How Big the U.S. is

I think the media and specifically the liberal mind set forget just how large the U.S. is and how large our economy is.

The media can mesmerize people that think on a small scale. When a school shooting happens they make it out as if the schools are the most dangerous place around. When in reality your kid is never safer than when he is at school.

When we hear of a plant closing and 1.000 people loosing jobs. That is a drop in the bucket to the 300 million citizens and the jobs that are created every week.

When we hear of people loosing some of their retirement income due to stock market dip, it is small in comparison to those that will have a good retirement due to their investment in stock market.

In a country as large as ours, with as many people with such a large economy there will always be sad stories. There will always be success stories.

How we live our lives will depend on which direction we let our thinking lead us. Do we look at the cup half full or half empty. Do we look at the 1,000 jobs lost by a plant closing or the 100 new small business that started and hired 2,000 new workers.

There will always be bad things happening in a country as massive as the U.S. so why go looking for it around every corner. We should spend more time looking at the positives and feeding on that!
