America, what happend?

June 2nd 2009 04:56
The government controls one of the biggest companies ever to exists in the United States of America and there is no outrage on the streets. The government is spending tax payer money on companies that continually fail to meet the needs of consumer and yet no one cares. American taxes are reaching higher and higher and yet the government keeps spending. What is the solution to this massive governmental power grab? Conservatism, true limited government conservatism, is the answer. Large entities have problems associated with them, try calling customer support about your phone or television problem and see what happens. If an organization that needs people to by their product to survive has bureaucracy standing in the way of great customer service how can we expect the federal government, who has customers regardless if they want to be or not, to have a better solution?

The free market weeds out a lot of problems that exists in a company. For example, Pets.com went under because at the end of the day if your pooch is out of dog food 3-5 business days is not going to feed an empty stomach. The company had problems and the free market forced the company to close. True the loss of jobs is a bad thing, and the loss of tax revenue and general spending from those individuals hurts the economy but those individuals can find jobs elsewhere. To go off a bit on jobs, jobs exist of those who have skills employers are looking for but they may not be in the location that the person wished to be in. Living three hours away from Boston as I do it would be hard to get a job in Braintree Massachusetts as it would be a long commute, I would have to move. I would need to way my options as to the viability of a move and determine if it would be right for me. To say there are not jobs just is not true. The statement should be, there are no jobs for my level of income I am accustomed to near my current location. Jobs are out there and yes, a person may need to take a pay cut but some money is better than no money. The free market is a system that has give and take. One loss job here is another opportunity somewhere else. America is saying lets throw out centuries of economic success by not allowing the economy do what it always has done. Look at Amtrak, Amtrak has been bailed out by the government many times but it is now thriving because it is a cheap form of transportation. If the company was allowed to fail could a more efficient rail travel immerge? We may never no because of how the government handles its affairs.

General Motors declaring bankruptcy is a good thing based on what the free market teaches us, however, the President Obama’s restructuring of the company is not. Why is Obama and the congress meddling with issues they know nothing about? A business is not government. A business is run for profit and provides goods and services at the lowest possible cost. The government used taxes are revenue so it does not need to peddle a product there for can do anything it wants to the general public, because people elect incumbents overwhelmingly and there for people don’t care about how there lives such as long as there is no change. Change is bad apparently but being jobless isn’t as bad. Vote out bad politicians that want to control your life and elect those who want to let you run your life as you see fit. Limited government equals greater growth and greater potential. And Remember Stay Casual……

New England

September 15th 2008 02:25
The New England Patriots lost their quarterback week one in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs and a collative groan came forth from all the New England states that the Pats season was in fact over. The career back up, Matt Cassel, came in and led the Pats to a 1-0 victory over the terrible Chiefs. Granted the Patriots did go undefeated last season, only being defeated in the Super Bowl by the New York Football Giants, and it was not just on the shoulders of Tom Brady but the entire team, he is however, the face of the franchise. Brady going down is more of a PR problem than a football problem, granted he is possible one of the best quarterbacks of this or any era but without someone like a Brady non New England fans have no reason to pay attention to them. Boston already has a problem with the Red Sox being the most hated team in baseball, maybe tied with the Yankees but at this point, it does not matter because they are in fact out of contention, because they are winning. Taking nothing away from the team or the plays but Americans like change in their sports, the like variety in their winners. Now that Tom Brady is out, a Monday Night game or a Sunday night game that has a national audience will not draw as many non New England fans.

Examining Matt Cassel, in the game against the Jets he looked good. In the red zone he did not have the same production as Tom Terrific and seems timid to pass to the double covered Randy Moss but confidence will come in time. Add in a solid defense and a decent running game and the Pats could win between 10 and 11 games and most likely win the AFC East Davison title. The Bills might be the only issue in the division this year as Brett Farve of the Jets and his cowboy, gunslinger; style is not conducive to the AFC type of play and will face problems down the road. The Bills on the other hand have a very well put together team and could cause some problems to New England.

Tom Brady going down is not the end of football in New England to the fans of the team, It did kill cross over appeal to other markets but what really matters is that the team can survive this injury and still do well based on the schedule and the supporting cast around Matt Cassel. The Pats still will make the playoffs and have a legitimate chance that the Vince Lombardi Trophy this year……and remember Stay Causal!
