It’s All About Trust…

We don’t trust our representatives, we don’t trust our corporate executives, we don’t trust our neighbors, we don’t trust anyone. When you lack trust, everything is suspect and nothing can be accomplished except destruction.

This economic mess is a result of years of ever increasing intrusion into the free market. To the point it was no longer free. Today we have politicians saying this is the result of deregulation; an outright lie. So as you dig into this mess you realize you are dealing with liars in the government, private sector, and all supported by the liars in the media. They are all covering their behinds because they have been caught in the lie.

What are they doing to “fix” this mess? Continuing the lies that got us here, and undermining the trust we need to build back our economy and society. We can’t continue on if we don’t trust each other to do the right thing. Not enough people are doing the right thing anymore. In Washington it is still a battle between the two parties with the fallout being the American people in the middle.

We need to clean house in Washington and send some people there that are not politicians but representatives of the American people. People that we can trust again. They don’t have to be career politicians. Exactly the opposite. We need to get to the bottom of this and explain to the American people how we need to reduce government influence, not increase it.

As Americans it is our responsibility to take control when our government has failed. It is time to take control as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, but truly concerned citizens to rebuild trust. Because without trust we have nothing to build on…
