GLOOMY OUTLOOK

An Indianapolis Star article which was attributed to Lori Montgomery and Cecil Connolly of The Washington Post announced that President Obama plans to chop the deficit in half by 2013.

Since our 2009 deficit promises to be the largest in the history of our nation and since announced spending plans promise little relief in the next three budget years then it appears that his goal is to be responsible for the highest budget in history for the years prior to his election. Linden proposes that this is not a worthwhile goal. It is troubling that the writers did not address this.

Coupled with this is Obama’s announced intention to raise taxes, particularly for businesses and those most likely to lead the way to financial health. Could it be that you have elected a President who will be even worse than President Carter??

Linden’s book “AN OLD MAN ON THE ST. JAMES WAY” ($6.95) addresses Linden’s thoughts and activities when, as a 75 year old, he crosses Northern Spain on the ancient pilgrimage trail.

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” ($3.00) reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley, these 20 poems with illustrations address the lives of four-year-old twins. It is written as they may speak.

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Treated myself to a great walleye dinner at Culver’s restaurant. Nicea sent over some food from the Mission House for my enjoyment tomorrow.

Saturday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Kingsway church at 7:30. Writers Group meeting at 10:00. In the evening, joined Bill Strafford’s Sunday school class for a progressive dinner. Sadly, I was not very hungry and passed up many opportunities to tickle my taste buds. I was the guest speaker.

Sunday: Got in late last night and up early today. So, was sleepy all day. Went to church services and Sunday school. Had a very pleasing call from Judy in Florida regarding my latest book. Went to evening services at my church.
