In your mind, what are the biggest challenges faced by Americans today?
Ridiculous health care costs?
Outrageous prescription prices for the very same drugs that are made available for far less to other nations, including Canada?
Cost of fuel?
Cost of groceries?
Quality of education in the public schools?
Violence and crime?
Fair taxes?
The fact that everything we buy is made in China?
Judging by the amount of time and media play they are getting, Congress seems to think it is the carbon footprint we are leaving. Do the folks in Washington not understand that there are things further up the list that they need to be worrying about and acting on? Families are trying to figure out how to pay their medical bills, feed their kids, and still have money left over for rent, fuel, and all the other things that eat up a weekly pay check. Is anything of real value currently getting done up in congress? I seriously think that our elected officials, all of them, are seriously out of touch with the American people.
Here is a fascinating monologue from CNN's Glenn Beck. It's hard to believe that the far-left news organization CNN actually ran this piece. For those of you in the "right", this is worth watching. The piece is nearly ten minutes long, but the treat is at the end as GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin speaks out on why she is suing the federal government. Seriously.
This is just my humble opinion, but Congress needs to point the fire hose at the blazes that are burning the highest and brightest first, get those issues under control, and then work to become more proactive and less reactive.
We need less lawyers and more business people in congress. Business people are used to effectively juggling multiple tasks and projects concurrently. Effective business people learn to be proactive and less reactive. They are also used to being held accountable to produce results or else, something of which seems to not be required of Congress.
Why is that?
Palin sounds smart! She sounds tough to influence. I wonder how she'll do as a VP.
The AR nertwork doesn't want people to comment to my ponderings and epiphany's? LOL.
After reading several of your blogs - (and thank you so much for supporting Gov. Palin)... I would like to know when you'd like to run for office? More business women and men need to get into Congress! Run this country like a business instead of a lawyers playground. Just my 2 cents.
