The only people who have been given the task of reforming government are politicians and government employees. Employees are going to protect turf and politicians are going to protect votes, so, there will never be any reduction in government bloat. There may be a solution – citizen task forces throughout the country. (more…)

Want a Great Idea on How to Reform Government?
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010What Does Financial Reform Mean to Us?
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010The free market is the best way to hold businesses accountable. Healthy competition will force companies to make wise decisions, limit high risk deals, and protect their customers.

Should More Women Be in Politics?
Sunday, June 27th, 2010I’m not just any man. I was raised on a farm in Tennessee with all brothers. The men did the outside work and my poor mother did all the cooking, washing, and all other inside work. She never lifted a single bale of hay and I never washed a single plate.

I wonder if they will charge any of the government regulators with crimes? If BP broke the law it had to be with the help of people within government agencies charged with overseeing oil drilling operations. (more…)
Remember Elián González and that Immigration Policy?
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010I don’t understand this immigration mess. The current administration wants to leave the illegals alone while the past democratic administration deported a 6 year old boy. Do you remember Elian Gonzalez? (more…)
Why Do Politicans like Oil and Greece?
Thursday, May 13th, 2010I miss the healthcare debate. That was an issue you could sink your teeth into. The issues today are just not exciting. I hope Greece can fix their financial problem and I expect we will eventually fix our oil spill problem, but the politics surrounding these and other issues is a dumbing experience. (more…)
Can We Solve the Immigration Crisis?
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Once again, the country is faced with a huge problem and it’s in the hands of the wrong people – politicians. There is no way Washington can come up with a solution for immigration when this many votes are at stake. Neither democrats nor republicans will have a spine in this debate. (more…)
