Local Solutions-Global Problems and addressing it from the bottom up





Every day newspaper articles, politicians and TV pundits regale us non

stop with a litany of the disasters which loom over the world. Right wing

protesters throw " Tea Parties" and the leaders of the "Progressive" Left

rationalize every attempt possible to create the Socialist Republic of

America. It's crazy time on over drive.


Where are the American people in this turbulent time and what are they

doing? They are doing what we have always done- coping with bad

situations and coming up with real solutions to address the problems right

where they live. That's what this blog is all about. Real American heroes

dealing with the mess our leaders ( of both parties) have laid in our laps.

Here are some hard truths. The politicians and bankers have spent us,the

real country, into bankruptcy. We face 12 trillion dollars worth of debt that

WE, The People, are going to have to make good.

The President and his 500+ crony crew on The Hill aren't worried about it

because they don't have to pay it. So long as Welfare,Gay Marriage, and a

host of other non-issue social issues don't get touched or a woman's right

to murder her children aren't impacted, why it's all good.


On the other side of the spectrum we have runaway military spending and

some other (and equally irrelevant) social issues. I love God and revere

the 10 commandments but don't we really have more pressing problems to

consider? Add to this the INSANE amount of pork being passed on both

sides of the aisle and we can only conclude that it's time to take away their

check book.

Call ,write and email your elected officials and demand a moratorium on

ANY new spending by the government and the passage of a balanced

budget amendment. Every state government is responsible to the residents

of those states an is compelled to keep spending in balance with revenues.

The Federal government must learn to live within it's means. Just as we,as

citizens are expected to. If enough of us burn up those phone lines and jam

their in-boxes then the will get the message. America is Pissed and We

Aren't going to tolerate any more waste from Our employees. Mr.

President, you and all the members of congress work for us.
