What you noticed it as well?

I honestly do not believe that anyone can get us out of this mess that we are in.. Until greed and corruption are no longer a part of the picture, there is no real answers.. I am not sure there is anyone who is 100% qualified to run the country without overspending, overtaxing, nepotism, and corruption, even if we don't see it, it is there.. I believe that every politician is either bought off or in the process of being bought off.. Too many of the friends of the politicians have jobs in our government and the only qualification they possess is being a friend, they know nothing except they are friends with people in high places.. The same goes for family, if you have a family member in government, you can be assured of a job.. If your father was the president, then you know your politics, get a job with the government.. There is way too much mismanagement of the taxpayers money and they are only spending more and more, money that we can't afford to spend.. If each and every one of us run our household the way the government runs theirs, we would never get out of trouble.. There are people more qualified to run our country but they are not "in the Limelight", they couldn't get elected no matter what, they are unknown.. I can almost safely say, there are people on Mylot who have a better grasp of what is going on than our politicians do.. I do not have the confidence in our government officials that, I, as an American should have.. I am not talking down on our government, even if it sounds like I am, but I do know one thing for sure, I would love to have confidence in our government and our elected officials.. This is a confidence they will have to inspire in all of the citizens of the USA, I wish they would do it.. We have a great country, even with all of it's flaws, it is still the best place to be, I would not want to live in any other country..

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. The corruption that is showing up was hinted at during the election. President-elect Obama may not be directly involved with any of it, but the people he chose to associate with were. How long before the taint reaches him? As for solving the problems at hand? I don't think anyone has a clue what to do. For most, stemming the blood flow would be a good start. You can't do that by taxing people who are losing their jobs and bailing out every John Doe who has a hand out. Everyone talks about stimulating the economy, but it's like Twain said "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." There is no real plan. And with corruption reaching the highest offices in the land, there is little doubt that our elected officials don't have our best interest at heart. For right now, I think stopping spending, leaving taxes as-is and rewarding business for success is the only way to go. Let the chaff fall.

With the pace of the world growing on and on the challenges in front of us are growing day in and day out. We really need to run very fast to be with the pace. We need to stay focused and relaxed to succeed in life.

You know that is a very interesting question because what do we know about the people that we have elected to run our country? I know that all I know about any of the politicans that were elected is what the Liberal News Media has told me. I do not know about anyone else, but they seem to put the Democrats negatives in a positive light and no matter what the Republicans do it is always negative. So hopefully someone along the way can figure out how to fix the nations problems. However, who knows what the future may hold. Hopefully God will show his mercy on our nation and help us in these tough times.
