Reservist's business dies in his absence. |

Reservist's business dies in his absence
Extended military duty hurts entrepreneur
DAYTON, Ohio -
An Army reservist lost his business while on his second tour of duty
since the Sept. 11 attacks, and his family only kept their home when
the federal government forgave loans and back taxes.
Seven months before the terrorists attacked, Ted Valentini acquired a
business making molds for plastics and electronics, and became its
chief of sales and marketing.
Business sagged at Tramco Mold Inc., in Beavercreek 10 miles south of
Dayton, when the captain was called up to serve in the National
Guard's emergency center in Washington, D.C.
Tramco revived briefly in 2002 when he returned for seven months, but
failed after he was sent to Iraq last January.
Its assets were sold in April.
"The best-case scenario is Ted comes home, we've lost our savings ...
and he's unemployed," his wife, Penny, told The Dayton Daily News for
a story Sunday.
"So 15 years of trying to build up ourselves financially, prepare for
retirement and to save money for our kids' college, it's gone. It's
gone. We have to start over."

While Americans were dying in Vietnam and demonstrating in America,
our hawkish President did neither. He went AWOL!

The problem is George has no inkling what life is like for ordinary
Americans. "Business failure" just means the embarrassment of asking
pop to hit up his friends for some more money to squander. It never
meant not having food on the table. It never meant not being able to
afford a trip to the dentist to deal with a toothache.
He believes that the wealthy are inherently superior and hence
deserving of pampering. It never really dawned on him that he,
himself is a genetic defective, who would have died young in a trailer
park brawl had it not been for his father's wealth.

The Bush family has little idea what life is like in reality.
It wasn't until after George Sr. left the White House that he discovered
supermarkets use lasers. The lasers he was referring to are the ones in
the scanners at the checkout that most folk have also seen in drug
stores, gas stations, toy stores, 7-11's, etc.
Why should his son know as much?
