Conservativism is the ONLY solution!

Poor corporate earnings reports, financial system still in a credit "gridlock";
government officials printing money like there is no tomorrow and devaluing the dollar further;
the new President promised during the campaign that he would be the one to fix the recession quickly and now that he is in office, it is now going be a long slow process to get the economy growing again.....

Lies upon lies upon lies.

We have a situation in which the American public has been lied to, believing that there is no regulation or not enough regulation, when in fact, the problem is lack of enforcement of the existing regulations. Why have existing regulations not been enforced? The answer is shocking, quite frankly. Government agencies spend more time fighting over who should regulate whom and as a result get stuck in regulatory turf wars....and while they are fighting over who should enforce regulations, no one enforces the regulations.

And let's be honest about government. There is NOTHING that government does that can not be done better by the private sector. It's called capitalism. It is called free enterprise. It is called the American Dream.

The private sector is blanketed in incentives. Whether incentives be bonuses, promotions, stock options, expense accounts, or other perks that people can get as they work hard and move up in private businesses. These incentives, rewards for doing more with less. just do not exist in government. How else can you explain that while successful companies like Caterpillar and Home Depot are announcing layoffs, the government is GROWING??????!!!!!!!!?????

Shouldn't NOW be the time when government contracts faster and deeper than the private sector? Isn't NOW the time when those that run the most successful businesses in America should be in Washington, digging in and directing our government in the proper ways for our country to get our of the recession???!!!!???

The bottom line is Conservatism MUST be the thought process followed....now and forever.

NOW is the time to dramatically shrink government at EVERY LEVEL. Now is the time to dramatically reduce taxes on individuals and corporations alike. We need to reduce taxes on companies so that they can be more profitable, keep people working, and employ more people. We need to reduce taxes on individuals so that those in trouble have more money to pay their bills and the rest can have more money to spend, buying the products that drives the economy from the bottom up.

Let's face it, consumer spending is important to economic growth. But so are corporate earnings. When companies pay lower taxes they have more money. More money for a company means higher earnings which results in higher stock prices. Higher stock prices are needed to help the millions and millions of Americans that are in or nearing retirement. More money for a company means the ability to invest in themselves, to continue to invent and reinvent and stay competitive in the world marketplace. More money means growth, which means that more employees are needed.

More employees means lower unemployment. Lower unemployment means more people working and paying taxes. It also means more people spending more money each day/week/month/quarter which means companies sell more and make more. It means more people able to make their mortgage payments which means fewer foreclosures which means more stability in the banking sector which means more willingness by the banks to lend.

Conservatism tells us that government which governs least, governs best. It tells us that smaller government means less government interference in private lives of citizens. Smaller government also means a government more able to focus on the really important things that governments do.....national security, secure borders, protection and enforcement of the Constitution.

Now, more than ever before, we must realize that being Conservative and forcing our government to uphold our Conservative ideals IS what America has ALWAYS been about.....Conservatism IS what makes America, America. Our greatness and leadership in the world is the result of our Conservative heritage.

And, the further we move back to our Conservative roots, the more effective we will be in solving all of the other issues of our time.

We DO need to address our energy issues. But not from an environmental perspective, but from the viewpoints of national security and economic security. That is not to say we ignore the environment. Rather, Conservative has as its root, the word conserve. As Conservatives we understand our duties to protect the environment within the context of national and economic security.

We need to address health care and retirement security. If anyone needs to be regulated, it is the government. We have allowed government corruption to jeopardize our retirement security system (Social Security). Government corruption has allowed our health care system to be run by wealthy and powerful lobbyists and PACs working on behalf of the innsurance companies and special interests who put their own financial gains outweigh the common good.

We can fix all of our problems. And we can fix them quickly and effectively. However, to do so will result in sacrifice. We must, just like our parents, grandparents and great grandparents beofre us, be willing to sacrifice in the short term in order to ensure that in the long term our American way of life is protected, preserved and empowered.


What's right is not always easy, and it is not always popular, but right is always right.
