I’m keeping positive, but I’m also thinking that it is time — as if there never was a time — to do everything possible to get out of debt. While some debt is inevitable — most of us aren’t going to have the mortgage paid off for a few more years or decades — paying off credit cards and cutting back on spending will pay off during these tight times.

It’s hard to keep up with everything going on — especially with social networks. I usually check a few news sites and listen to the radio for the news to keep up with what’s going on in the world, in addition to cable news. Other than that, it’s hard to spare the time to keep up — especially in these days when productivity at work is key (no surfing for non-work related things) and the financial crisis is making everyone skittish.

I am a little more positive, but do agree that a credit crisis has really hurt our long term economy. More scary is the prospect that Democrats will use this fear to institute even more regulations … regulations like the ones that caused us to land here in the first place.

I’ve been blogging all morning about some alternatives to the President’s bill, or maybe some items that Republicans should add to the bill to balance it: http://synergyhomes.blogspot.com/2008/09/republicans-propose-alternative-free.html

As I do often I cross-posted it on a couple platforms and on my real estate platform Active Rain, it started some pretty heavy activity. Have you noticed how hard it is to keep track of the conversations you start across multiple social platforms? I guess that’s a subject for a later time.

Let’s hope that McCain can provide that nudge of leadership to get a deal done today at the White House.
