Where are the leaders who know how to LEAD us out of the financial mess and joblessness in the country? Where are the ADULTS out there who are willing to make the tough decisions despite their poll numbers? Where are the brave men and women who know right from wrong and are willing to make judgments and decisions based on the common sense that we all have? Are there any leaders who actually understand economics and the dangers in artificially increasing the money supply?
As Americans, we have a common “gut feeling” that it is dangerous to spend more money than we earn. From time to time, many of us get into trouble by over-using credit. When that happens, most of us buckle-down and reduce expenses in other areas until we repay that credit. Sometimes, a few of us declare that we are simply unable to repay the credit, and default. The entity called “The United States of America” is in that very pickle – it has borrowed and borrowed, and spent and spent, until it now faces the very real possibility of defaulting. The interest on the debt is in the billions, the debt itself is in the trillions.
How did we get to this place? Don’t ask the politicians – they are very adept at manipulating the English language and will simply find a fancy way of blaming the other guy. The “Leader” of our country is the Jedi Master of blaming others…but sadly, a mere Padawan Learner at producing results. If you aren’t willing to take responsibility and LEAD, then DO NOT APPLY for the position.
I can’t figure out how a person who has never run a business feels they are qualified to lead the world’s largest business or how a person can make the serious decision that we need to “spend our way out of debt”?? Obama knew the country was entering a period of financial turmoil when he applied for the job. Instead, he spends most of his time on Health Care and the Global Warming hoax…items of which the public places almost no priority, and at this point, have basically rejected.
Obama has proven to be too divisive to effectively lead. We knew he was far too partisan and beholden to the far left and way too radical to bring the nation together when he was candidate Obama…I blogged about it repeatedly. You can’t take an extremist from the 20% of Americans who identify as Liberal and ask them to lead the Nation. Americans will reject Liberal policies because we are a Moderate/Conservative country…and every poll backs that claim. The vast majority of Americans want smaller government, lower taxes, legal immigration, balanced Federal and State budgets, term-limits, and a strict adherence to the Constitution.
The next series of blogs will be devoted to identifying potential LEADERS.
