October is the best month in the South Carolina Low Country. The heat of summer has passed. The water temperature is cool enough to discourage Hurricanes from coming our way but is still warm enough for swimming. It is also the time of the year when the bait fish are restless, the shrimp are large and fish are feeding in near frenzies.
In the creeks and along the beaches, schools of cruising bait are endless with larger fish regularly attacking them. The urge to play hooky from what you do during the other eleven months and fish is irresistable.
This is the time of the year to catch big Red Fish in the surf and Red Fish,Flounder and Trout in the creeks.
Standing in the surf waiting for the bite is a great time to reflect on the available abundance of everything in this country. All that is needed is a fair chance to work for it.
If people have the opportunity to fish enough, they will learn how to catch fish. If people have the opportunity to learn about business and work enough they will be successful.
Fish in October and opportunities year round abound. Come and get it.

What a Great Idea
In yesterdays Wall Street Journal there was an article by Michael Milken.
He commented that bank loans for businesses are safer than home loans. This makes sense.
Think about how this country would flourish if 30 year loans were made to businesses.
It is obvious that Government because of the way it regulates banks has no clue that business success is a long term proposition. Businesses are under constant pressure to roll notes, scrap for cash flow, try to get extensions etc. If they cannot, they fire employees and many fail.
If businesses could count on the cash they need to develop over the time they require, their owners and managers could devote their time to being creative and building the business rather than worrying about money, paying taxes and complying with destructive regulations.
Building a business and hiring people is what a healthy economy is all about.
Hopefully,relief is on the way. Twenty four day until the election.

Resiliency - Opportunity
In spit of what the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism(sorry Spiro) say the US people and businesses want to clear the air of pessimism and doom. They are tired of government announcements of plan after plan of ineffective solutions. Because it is apparent that Republicans will be back in control, optimism seems to be seeping back.
The programs that have been initiated are ones of entitlement not opportunity. People at all economic levels want opportunity. They want to know how to do it. If the poor knew how to work their way out of their poverty they would. Teach them how to do it. Don't give them more dole to exacerbate their condition. It would cost far less to give businesses tax credits to train people and make them productive than to give them welfare.
The basic problem is that the current crew of politicians do not understand this or much else about business. The new small business bill in it's short term approach to the problems of small business is a clear example of this lack of understanding.
Legal and illegal immigrants come here for the opportunity they do not have elsewhere. The current pod of politicians thinks they should be allowed to come here to participate in the welfare system. The immigrants want opportunity not sympathy.
We all have to vote and clear the air. As soon as there is hope there will be recovery.
We are a country of free thought and enterprize, let's get it going again.
