Can somebody please lead?!
After a grueling, and embarrassing, debate over the national debt limit, followed by a humiliating lowering of our credit score, now we enter the beginning of campaign season. This is shaping up to be even more acrimonious and divisive than our debt limit debate was. Not only that, there doesn't seem to be any good reason for it.
Every summer we travel the country for a week or two and meet all kinds of interesting people from different walks of life. We all seem to be able to get along, transact business, and go about our daily lives without worrying about who's richer, what party they are a member of, or any other type of unimportant nonsense. We are secure in the knowledge that we all belong to the same country and we can get together and get things done when we need to.
Why can't Washington do the same? Why can't they remember that ultimately, they are sent there to get a job done? Why can't they work in the national interest and not in the interest of a party or movement? Why do they continue to spend time worrying about their allegiances to each other rather than the country they serve?
Thoughts anyone?
