These Are Record Setting Times

People don't get that these moves will take time to change the economy. These are not instant fixes. It's too early to judge. It's true that we are forced to participate as taxpayers, but this is a republic. The majority voted for people that are implementing these policies. That's the way it works.

As for the Detroit 3 making cars nobody wants, that's total BS. Since when is nearly half the market nobody? There are many more viable competitors today than there were in the 60's. I'm not saying some mistakes weren't made, but some of the share loss is due to the increased number of choices.

The Shallowest Generation

Thank you thank you thank you for this article that puts data behind what I have said all along. Gen X and Gen Y are not the selfish generations we are made out to be. I wrote about it here a while ago...

As for your quote...
"No one in Washington has shown an ounce of leadership in decades. True leadership requires strength of character, clear vision to see the future as it is, the bravery to make unpopular decisions, and the honesty to tell the public the unvarnished truth based on the facts."

Nobody will get voted in to office by saying unpopular things! That is the problem with a democracy/republic. Any mention of raising taxes or sacrifice will lead to an assurance that the other candidate will win.
