We Answer To A Higher Authority

NO Sideshow Candidates like Bachmann, Palin and Perry ...

DIVIDERS - Perry, Palin, & Bachmann are Dividers ...
And pick topics that are Country Dividing Issues ...
Palin and Bachmann say they are being picked on if asked to discuss in dept real topics like Jobs ... We already have plenty of dividers ...
We don't need more ...

The Republic ...
A republic (USA) is a form of government in which the people, or some significant portion of them, retain supreme control over the government, at least in theory, and where offices of state are not granted through heritage. 

Do we really have a voice in our government ...

A Republic to American's represents democracy liberty ...

The right to say what we think ...

And have control over our government ???

Seems like extremists are now in control of Congress representing a very small portion of Americans ...

And the extremists are seeking more control ...

.

No More Button Pushers ...

This pushing a button and all your problems will be solved has got America in the mess it is in  ....

For the last 50 plus years U.S. voters have opted for the thinking pushing a button for their favorite candidate will keep our country as leader of the free world.  America will NOT run right by just pushing a button, that is casting a vote every 2 to 6 yrs and waving the flag I am an American ...

.

What is needed is ....

.

Each member of Congress needs a detail comprehensive performance job review yearly ..

Included in the review check list along with an overall rating and did the candidate do what they promised ...

.

Conducted by an independent panel of taxpayers from their constituency ...

.. 

If they don't pass the review they are out of Congress immediately ...

.

Be very careful what you push a button for ...  It may create a ineffective and broken government full of extremists worst than we have now ... 

.

With the International Monetary Fund about to be taken over by Communist China and the Euro about to be dumped by Europe ...  More than ever it is important we keep our house in order ...

Should China Forgive Our Debt …

Should China Reduce Our Debt - Money Owed…

Our we legends in our own mind ?

.

France – AAA+ Credit Rating

Germany – AAA+ Credit Rating

England – AAA+ Credit Rating

USA – AA+ Credit Rating with a 1 and 3 chance of a further down grades.

But we are the USA, the #1 leader of the world or are we a "use-to-be" …

What are these countries doing right ?

What are we doing wrong ?

Could it be "Congress" ?

.

Well as predicted in my last blog post

Should China Reduce Our Debt - Forgive Our Debt …

.
China holds about $1.2 trillion in U.S. government debt, according to the Treasury Department's latest figures. That's about 30 percent higher than the previous estimate.
.
This is part of those global imbalances we keep talking about. China exports more than it imports; the U.S. imports more than it exports. So U.S. dollars keep piling up in China.

We deserve to get something back for the billions we have paid out to feed starving people, educate leaders, rebuild countries and repair after national disasters ...
.
Think about how much it would help the U.S. and the global economies around the world if they just forgive a Trillion of our debt.  
.
But will they ?

Negotiate Down the Debt - Negotiation - Compromise ...
Negotiation, this is what we do in business (the real world) everyday.  There are businesses in the U.S. that that make millions of dollars negotiating down debt everyday for businesses and individuals.  Now we know the Tea Party Republicans aren't interested in negotiating, but maybe the Democrats could give one of these one of these agencies a call ...
.

Sure to play a role in his 2012 reelection campaign. Senator Marco Rubio (R) and Tea Party supporter, voted against the deal to raise the debt ceiling.  Up until now Rubio had a sneaky clean record outside of not paying his mortgage on the house he lived in when he was head of the Florida Legislature …
.
Rubio, who campaigned on the need to address spending and the deficit, was one of just 26 Republicans to oppose the debt deal. That move cast him as one of the holdouts in the compromise plan that kept the federal government from defaulting on its debt, and averted a potential financial meltdown. Which end effected was the downgrading of the U.S. credit from AAA to AA.
.
60 percent of people dislike how it lacked tax increases on businesses and higher-income Americans.

Senator Marco Rubio (R) FL and Tea Party supporter .. Make sure this guy doesn't get on the budget committee.  He does not Negotiation/Compromise ...
