"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

These politicians never say anything. They just babble on about nothing. On the other Peter Schiff could explain what to do in about one minute.

Dear Honorable Obama:

Here is a suggestion to help get our economy back on track and to help reduce the federal budget deficit. Instead of the 3.5% pay increase for all federal govt employees approved last year by Congress, we federal govt employees (including myself) can accept a lower pay increase, say 1.5%. I also think that people working in the private sector would be willing to work fewer hours and at lower pay rather than losing their jobs.

Obama has to really tackle this economic/financial crisis competently and better our economy for the long term because it will mark his first year in the White House.

Integrity, Trust, Duty, Honor, not just words!

Business goes beyond the egotistical compensation and self help interests of the executives.

Business is a serious undertaking; it carries with it responsibilities and duties to a broader community, it affects other peoples livelihoods and not only just those that work for the business, it affects whole communities, and as we have recently discovered, it affects the entire world.

It is time top management took the words seriously.
