Bailout! The Game

I am trying to keep constant tabs on the bailout news for implementation into another game concept surrounding the Bailout! issues.

The verdict is in! Most of America does not want to bailout GM. I think that most taxpayers are getting the picture that our hard earned money that was saved to buy a Ford (or whatever you drive) is also being used to pay for someone's GM car. I guess we are wising up to this boundless government spending issue.

This article is has some interesting information. I am not sure how true all of it is, but it concludes that the bailout of AIG is promoting Islam and Islamic Law is governing a now a taxpayer owned business. This is a tricky legal issue that is in direct contradiction to the laws that established of our country. The government better figure this one out and fast.

In this article, the dreamer and creator of NASCAR is highlighted as a great innovator of a new industry. It also states that at no time did the Johnson family request a handout in even the most difficult times. Americans are in a financial crunch and need to embrace our entrepreneurial spirit. When things get tough, think of ways to embrace the difficult times, come together and find a way out.

The birth of NASCAR is a story that mimics my life lately. I am an architect in an industry that is swiftly coming to a halt. Banks will not lend money to business owners to start new construction projects and in turn, I found a substantial amount of extra time. With my new found time, I have not sat idle, saying to myself 'Woe is me...' My wife and I have worked hard at a concept, created it and now are selling it to the public. The result is a board game called Bailout! The Game, a board game; plus a card game and t-shirts have also been created all centered on this theme.

If you are in a similar situation, use your time wisely to better your situation. Whether it be education yourself or creating something, this economic status will not last forever. You need to be ready to pick up and run when the market changes. I encourage you to be prepared.
