Now I know why there aren't that many responses to this post! I gave everyone the question without mudslinging, blaming a party, giving a conspiracy theory, or asking you to post a link showing me proof of something.
Only a few gave answers though...I suppose original thought has gone and we are only left with disagreeing with the opposition. Not trying to work together and resolve a problem; playing the blame game to the hilt. I see. |

to have a president that has actually held another job other than something in politics. I mean I wouldn't care if they flipped burgers in their teen years. A person who actually knows what it's like to live on a budget. A person who had to work a little in the real world, maybe then they wouldn't take the average citizen for granted. There are probably a million holes in this theory and I'm sure some of you will love pointing them out! But this is just an idea, so instead of pointing out the things you see wrong with it, why not expand on it and give a solution. Like Donald Trump!

If you are a Republican....I Herman Cain is not a politician. But I don't know much about him other than he was I think the owner of Godfather's pizza. |

I know why I didn't respond. Parts of your dream are just not pausible and other parts, I think are just wrong.
Never in the history of mankind was there a Government that di not rely on a certain amount of secrecy and deception. (Maybe some small, tribal governments). That's just how Government is done! I's pie-in-the-sky to think it will ever be different. I absolutley don't want a business approach to Government. Government is not suppose to opperate on the profit/loss model of a business. That reality is written into the Constitution. The business of Government is to provide those services that make the country a good place for its citizens to live in. Not to make money. Efficiency is the antithesis of our Government. That also is written into the Constitution. I'm OK with a President with military experience. Eisenhower was the last good Republican President of the 20th century. Real world experience? The streets of Chicago seem like a pretty real part of the world to me. I would argue that the Ivory tower world of the executive boardroom is about as far removed from 90% of the real world as you can get. |

seems to me, and i may be wrong, but it seems that everything started going downhill around clintons last few years... agree again...i think after the prosperious years of the Clintons and some changes they made and in the early Bush years....company's left, job wages dropped for overseas labor, we don't produce anything, etc,... Someday this will come back and bite us on the a$$, all a country has to do is stop exporting to us. Some countries have to feel we just sit by the pool all day and have everyone else (other country's) build our stuff for cheap cost. |

And military service is a preference and some political expereince -as part of the issue currently is that the current guy doesn't have a clue due to lack of experience (according to what I've read - really I pay no attention) |

sorry - double post
not a big fan of trickle down reganomics here, and I definitely think gov't should be run like a business as I am f'in sick & tired of paying taxes to pay lazy azzh@les who think they wanna run my life and TELL ME how I should live whem I"M paying THEIR salaries (I had unemployment denied for NO legal reason other than this chick was pissed that I didn't return her phone call....sorry...I was AT WORK...but they still owe me that money....even with the job I have now I still qualify because I still do not have comparable emplyment, but I am just sick of dealing wiht STUPID people who abuse their power on a hissy fit) add don't get me wrong -I'd rather be employed - I don't care to stay on unemployment- just an example of how dumm the system can be. I actaully really like it where I work...now Gov't is too inefficient - they need to have the same accountability as private sector and be required to obey their own friggin laws |
