While waiting for the storm to end I was reading a new post in a friend's Blog.
Donna said,
“We all know the nation's economy changed fast. It seems to be the topic of every discussion today right along with our Wisconsin weather.
I woke up Sunday morning to find that most of our snow was gone, but things sure did change quickly. The good thing about change is that it's inevitable. I know the snow will eventually be gone and Spring will soon be here. I'm hopeful for the same inevitable change for our economy.”
It reminded me of a Scene from my favorite movie, Being There.
The President was consulting with one of his advisors, Benjamin Rand,
when he paused and asked the opinion of Chauncey “The” Gardener.
President: “Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can
stimulate growth through temporary incentives?”
Chauncey Gardener: “ As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.”
President: “In the garden.”
Chauncey Gardener: “Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes
spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter.
And then we get spring and summer again.”
President: “Spring and summer.”
Chauncey Gardener: “Yes.”
President: “Then fall and winter.”
Chauncey Gardener: “Yes.”
Benjamin Rand: “I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we
welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by
the seasons of our economy.”
Chauncey Gardener: “Yes! There will be growth in the spring!”
President: “ Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic
statements I've heard in a very, very long time.
I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.”
Well Chauncey, I”m with you. Bring on Spring!
