BANKRUPTCY
Having at one terrible time faced the possibility of declaring personal bankruptcy, Linden has more than a little knowledge of the budgetary sacrifices that must be made to overcome this failure to properly manage money. It boggles the mind to envision the ill effects on the citizenry if, through political negligence, a state or our nation should face that situation. The democrats in Congress and in some states seem inclined to lead us toward bankruptcy.
A recent letter from Citizens Against Government Waste listed seven different examples of poor legislative leadership. They are:
15 different agencies overseeing food-safety laws;
20 separate programs to help the homeless;
80 programs for economic development;
82 teacher programs to improve teacher quality;
80 programs to help the disadvantaged with transportation;
47 programs for job training and employment; and,
56 programs in 20 agencies promoting financial literacy.
The links below provide a wonderful written example of the bad money management situation, two spoofs of President Obama, and a country music song.

LINDEN’S LIFE
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00: the cooks played an April Fool’s joke on us…they announced that instead of our usual good breakfast we would just have toast and cereal. I had already put bread in the toaster when they brought out biscuits and gravy. The rest of my day was mostly unproductive
Saturday: Joyce Brinkman, former Indiana State Treasurer and former Indiana Poet Laureate, and I drove all over Hendricks county looking for just the right barn to paint a poem on. We had a very good lunch at The Bread Basket Café and Bakery in Coatesville. In the evening, I watched Butler win their game and advance to the NCAA finals. The girl who sang the national anthem did well until near the end and then she boogered it up. At least she was light years better than the disastrous performance by the singer at the Super Bowl. Brian called to review the game with me.
Sunday: church, Sunday school, and brunch with friends. Had a long talk with Brian and, in the evening, attended church.
