Wait a minute… I thought Thursday, the 23rd, was the first day of Autumn! Our highs should be in the low 80’s! Is global warming the cause or is it the heat the politicians are feeling from the common folk; the fabric that makes this Country great?
Regardless of your scientific or political position, it is true the heat is on.
Concerning politics, as we all know, politicians are very nervous about the upcoming November elections. Since it now appears the country is splintering into 4 different ‘political parties’: Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and now, Tea Partiers, we appear to be headed to a more contentious election period than ever before seen on our soil.
Once the votes are tallied in six weeks, we will probably not have one party dominant in both the Senate and House. Unfortunately, with the splintering, subsequent posturing by the four (probably three in the end) parties will cause: more voting along party lines instead of what truly makes sense; more subsequent gridlock in Congress; more name calling; and ultimately, more reluctance by corporate America to start hiring talented Americans which are needed to produce and expand products the public will then be able to buy since they would be employed, because corporate America is not getting a clear signal from Washington as to which way do we go…which way do we go…
As a good friend of mine, (and successful restaurateur), said over lunch today - “Government just needs to get out of our way so we can do what we do best… and that is prosper!” What do you think?
