All Is Not Alright

It's long been held that no one president can destroy a country and no one president can build this country. Well after the wild ride in the markets a lot of people are beginning to wonder about that. No the markets aren't our prosperity and country but they are a good indicator of how our nation is doing.

Important indicator too, like the unemployment number, the gross domestic product, things like that. Our country isn't doing well. It's all but a mathematical certainty that something bad will happen because of the government's big spending ways. We have too many unfunded liabilities and we are too far down the path to change course.

Congress needs desperate reform, new congressional approval ratings put congress around 10% approval. That's pretty low, really low. Congressional reform is a must. The people will demand it soon as they see how their country has been mismanaged and they are not happy about it.

Before the common people march on Washington to demand resignations of their leaders the leaders should really address this issue first and foremost. I don't advocate overthrowing the government at all, I advocate digging out the leeches and parasites that have entrenched themselves into our system. Those that have made our system corrupt and taken it's fruits as their own personal gains.

I advocate congressional reform, that they live under the same rules they decree for us. Our system is the best in the world's history, no country has grown as we have to become the lone super power in the world, now it should be our duty to take it back from those who are ruining our system and throw them out of office while imposing our rules upon them.

Citizen representatives was the goal of the Founding Fathers, now we do not have that. We have professional politicians setting up rules for them and another set of rules for the citizenry. This cannot be, at least for much longer.

There will be an event, a tipping point of some sort that will wake up the vast population and bring justice to Washington. I don't know what or when but we'll all know it when it happens.
