It is all about compromise and finding the common denominator to sit down and settle the issue at hand.

The recent "debt ceiling" debacle is one that has shown this Nation - that it is all about sitting down, participating , finding out the common denominators, compromise - and settling the issues at hand.


Perhaps for the first time those that were totally out of touch with the wheeling and dealing in Washington DC  realized that it was time to act.


Never before, did the House that is the Congress and the Senate - receive so many emails and other types of communications from the American People.


Mostly Seniors organized groups played an important part - held the feet of the "policy makers" to the fire.


That one question to the head of the military - " will we receive our military pay?" set the tone - and woke up those that talk the talk but cannot walk the walk - in recent days.


It is one think to go to war and waste billions of dollars.


It is quiet another thing - to be asked what are you doing for the troops - and fail to get an answer. Well, that issue has been settled for now. We must be vigilant at home - and not take the lives of our military for granted.


Not all is well on the Western Front.


We, as a Nation - now, have to tighten our "spending belts" - and this must be done with a bi-partisan task force - 6 Republicans and 6 Democrats.


This bi-partisan task force - who can and should set the tone; truly representing the Nation - linked to our fiduciary and fiscal - responsibilities.


The Nation must not be held hostage.


The drama could not have been played in a better manner. The President stepping up to the podium - minutes before the Asian Markets opened - and stating that the United States Congress and Senate - has reached an agreement.


This is before - any sign document is in place. Which shows the world the power of the President of the United States of America.


This could not be done by the Europeans who are having severe problems in Greece, Italy, France, Portugal, and Spain. Germany is trying to prop up some but its day is approaching.


Here at home - we have three major factors that are in our favor.


Our population some 311 million is small and powerful, poised, controllable - compared - to the population of say China and India in the billion - plus.


We have a land mass that has vast resources and we are blessed in this land that belongs to the Native Americans and must NOT forget that, ever - Aho.


Thirdly, and mostly important - our human resources are critical to the world. It is here that our tax reform is pertinent - to change the tax codes and foster more Research and Development. Return billions back to the United States with tax initiatives - that can create jobs and focused investment.


Our oil companies and companies like General Electric that do not pay their fare share - must step up - the loop holes closed - once and for all.


Our Congress and Senators must now focus on our people. Those Seniors and others that must be respected. This segment of the population will speak loud and clear - in the coming elections - not only on the National level - but on the local level - too.


Our Educational system revamped to meet world - needs. Most major countries that are doing well with their economies - are investing in education - not so here in the United States.


Tuition and other vital resources to many students are at a premium and students are suffering - especially those that are - poor.


We the people, bailed our banks and we have not forgotten the machinations linked to sub-prime loans, derivatives, and so on.


The U.S. Banks and the Credit Card companies - must be put on notice on - to make the necessary loans without harassing the customers and constituents first - who are really the ones to whom the money belongs. We bailed the suckers out!


Banks are sitting on trillions of dollars. 


On another level - the larger financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan are are positioning themselves to take over assets in Europe.


This chess game has been going on for years - but the details will be revealed soon.


These money mongers full of "greed" have learned nothing much - from past mistakes. Some of them are so bold - that they are openly preying on victims - in Europe and here in the United States. Nothing much has changed - not even with Congressional hearings.


It does not help that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank too - have models that do not work.


Those that do not have equity - simply do not stand a chance. And if you are a Nation like the many European Nations and African Nations - and do not play by the rules that favor the IMF and World Bank - then you fall - prey. They control your assets and put a choke hold on you.


Spain for example does not want to have anything with both these fiduciary, dubious world organizations the World bank and the IMF.


Not all has been settled here at home in the United States.


In the short and long run - we must be vigilant - our fiscal woes will have to  be resolved - by spending less and tightening our belts.


It is wrong to have one dollar in our pocket and spend a million. That is what our Nation has done - with inept folks like George W. Bush Jr. - in recent times.


To be fair the last Stimulus Package did not help. Our true unemployment rate they say is 9% but it is more like 20%. Those millions that have not worked in three years - are not counted.


There are lots of temporary jobs without benefits. No real jobs with benefits - more career jobs that really count. 


In the final analysis we must gauge our Nation's progress by the Middle Class that counts - our educational standard - we must be educated on issues.


We failed this time - miserably not comprehending the "debt ceiling" - because the first time around - we permitted ploys like - derivatives, sub-prime loans to rein us in and do us in.


Did not check our Congress persons and Senators - those that have been in power for too long - making tons of money - and doing us in.


These so called Representative must not have more then two terms - we must replace them - and send to Congress and the Senate - fresh blood, people who can work hard and represent better.


Not folks like the Tea Party who are a disgrace to humanity and this Nation. Trust no one that hold the Nation hostage - there must be a way to send these folks to jail - for a long, long time.


We the American People must be consulted - and we must not allow drab, shallow, inept - so called Representatives to use the words and think for a moment that using the words " American People " as a cliche - will fool all the people - all the time. Aho.

Our Senors and Disabled are held hostage while our Representatives fail to comprehend their RESPONSIBILITY to the NATION.

Whenever your hear a Representative say " the American People " - fully analyse the statement the Representative is making.


By bring in the "American People" and pretending to "represent" the - people of America - mostly probably - the Representative is - lying.


So many plans linked to the "debt ceiling" from both sides the Democrats and Republicans - were vetted by the Congressional Budget Office - only to find that - the two parties - needed to go back and reevaluate their figures.


I say this because both parties - spent more time - arguing rather than having their respective aides and committees - producing pertinent and relevant "debt ceiling" models - to serve the needs of our Nation.


Missing, in the "debt ceiling" debate are the various constituents from each and every State that could have come out with better - models. Task forces that could have done a better - job.


However, to do this the Representatives that use our name in vain - must first consult us - before the spend billions of dollars. They spend our money - and then make excuses.


There is NO transparency and absolutely No accountability. Yet, these so called Representatives - have the audacity to use our name " the American People".


Who gave them the permission - and the time has come to tell them to their face -  do not use the phrase: " the American People ".


The American People by far are hard working and honest - not so the Representatives - who should be ashamed of themselves.


It is a fact, that these Representatives spend over eighty percent of their time - collecting money to fill their campaign coffers. Thinking more of their next election and if they will be elected. Less time serving the " American People" as they proclaim in vain.


The short cut these Representative take is by pandering to Political Action Committees )PACs).


They pander to contributors that with latest ruling by the Supreme Court - can receive in dubious ways - millions of dollars. The Supreme Court looks at these contributions - as freedom of speech!


This cliche the "American People" for practical purposes is a JOKE - when used liberally by the Congress persons and Senators.


Many of these Representatives act worst then "thugs" - they have absolutely no sympathy, no compassion, no feeling for those that need help - our Seniors, our disabled, our military women and men, those that need help. Not all of them - but most.


We after all favor Compassion - not thugs from the Tea Party - which is NOT a recognized party - but, a faction with a hidden agenda.


Our Representatives if they do indeed "serve" the American People - which they DO NOT - must act in the better interests of the American People. Action first - walk the walk.


The paradox in all these talking come July 1, 2011 - the Representatives both from the House the Congress and Senate - received their pay checks! 


How about that for lying, deceiving, pretending to work for the better interests - of the American People. These folks all have have their pay check delivered to their bank accounts. Go Figure!


We must start some where - to comprehend this debacle - our run away spending - when President Bill Clinton was there - we had a surplus.


Then came the Republican and money was spent and more wasted - bringing about this predicament.


One President that is responsible in a big way - President George W. Bush Jr.


He saw nothing giving Corporation huge tax breaks - especially Oil Companies. He saw nothing in favor the Corporations who made and continue to make billions - linked to the war machine.


All those companies must be put on notice and investigated.


Dick Chaney's former companies he represented must be investigated - Halliburton -  a company that has its dubious companies - all over the world - raking in billions.


Now, is the time for the real American People to speak up - and send to Congress and the Senate people that can represent. In the interim make known their sentiments. We cannot sit and wait - waiting for Godot!


This is not easy - when most people do not know anything much about the "debt ceiling", less about Representation, still less about our Constitution which mentions the Nation's - fiduciary responsibilities.


The United States President, President Barack Hussein Obama has chosen to permit both parties to contribute to the better interests of the Nation, the American People that matter - but the fact of matter is that the American People - are not really represented.


If they were - they would not be treated like a "dirty rag". Shame on our Representatives.


In the mean time - the damage world wide has already been caused.


The world looks at our Nation - not because of the present Representatives - but because of the "collective representation" of past astute Congress Persons and Senators, Presidents who had the better interest of the people.




George W. Bush Jr. and the Republicans U.S. Presidents who preceded him back to President Nixon - are NOT worth the salt. The deals with Iran by Reagan, the two wars initiated by George W. Bush Jr. and other ploys and machinations in between all recorded - are recorded and we have facts that those in the White House - during the times they were - did not truly represent our Nation. All of them Republicans and all the facts - documented.


Some are calling today "Code Red Day" - I worked for the Department of Defense and comprehend such terminology.


The lay persons - for some strange reason have put their faith - in our shallow, inept, spineless Representatives - not all of them - but most of them.


All of them, who have represented us - the constituents of the United States - must stop using the cliche " the American People ".


These so called Representatives have NOT represented us - hard working, tax payers, and ready to lay our lives for our Nation.


These representatives that pretend to represent - are shallow - and they must be a way to bring them to justice.


No where in our Constitution does it encourage - putting our Nation - in harms way - and the harming our security and economy.


Most importantly the representatives must work for the constituents of the Nation, listen to them, and look for their best interest not their own petty agendas.


Today, these shallow representatives - are putting the entire Nation in jeopardy.
