New Year's Resolutions??? (Modified)

Is there too much government?: not talking socialism, talking business. How many people running our government have business degrees? Better yet, how many successfully run a business, not "ran" a business. Times are changing, business is changing. Show me a business that isn't changing and I will show you a company that is going out of business, period, exclamation. With that said, who cares if they have run a business or not, the point of our government isn't to run business. I was just making the point that not enough are qualified, but are still making business decisions.

Now tax cuts, that's something our government can do. Tax rebates hit the economy immediately. Now, infrastructure is a role that needs to be addressed by government. What happened to that? Jobs, workers with disposable income, and something to show for it. . . INFRASTRUCTURE. . . not fat wall street cats getting fatter. . . and yes, say all you want about Warren Buffet, he took the governments money with inside information about the bailout of Goldman Sachs, but no one cares, except maybe Martha Stewart, who is rumored to be mumbling "WTF", everywhere she goes.

The problems we are creating for ourselves with China are systemic: ps- them funding our debt is a joke, not an issue. The issue is what we are wasting our money on, not who is paying for it. You have been fooled by the media if you think that is the issue.

Along the same note, bailing out the banking system was key. I don't agree how it was done, but it had to be done.

I don't know how the system changes, but I don't shop at Walmart, I go out of my way to not buy goods from China, and I don't drive a truck or an SUV. Never forget, our problems began when a major input, gas, went up (don't get hung up on details of credit drying up, yackity, smackity, this that, disposable income went overseas: enough said). Stop driving your SUV's and trucks, start carpooling and using public transportation, buy local, and get off your fat asses and bike somewhere once in awhile. If you are still complaining about the state of affairs, please re-read the above. Now, be the change you want to see, and stop waiting for someone to do it for you, and stop blaming "The Man" you are "The Man." Questions AND Comments are always welcome!

My New Year's Resolution is to take ownership of what I can, inspire those who can, and encourage those who don't see how a little goes a long way and that change starts from within.

Happy New Year!
