While listening to the radio today, I heard announcement that the super-committee made of two persons per legislative side per political party could not come down to an agreement in principle to help this nation cut down the fourteen trillion dollar deficit. It galls me to no end that either side is playing political games and possible finger pointing in this game, instead of getting down to brass tacks and getting done what needs to happen.
How could two sides of the political coin and houses of our federal legislative branch fail so miserably to help our nation come to grips with what must be done. We have nearly enough debt to hang us with a rope we do not change expectations throughout our nation and pay it off.
There has been thirty to forty years of this game of IOUs at various levels of government from your local city - county, regional, state and federal governments along with a lot of people that its easy enough to simply just stick their hands out, scream like a child and expect the the three branches of our government to come along side and stick in the money pacifier to shut us up when things don't go right.
Maybe its time that at every level, that we start as a nation having a conversation? A conversation that is not headed by media types on any political aisle that will just continue to hit every single person with a verbal and visual hammer for their own person gain.
Its time. I would love to see a local group of people get together and lets start having that conversation of what WE really need here in Clark County instead of a lot of the fluffy tomfoolery that has gone....
