“It’s time for people to really understand that actions have consequences”
I may be a bit cynical, but I think the population as a whole never really understands this until it is really, really, too late, and even then often circumstances will enable them to continue not understanding it.
The only time the media instructs voters in how THEY are wrong and having tantrums was when they threw out the Dems from control of congress in 1994.
I agree and that's why it's up to us as individuals to do it. One person at a time if necessary.
I will see to it that people understand why we make the business decisions we do and how it affects them both as an individual and as a community. Our county stayed red and our town went blue as usual. That will now be a factor in decisions we make and I'll be happy to explain the reason to people. You don't rob someone at gunpoint and then ask for them for help and I don't see any difference here.
We've already been approached for yet another donation to yet another "worthwhile" community project. Hubby turned them down and explained that we are preparing for our taxes to go up and we were cutting unnecessary expenditures. "You'll have to get that from Obama now."
And that's the answer a whole lot of people are going to get from now on.
