Let The People Rule.

I found this quote that pertains to the public's apathy when it comes to government abuse of position. Yes,,you can fight City hall as in Bell California.
"If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual."
Frank Herbert .

Do The People Have To Fix The Economy Ourselves?

As Congress returns from another holiday, they wonder what challenge they might undertake before their next break? I say jobs.If they do want to spend anymore money on unemployment benefit, spending on retraining and creating jobs.

The President wasted time fight for a flawed and unconstitutional healthcare bill, now he was waste more time on immigration reform. I say how about jobs?

We have as a sovereign nation a system of immigration, we just do not enforce it. It is like having a lock on the door, but you never lock it. All those that cross our border without permission are not only illegals, but invaders.

As for our economy it need to be reconstructed from the 19 century structure that we have been milking for decades. The focus needs to be local businesses, providing for local needs.

We also need to rid of dead wood from CEOs to poor teachers who fail their students. If someone does not perform they are out. We need to stop rewarding incompetence. Especially when it comes to our children who are the future of our country.

We can start by investing in local business that provide local jobs and products. We cannot wait for government to fix anything. We see this in the Gulf disasters with BP and with Katrina.
