Yes, Yes and Yes

This is what we need more of....stop career politicians. It was never intended and when it becomes a career the only concern becomes being re-elected by whaterver means. It should be,"Thank you for your service and go home and back to the private sector."

A Virginia Hero

In the state of Virginia, whose leader, Gov. Bob McDonnell, this week followed through on an executive order he issued moments after taking office in January. The Governor’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring was appointed Friday and given a fast-track task of recommending ways to streamline state government.
“In light of the unprecedented budgetary challenges facing the Commonwealth and the increasing demand for core public services, government must become more effective and efficient,” McDonnell said. “The commission will work to put forth bold and innovative ideas to ensure that duplicative, outdated, unnecessary and ineffective services and service delivery methods are eliminated and that state revenues are dedicated to the core functions of government.”

LET me REPEAT...“The commission will work to put forth bold and innovative ideas to ensure that duplicative, outdated, unnecessary and ineffective services and service delivery methods are eliminated and that state revenues are dedicated to the core functions of government.”

THERE'S A GRAND IDEA.....GO VIRGINIA, LEAD the NATION!

Shake your head....

I want to laugh though in this day and time you can't as some of the most ridiculous suggestions become fact.

Gov't working their wonders.....remember the saying,"the government is best which governs least."

We've Come a Long Way

We've come a long way from we started with this new experiment in "America." We have the foundation of a nation like no other on earth. It is a nation that has stood against some of the evils of time and has succumbed to some as well. It goes without saying that our founding father's weren't looking for a career when they went to the selected gathering points to represent their fellow citizens. They weren't grandstanding about their record and how a vote for them was vote for the future. Matter of fact they looked down on such and did not actively campaign. How well they did sticking to the principles they held dear to their hearts....can we find such fellow citizens today to approach public office with such an outlook? Politics as a career? Is that what it is all about? Is that why we are where we are? Think about it.
