Well...spot on article there. Have almost nothing to add, except I might have said the five problems are: Liberalism, Liberalism, Liberalism, Liberalism and Liberalism.
It may be a subset of the Congress problem, but we now have regulatory agencies producing laws. Those agencies have been taken over by anti-growth, anti-human agendas. That is the largest reason businesses have moved off shore. We need to eliminate probably half to all of the alphabet regulators.
His article is a total Non sequitur. I can’t figure out it’s purpose or what he’s really trying to say, that we don’t need party unity to advance our political party’s agenda?
#1
A government that does not follow the US Constitution.
Yes, we basically have an entrenched, unaccountable, shadow government “governing” by regulatory decree with virtually no supervision by Congress.
Well at least reign in and change the notion of regulatory action. That’s how these 3 letter agencies get away with what they do. Congress has enabled them, not the President.
A government that does not follow the US Constitution.
WINNAH!!!
Retreating rather than fighting the culture and education war has done serious damage.
Taking your kid out of public school is great but ultimately meaningless if you don’t remain engaged in the public system. I don’t even have kids and I attend a fair number of school board meetings and NEVER miss a vote on school issues.
Bump
the turnover problem is getting epically worse now that the wives and children of politicians who spent their entire lives in office are taking up the family business of screwing America!
I mean Hillary? What the heck! Are we going to have to put up with Mooochele running one day and Chelsea Clinton?
This has GOT to end!
A second structural issue, and very related to the first. . .the decline of the family overall and, specifically, within the African-American segment of society which presently suffers a near 75% of all African-American births being outside the commitment of marriage. It's impact on the economy and crime is soon to swamp a nation teetering on the edge.
Third, is the rise of Progressive political philosophy which is predicated upon the intentional severance of the principles of the Declaration and its necessary relation to the Constitution. Congress is divided because it is the clash of two value systems: Progressives (of both parties) seeking to turn society over to be run by "experts" vs. those (like Ted Cruz and other Tea Party supporters)who want to run the country based upon its founding principles and ideals.
There are plenty more. . but these are the ones I would add to the list.
In a word, Congress has capitulated. Can’t or won’t do it’s job, and “the people” are left holding the empty bag.
The Republican Party needs to become known as The Hoax Busters.
Climate Change.
Obamacare.
Common Core.
Solar Energy... for starters.
Ah yes, the four branches of government;
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
Regulatory
A very large problem which neither party is (for different reasons) addressing, is American jobs are disappearing. Or more specifically not disappearing, they are being sent to China (and other places, but China is a huge part of the problem)
This is a very big, very real problem, and neither party is addressing it. The problem with sending American jobs overseas is, that eventually America will stop functioning.
The Republican Party badly needs to get off the ball, and lead a return of American jobs.
Now.
1. The first thing you do is stop referring to education as a "right," and start kicking out any kid who is tagging, vandalizing, starting fights, being defiant, not trying, not showing up at all, or otherwise creating trouble.
The classrooms are full of nasty little creatures who can't or won't learn and are absolutely determined to level the playing field by making sure no one else learns either. By high school many of them have dropped out of their own accord but by then the damage is done, and most of their classmates have spent 10 years in a system struggling to cope with the lowest common denominator, among teachers whose expectations have been lowered to such an extent that being able to read at 6th grade level puts a 9th grader in "Honors English."
2. Go back to actually flunking children briskly in grade school. It'll create a bottle-neck in 3rd grade, but so be it. We'll graduate far fewer children, but the ones we do will actually be educated, not just possess a piece of paper that half of them can't read, but that proves they (and their teachers) "did their time" together.
Undocumented Democrats in the GOP are a big problem. They are happy to play for Team Dem against a conservative agenda. GOP leadership is happy to let them freelance because it undermines conservatives. I don’t see how you fix that problem with the current GOP leadership.
Pogo would say, “We have met all the five enemies and they are us, us, us, us and us.”
An excellent article.
