I WOULD tell you that it's going to take a massive re-education effort, but when you stop to consider that the labor unions are at the root of most of our problems and that the teachers are all forced to join the union to gain employment, you may begin to see the problem.
You will see people responding here blaming everything on Bush and the last 8 years. Other than a two front war that the Democrats voted in favor of, what did Bush do to create this financial situation? What did Bush do to send jobs overseas and drive up the unemployment rate? Did Bush try and create more jobs?
Bush is guilty of signing a bill into law changing the qualifiers for filing bankruptcy.
You can jump back to the Clinton years and find Clinton gutting the military, telling us that we will never again be in a two front war. Clinton also signed off on NAFTA and WTO which allowed so many jobs to trickle overseas. And who pushed for NAFTA and WTO? Big Industry. Why? To circumvent the high cost of organized labor. Isn't it amazing that it's actually cheaper to package the raw materials, pay the shipping costs and taxes to an overseas market , have the product assembled, repackaged, shipped back and pay more taxes than it is to simply pay the local organized labor unions?
If you stop to think about what transpired before the onset of "The Great Depression," you will find a war that drove up the national debt and the introduction of organized labor which drove up the cost of production and services AND allowed people to begin living far beyond their means.
Why do will still have organized labor unioins? To protect the laborers from the abuses of management? We have laws that prevent those abuses. So, other than self promotion/perpetuation, why?
Let's face it, the people in these unions by and large are the less educated. They didn't do well in school. They didn't go on to higher education. They bought into homes that they could not reasonably afford. And they vote Democrat. Would things be any better with Republicans running the program? Possibly. Yes, so long as they move away from globalization, which would stop the hemorrhage of jobs leaving.
You want to avert a national melt down of the economy? It begins with education and THAT begins at home. But you can't do it until you do away with the labor unions.
The Democrats and the teachers unions are all in favor of diversity. Trouble is, the Latin root words for diverse are "Dis" meaning to turn or tear and "Vertere" meaning apart. To turn or tear apart. Until we all get on the same page - by focusing on what we have in common instead of what tears us apart, there will be no unity.
The current administration has bought into the ideology of big government. They believe that you can assume massive amounts of debt while teetering on the brink of bankruptcy so that they can spend their way out of it -- as FDR did. Trouble was, FDR needed a world war to make it all work out. And they are supported by, you guessed it, unions.
A new American revolution of taxpayers and voters to get all incumbents of both political parties out of office and out of government jobs is just about the only way.
And it doesn't look like it will happen soon. While we've reached the saturation point in overtaxation and overregulation by our almost totally corrupt government, it won't change until the voters/taxpayers finally get completely fed up and do something about it.
And this permeates government on local, state and also federal levels.
When was the last time that we saw ANY politician in the USA who had one shred of integrity or honesty?
lots of small govt. , but they all rely on the big .reform from an unstable foundation cannot be a easy task. at least there are a plan in place.there is no plan to use it before some resolve is implimented and a better layout is seen. you can't make straw out of dust or plant seeds that are on loan.
Let's start by asking who voted in Nancy Pelosi. Let's have the government do like we have to: get in their car & drive to their meeting, or take a plane, along with everyone else - not their own plane with their own staff. That would cut some huge expenses right there. The President can keep his, as I can see why that's necessary.

It's too late. The damage was done over the past 8 years. All we can do now is rebuild it.
You might want to move to a "small government" nation like Somalia. Enjoy yourself!
