If Not Effective Government, Please At Least Be Open

Our esteemed United States government, if it finds it fitting to be totally ineffective, ought to at least be open and let the people know what it is going to do.  Bills should be posted on public forums, well before a vote is held, so that constituents can comment and suggest changes to bills.

Congressmen ought to have clear action plans and goals and let their constituents know what those are and how they will benefit the country.  Including how those goals will be met and how people can help would also be welcome additions.

More On Economic Climate

The economy can be a private and public sector collaboration with both doing their part to ensure strong and sustainable growth. The private sector will do the bulk of the growth, while a role for the public sector would be to maintain sustainability in that growth. This cooperative relationship should facilitate growth and promote growth, not impede it. In forming a sustainable plan, it is important to note that sustainability does not mean “restrict growth” but instead planning and coordinating growth in a way that that increase can be sustained.

Increase Creative Capital

To grow our national economy, we need to boost of creative capital, our capacity to innovate and create new items for the market.

Innovation can drive to market forward.  We have seen this time and time again in Silicon Valley.  Many countries have seen the benefit in this and tried to create their own havens for technological innovation.  The United States, if they are intelligent, would do well to preempt the action of other nations and develop even more thoroughly innovative centers of its own, not just in Silicon Valley.

Oh Really? Part 2

In the previous post we detailed how many GOP candidates are idealistic in their promises and pursuit of the presidency.

Reasons for the failure to complete promises include inadequate will, resources, or support for the project.  The Democrats, regardless if they are in the majority or minority come January of 2013, will come out in force against the president if he is a Republican.  Therefore, the Republican nominee would do well not to be too idealistic, lest they fall down much the same road as Obama has so far.

Oh Really? Part 1

In the GOP nomination race for the presidency, it is apparent that many of the GOP candidates are running into a mode of idealism, if you will.  Their pledges and promises about putting America back at the top and getting people jobs is all well and good, but this type of campaigning seems awfully familiar to 2008 when a certain Barack Obama campaigned (successfully) for the presidency as is now being criticized for failing to fulfill similar promises.
