I suspect that what we went through a decade ago is what the country is going through now. At least the names on the checks are familiar; Dick Armey for one. And I suspect the ocuntry will come through. A little bloody, a little bowed, but still standing. <br /><br />Yeah, my cup's half full.JACKIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883028058826030899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-82385271285661572232011-08-07T04:58:10.572-07:002011-08-07T04:58:10.572-07:00A good business leader has an informed plan but ha...A good business leader has an informed plan but has to be prepared to steer his company in light of ever changing realities in the business environment. No business can succeed if its leader insists on a dogmatic approach and is unwilling to consider the advice of his top executives, board members, stock holders, customers and the economic climate. And I think every business person realizes that if you don't have revenues, your business is going nowhere. Whittling a business to the bare bone allows it to hobble feebly along a little longer. Lisa, am I right? You don't bring in more customers reducing the menu from 10 items down to 4.<br /><br />And in business...if you don't do your job, you don't get paid. Throughout the debacle as they talked about checks not going out all I could think was that the LAST checks to be cut should be those that go to Congress. Until they could pull their heads out of their butts and do the work we elected them to do...they had no right to be paid. <br /><br />I was gratified to see the polls reflect an overall dissatisfaction with congressional job performance I'm afraid it will not precipitate any change. They don't view their job as working for the country and its people. They view their job as working to keep their job. As long as their major contributors are happy, they couldn't care less about the rest of us. The Tea Party got organized, mad and loud and affected change. I think it's time for the reasonable, thinking people to get organized, mad and loud.sunflowerkat https://www.blogger.com/profile/11643564072168293568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403384531250069062.post-51542449249846609412011-08-05T10:24:49.024-07:002011-08-05T10:24:49.024-07:00Oh, but they're so quick to claim a mandate.

All they have to do is spend enough money circulating the right combination of lies and half-truths among their mostly uninformed, apathetic consituency a few weeks before the election and they can count on swaying public opinion enough to keep their jobs for another 2 (or 4 or 6) years. It's really pretty pathetic.Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.com
