Falling Off the Fiscal Cliff

I don't ever use this blog to talk about politics and I am not doing it now either. I just think it is time for our Country's leaders, in the White House and in The House and in Senate, to act like leaders of the nation and not the leaders of two political parties.

I just read an ABC news article that states that the White House has no new proposal for averting the country's fall over the fiscal cliff. First, I don't think it is a fall, I think we are at best being led over the rapidly approaching edge and at worst being thrown off the cliff by the two branches of government that are supposed to be serving us. Unfortunately there is no good answer for this problem but we hear all the time that government should act more like business and in this case it really should. A business would find the best solution available to avert this problem and move through it with that solution and a plan to KEEP IT FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN.

To the leaders of Our country:

It is time for EVERYONE to quit playing politics and settle on a workable compromise with give and take on both sides of the aisle and the White House. This game of fiscal chicken is hurting all of us in this country and we as citizens of the US should not settle for anything less than complete dedication from ALL 3 branches of our government. We should not expect dedication to one political party or the other but to the people they serve and this country. YOU should stop behaving like children an sit down at a table together and get us out of this mess that ALL of you have gotten us into. While all of us share in the blame, now is the time to decide how history will remember you...as republicans and democrats or as statesmen?
