America, Isn't There A Better Way?
I love reading the comments of Bob Schieffer. So often I find that we think alike. Mr. Schieffer tells it like it is, plain and simple. His comments on the "Tiger" situation describe my sentiments exactly. When you "choose" to sign-on for "extra-ordinary" benefits, perks and wages, it "should be" assumed that you are willing to attempt to behave like an "extra-ordinary" person.
If you are going to whine, complain and gripe about the demands of "your job" , do what the rest of us do.
Quit the job and get one you are happy with. Sometimes the change results in a cut in pay, benefits and perks.
Sacrifices have to be made in every situation. You chose to live the billionaire life. You can either work the billionare job or give the billions back and live the day to day life that your lowly fans have to live.

Healthcare affects the community. MAMOGRAMS, SAVE LIVES.
America, Isn't There A Better Way?
The USA was founded on diversity of beliefs, hard to believe that 200+ yrs later, each of us still wants to control the individual thoughts and beliefs of others.
Come on America stop feeding the frenzy that media and the legislatures ignite.
Dont fall for the petty issues they bait us with.
Make them stick to the issues that are important. Dont get sidetracked on issues resticting individual choices.
Neighbors are arguing over issues of individual right and choice while in Washington the politicians continue to use our bickering as cover for thier inappropriate encroachments. And as they study more and more ways to restrict the freedoms of the people who elected them, they also bury loopholes which permit them to escape the restrictions they impose.
Healthcare is an issue which affects the community. DISEASE is contageous, MAMOGRAMS, while a matter of indiv choice, have been proven to save lives. But as long as they have us argue over validity of these issues, THEY (the legislatures) dont have to accept rsponsibility for the welfare of the community (THEY WERE ELECTED TO SERVE).
As long as we argue over petty differences, they can continue to take "hiatus, holiday parties, company perks and big business pay-offs". They can set up thier so-called committees which are fattened with the money that could have funded the education of our children and the medical programs which could have saved the lives of our families and ourselves.
I dont believe that America should have been established for the benefit of the few who wield thier ill gotten power or use thier money (gained from exploiting the "have-nots") for the purpose of self gratification.
I do not think that the law is written only for those who can pay a judge and lawyer to make changes to an agreement behind closed doors.
But as long as we close our eyes to the truth behind the current arguments, these things will continue to happen.
Come on Americans, TAKE THE CHIPS OFF YOUR SHOULDERS, GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND AND LETS KEEP THE INSTIGATORS (the politicians) FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES WE ELECTED THEM TO RESOLVE.

TARP Money Suggestions: America, Isn't There A Better Way?
I was recently asked:
What would you suggest should be done with leftover $200 billion TARP money?
Dear President Obama and Current Legislature:
Invest in America. Create a lottery for the best new inventions. The potential winners would submit estimated production costs and ideas on manufacturing, A committee would review the submissions and grant the money to the best of the best for start-up and hiring employees. The grant money would have to be re-paid to the fund for future recipients.
Invest in scientific research for new ideas on safe fuels for transportation, agricultural production to feed the hungry and organized ways to save health care costs . The best of the best would get grants to hire help and build the companies for research and manufacturing purposes on the condition that the grant would be repaid for future recipients.
The panel of judges who decide who qualifies to get the grant would be business people who had a proven track record of sound judgement, honesty, impartial fairness and previous success.
This idea would put the focus back where it belongs... On America as a team with common purpose.
