger has begun to alter his prenuptial agreement with his wife Elin. So the question that is on the minds of so many people, is why would Elin Nordegren, who has been perceived by many as the perfect wife for a celebrity, would stay with Tiger Woods?

From my point of view, Tiger has essentially erased any credibility, respect, and privacy that he once was entitled to. I was once a huge Tiger Woods fan, but he no longer has my respect nor does he have the respect of many others.

I have one question: Why can’t powerful men resist temptation? My answer to that is that I believe powerful men get the feeling that they are invincible and become very self-focused which leads them to do whatever they want.

What do YOU think?
