The leadership in this country has failed us. Senator Harry Reid stated today in regards to the Auto Manufacturers bid for help- "Congress needs to to do nothing" . Very inspiring. Thank you. That makes me confident about our economy.
Now I am not hear to state my opinion, but I will tell you this, doing nothing is not a solution.
Congress choosing to do nothing, is their idea of putting this back in the presidents hand to make the decision. What kind of leadership is that? Are our elected officials that inept? Are they that worried about their jobs if things go terribly wrong with the decision they make? Then they can blame the republicans in the next election that they have something to attack them on? You have a majority, you can pass anything you want, but yet you decide to do nothing.
Republicans alike, your not off the hook on this either. Your president sits their with a decision to make on how to use 300 billion for the financial crisis, and you decide to leave the 300 billion for the president elect? That's a decision? We have a crisis now! So our democratic congress says to do nothing, our lame duck president decides to do nothing", congress will be in recess soon, going home, and our President will go to his ranch in Crawford, and more people will lose jobs! How nice! You should all be fuming at the way our government is handling this.
Citigroup cut 50,000 jobs yesterday. What does our governent do? punt on 3rd down, and leave it to the next guy. Great leadership! It seems that no one wants to create a plan, in case of failure. Our government has become that inept. Nobody believes they can make a good decision? C'mon! Cowards you all are.
I want to be inspired. I want to believe in our government. The president elect talks very eloquently. That is not enough for me. I want to see action. This is beyond party lines. This is about us!
