Why are baby boomers concerned about their impending retirement?
They've been over promised.
They've been over promised.
Why do our kids think they should have everything Britney Spears has and 'someone' should do something about global poverty and freeze environmental conditions as they were 50 years ago?.
They've been over promised.
Why are some folks in mortgage trouble from the past couple of years?
They've been over promised.
Why do they think it's up to someone else to bail them out?
They've been over promised.
Why is the State of Illinois (depending upon who's doing the estimates) $ 140 billions in debt?
They have over promised.
Why is Medicaid and Medicare unsustainable?
They have over promised.
Why are your property taxes more than your house payment?
They have over promised.
Why will all of this rhetoric about hope, change, and believing lead to further despair?
You guessed it.
What in the heavens does the President of the United States have to do with local education funding? Nothing.
What does the President of the United States have to do with teacher salaries? Nothing.
What does the President of the United States have to do with job creation? Nothing.
What does the President of the United States have to do with your health care insurance? Nothing.
We need leadership based in hope, faith, and 'the shining city on the hill'. No doubt. We need to inspire youth. No doubt. We need to make government more accountable. To be sure. Ronald Reagan epitomized this vision. However he, as did the Founders, believed that the hope, faith, inspiration, and foundation of the "city on the hill'', are the people. They believed that getting out of their way was the best hope for the brightest American future. That is why Reagan was a constitutionalist and this nonsense about President Bush and the current administration 'destroying' the Constitution and individual rights is just that - nonsense. The over riding theme of the document is the 'limitation' of government. Contrast Ronald Regan's themes with the same promises but based on one man, woman, or one federal administration 'giving' hope, faith, inspiration to the people by moving wealth around.
They over promise and they do it in a particularly objectionable way, and if they succeed in the bamboozlement you will see a disillusionment in this country that will make the 60's and 70' look like a tea party.
