As a Child of the 70’s who has grown up knowing how to drive My Elders and Peers absolutely nuts. I have to tip my hat to the 99 Movement for coming up with an unique way to have their voice heard. For though I see the Conservatives in America still have not found the ability to laugh at their own Ignorance I do hope the Tea Party can understand how Individuals and Me are the same as Communities and We. Because why the words Black and White or Good and Bad tripped up many of My Community Elders and Peers some forty years ago, hopefully your generation can see why the Charlatans and Vagabonds try and confuse our Elected Officials. For why there are many differences held between the 1% and the 99%, having once been told by one of My Elders that the only difference between being Wealthy and Poor is how one carries themselves in public. So hopefully the Youth of the 99 Movement and the Tea Party can use this new political speech to demonstrate to Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders as well as your parents that there are more than one way to be Politically Correct,

For why I can only imagine what a political conversation would be like at the Public Square. Since stepping through the Looking Glass and knowing what my generation has done with competitions I can only imagine how and where Americas’ Politics will go using the lessons we have learned over the last forty years in video marketing. Especially given the fact that I do believe someone somewhere can take both sides of a political issue beyond the screaming match.

So keep Mic Checking Americas’ Elected Officials in order that they may learn the harmony of politics. And who knows maybe the Media Pundits might find a new way to get out the messages of the opponent they support. For I think you can see where the Avoid and Blame Game of the 20^th Century does nothing to advance the issue. And after forty years of hearing the same old disputes between the Old Folks in Washington and on Wall Street, trust me when I say you’ll enjoy educating your Elected Officials on subjects you would think they would have learned in school.

So Mic Check this, how does the Youth of Today guide Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders in building a better world than their parents and grandparents?

Call it a matter of Political Ideology or just a Child of the 70’s who disagreed with his Brothers and Sisters Ideology of the Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leadership; on the other hand, given the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights by Americas’ Founding Fathers to hold an American Layman Citizen Point of View against the Learned and Unlearned Establishment of Man and a willingness to engage My Community Elders and Peers in a civil debate about building a better world. Let me answer what America can do since Congress has failed to react. For if “We the People” really do believe America is a Government and Society For, Of, and By the People than shouldn’t the Adults and Parents have a collective voice on the path America will take as one of the Leaders of the World.

Now, why the Tea Party and Occupy Movement has the right to their grassroots opinions for and against Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders, they are limited by the same laws. I can only wish I could explain how the Civil Unrest of the 1960’s created the Economic Restructuring of the 1970’s which led to the Market Reform of the 1980’s making the Prosperity of the 1990’s possible; however, like explaining how the Events of the first decade in the 21^st Century has controlled the current Civil Unrest in the streets of America and Humanity. I am humbled by My Ancestors to allow the Sprite of Freewill control how and when Mankind will repeat history. For faced with being the first generation in recent antiquity to pass on to their children a worse world, I do believe My Community Elders and Peers can learn a lot from the Youth of Today.

For why they may still not be able to build a Perfect World in accordance to the Founding Documents of the Human Race within the next forty years. The technology does exist today which can lay the foundation for such a journey to a better world. And why we must struggle to overcome the zealousness of the Charlatans and Vagabonds who wish to promote their products over those who can prove they have the sustainability to last more than 100 years. I am certain the current Learned Citizens of Society can demonstrate to the Unlearned of Society the progress that has been and will be made within the next 20-40 years. For just as the PC and VCR forever changed the lives of the Children of the 70’s; given the necessity to expand the raw material used by Mankind I can only imagine what the next generation of engineers and scientists will develop.

For knowing America needs to rebuild her infrastructure and aware that cost will be a huge factor in governing what will be done. I look forward to seeing the day when engineers can tell our local, state, and federal leaders that they can build a better road for half the raw material and 50% of the cost. For why I see a day where hovercraft technology combines with automotive technology to make a safer vehicle which has less curb weight and reduces the wear and tear of the road. Left to their own minds and imaginations on how to reduce the cost of building Americas’ roads and bridges I wonder how many will still be standing in 500 to 1,000 years. For aware that some Roman Roadways still exist today and the Great Wall of China still stands, what can Americans do given our knowledge today?

In fact, having the beast of inflation breathing down the backs of Commerce and Industry if Americas’ Democratic and Republican Leadership doesn’t want to lose their national status to the Tea Party of 99 Movement than might I suggest that their Charlatans and Vagabonds struggle to find ways to minimize the impact of the latest economic and financial glitches. Such as the one in which our homes are directly linked to Americas’ Treasury or how the market is controlled by the supply of oil and other fossil fuels. Since given a grace period before such measures are taken, is it possible to reduce the cost of doing the price of government and society by half?

Now I realize My Community Elders and Peers trusted the Elders of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders to maintain the Status Quo for the last forty years. And though I can’t say they have done a perfect job I am amazed at the progress they have made until lately. Because just as I cannot hold your parents accountable for knowing how to build a government and society capable of making every Human economically viable and financially independent, I certainly cannot hold the current Establishment liable for knowing what it will take to build a Green Sustainable Government and Society capable of meeting the demands and desires of all their citizenry.

However, fully aware that the Youth of Today can embrace and allow growing some ideas put forward by their parents long ago. I hope Americas’ Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders will begin a discourse with the Youth from the Tea Party and 99 Movement. For knowing the Establishment is once again limited to a better world. May I be so bold as to ask the President of the United States of America and Elected Officials to voice their opinions on what America can do to solve the issues of the 20^th Century now that Congress has failed?

Although I must leave it up to today’s historians and scholars to explain how the Civil Unrest of the 1960’s led to the Economic Restructuring of the 1970’s which made way for the market reform of the 1980’s and created the prosperity of the 1990’s. I am also equally aware that explaining how the events in the first decade of the 21^st Century has led to the current problems faced by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders is strictly forbidden. For knowing a Nation may write off their national debt (something learned in school) to start anew. I do believe the Voters Unrest in the second decade of the 21^st Century can led to the economic changes that will force the market to reform in order that once again the Human Race may enjoy the prosperity of the Labor of Love.

Now I can’t say how long such a thing will take or that My Peers and Community Leaders will choice the path of least resistance; nevertheless, I am sure that the agreement they made to Agree to Disagree will give way to their Childrens’ Cry for Social Equality. For just as my generation had to settle for a better world instead of a perfect world in order to use the Weapons of Peace. Something tells me that if given the opportunity the Youth of Today can and will take Mankinds’ Government and Society to places My Elders and Peers of the 70’s could only imagine existed. As only they know and can hold the keys to the next Pandora Box. And given the fact most of them already possess the Wisdom of Mans’ Knowledge, not even I can step in their way if they decide to build a better future for the Human Race.

So what can my generation do to settle the political uncertainty created by the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s inability to set aside their personal beliefs and cultural differences? Well, that is a deep and I mean a very deep subject which I will have to refer to the next Leaders of the Human Race. Since I cannot and will not attempt to explain how in one generation a lot of the social injustice and in plain language the madness of man has given way to an understanding that goes beyond words. Because unlike the Elders of the 70’s who stated this was the way things are going to be, given the grassroots movement of the Tea Party and 99 Movement over the last year I do look forward to a strong political debate as the Youth of Today begin to show the Youth of Yesterday what it will take for “The Corporation of Man” to build a successful Green Sustainable Government and Society out of the Freewill of Mankind.

Sure, I do believe and have faith in the Human Race that even the generation who threatened to blow up the world instead of giving into the Stupidity of Man has raised their children and grandchildren to respect the Ignorance of Man; however, in facing the uncertainty brought about by another ending in the chapters of the Human Race I do sense that a fair and just compromise can be forged between the two generations that will not only help America win the Race to the Top, but  establish an axiom from which future generations can learn to settle their political differences without the need for the Weapons of Peace and War. For although your parents and I shall probably never agree upon a single issue, like Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders I do believe Mankind and the Human Race can discover the Influences of Freewill which allows everyone to once again stand on Common Ground.

Happy Family Holidays and here is hoping that the Election of 2012 will bring about better days.

As Washington, Wall Street, and Main Street struggle with the issues facing the Nation I can see how many might look at Congress and wonder why they cannot seem to come ta compromise on what needs to be done in order to solve the problems. However, presented with the fact that Today’s Politicians are limited to protecting Mans’ Unalienable Right to be Ignorant I wish My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s good luck bridging the gap between the Youth of Yesteryear, the Youth of Today so the Youth of Tomorrow can enjoy the same guaranteed civil and constitutional rights bestowed upon us by our forefathers and ancestors. For though I see it as the Republicans and Tea Party wanting out of fear or greed to protect the Commerce and Industry of the 20^th Century, I see President Obama and the Democratic Party unable to gather the support of Commerce and Industry in the 21^st Century to be able to prove America can build a Green Sustainable Government and Society. And why they take those political positions for a reason, having made a promise the last time America and the World faced such a dilemma. I do hope the following fable will help My Community Elders and Peers realize the Youth of Today are in a much better position to build a Better World than their parents and grandparents were forty years ago. Especially since I know there is an America and World worth fighting for.

For fully aware there are still those in society who do not understand how an American Layman Citizen can stand up to “The Corporation” and Wealthy experts and lawyers in order to speak directly to Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. I do hope they will seek out those in government and society who can explain it since the Laws of Man and the Laws of Nature forbids me from crossing that line. Because although I have grown up disagreeing with your Parents’ Ideology of a Better World and am still spending a lifetime coming to terms with why Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders have a hell-bent ideology of protecting Mans’ Unalienable Right to be Ignorant. I am encouraged to see their children have come to recognize that at some point even foolishness and stupidity is just plain wrong. Thus, why I cannot promise it will be their generation who will succeed in building a world where every Human is economically viable and financially independent considering the Youth of Today are smart enough not to allow me to bring to market a Zero Weight 100% Traction Electric Vehicle powered by man-made wind which has the capability to pay a 16 year old to drive up and down Main Street. I can demonstrate to My Elders and Peers that it is possible for “We the People” to do so using the tools given to us in Our Founding Documents.

Now, realize that the Members of Congress and the Leaders of Society operate on the ideology of Limited Energy and Limited Resources since no one has proven they have mastered perpetual motion. And while I am certain that it exists in Nature, I’ll let the Children of the 21^st Century explain to their Elders why Mans’’ Quest should be for “Endless Energy and Endless Resources instead of Unlimited Power and Resources. Because while Common Sense prevents me from exploiting those who look into the Unknown for answers, aware Nature has been making endless energy and resources for eons I do wonder just how far My Peers will allow the Children of the 21^st Century to go in building a better world. Because though I respect the things accomplished by oil over the last 100 years, I also recognize that other natural resources are being exploited by some as the energy of the next 100 years. However, given the fact the Members of Congress and Leaders of Societies need to look beyond the next fade I wonder if Today’s Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders can handle the ideology that the sun and wind will never end. As well as My Community Elders and Peers coming to terms with the ideology that energy and resources derived from the sun and wind are free to the masses and never be the sole property of one entity. For why I realize like flying cars the world might not be ready for everyone to own a Personal Renewable Power Plants constructed out of four wind mills and a wind tunnel in their backyard. The ideology does lend itself to solving the problems caused by Commerce and Industry.

For example; we hear the Democrats and Republicans cry that government spending is out of control even though the low tax rate has led to a budget deficit and the national debt growing rapidly over the last few years. However, the one thing we are not hearing is how to increase in Home Security expenses has added to the problem. In fact, certain that exposing the money we are spending on such items would do no good I wonder why the Tea Party would rather eliminate entitlement programs for the poor rather than require those needing the added security to pay for it. Because why I certainly have nothing against the airlines or those citizens who fly every day, I cannot support the idea of keeping the price of tickets low while telling those airline employees they will have to pay more for their standard of living while management continues getting big bonuses which need to be protected by Homeland Security. So why hasn’t the Media addressed this side of the story?

Than we have the economy quagmire. A problem brought about by the need to slow down consumption in order to regain control of the short and long term fundamentals of finance. And though Prudence will not allow me to go into exactly how I know these actions were taken. All one has to do is look back at the events before and after Katrina to see how America and Global Corporations were affected by the sudden change in banking and the higher cost of oil. However, knowing the problem goes back before 9/11 the question Congress and the Leaders of Society has to answer is very different. For aware that the latest PC, TV, or phone is no longer enough to drive consumers wildly to the stores and that higher prices for food and fuel are only adding to corporations being unable to peddle their goods and services. It is not only the need for jobs, but the jobs which will create enough income so the employee does not remain a burden on society that needs to be addressed by Congress. And here is where I have a problem with both political parties. Because while I’ll admit that Americas’ Infrastructure is in need of repair and replacement, I can’t see how the current highway contracting system insures employees will become taxpayers so they may share the burden. A position I might add that the Tea Party has overlooked in their opposition to President Obamas’ Jobs Bill. For how does one go about creating high paying jobs which make profit in a Global Economy where cheap labor and low overhead is King?

Nonetheless, one of the hardest difficulties facing this Congress and your parents is what resource will replace the oil they have grown up on. For why there is a strong move by some conservatives to keep America dependent on oil for the next forty years regardless of the cost to their children. I have not heard a convincing argument given by others on how their choice of resources can provide a long term inexpensive cost of energy. And while that lends itself to keeping the economy from growing and encouraging more debt as the wealth of America is redistributed around the world. The inaction of Congress to confront the Corporate Leaders of Energy leaves open a door which can be used by the average American today.

For like the Farmers of Yesterday who brought their crops to the city in order to sell them to the corporation so they could make a profit in order to pay taxes. Under current law and future farmers can harvest the energy of the sun and wind in order to sell their electricity to the corporation so they can make profit in order to pay taxes. Because although Americas’ Energy Companies might not be able to afford adding and replacing their current generator systems with solar and wind generator system and sell their electricity at a reasonably priced, with the rest of Americas’ Businesses needing a way to stay competitive in the global market while insuring the American Consumer keeps their high standard of living. Short of overcoming the natural political objections to individuals owning their own Renewable Power Plants in their backyard, I’ll allow your Community Elders explain how certain laws can allow the community to set aside land for such activity.

Because although I can’t promise the Children of Today that the Elders of the 21^st Century along with their older siblings and parents will allow them to build a government and society capable of making every Human on Earth economically viable and financially independent since the Elders of the 70’s along with the older siblings and parents of the Children of the 70’s limited their government and society to the sky. However, knowing that as of now no Corporation or Wealth can provide a guarantee that every Human need and desire can be met. I do hope that a 16 year old today can understand why it would not have been a good idea to give their parents the ability to get paid to drive up and down Main Street. For why the political goal is to build a Better World than those in the past, just as your parents and grandparents had to settle for a voluntary recycling program in the 1970’s in order to enjoy the system we have today. So we will see how Man will react to the need for more energy and money.

Given that now there should be no doubt about the ability of Humans to have a government and society which can provide every citizen with the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent. And while Fear and Greed might prevent such radical ideology from swiping across the land, reminded that it took about a hundred years and a Civil War to end Slavery in America. I do hope the Youth of Tomorrow can convince their Elders and Peers that there is an America and World worth fighting for.

With the Liberal Pundits in the media blaming the Republicans for leaving town without funding FAA I do believe they are missing an important political point. For why it is a real good example of how the House Republicans has caused job loss since they took charge, but the fact Americas’ Political Leadership decided to go on vacation while forcing Americas’ FAA Safety Personal to work without pay is in my humble opinion over the top. In fact, the idea that every Representative and Senator is still receiving a paycheck for doing nothing while many Americans are forced to go without a paycheck should outrage every American Voter. Considering I doubt if we could get one of our Elected Officials to work for free until they settled our Debt and Deficit problem which they have created.

Sure, one can take the position that funding for certain airports should be cut; however, for the Speaker of the House to say all the Senate has to do is accept the House version of the FAA bill does little to prove the Republicans are be honest brokers. For would the House of Representatives accept a Senate version of the FAA bill that called for airports in Ohio, Virginia, and other Red States to be defunded and thousands of Americans be put out of work? In fact, given a choice to reduce the funding of Americas’ Best and most profitable airports or Americas’ Worst and less profitable airports I wonder who would win in the political battle considering the job of Congress is to help build up America.

No, the Republicans in my opinion have once again proven they would rather cut spending and cost Americans jobs than do their sworn duty and responsibility. For why I don’t fly and can easily say all funding for the FAA and American airports should be cut since in a capitalist society the airlines should make enough profits to provide the necessary funding to cover their expenses; however, from an American Point of View I do see the need to have a complete transportation system which includes every state being able to house a regional airport. So why in this day of shrinking budgets the FAA should not be exempt, I do believe the House FAA bill does not meet the Spirit of American Law.

Nonetheless, I do see it shameful that Americas’ Elected Officials in Washington would rather go on vacation while forcing other Americans to work for free just because they cannot agree to fully fund FAA. And though I realize there is nothing that can be done to solve the problem today. I do believe the Democrats should not only talk about the thousands of Americans who have lost jobs due to the Speaker of the House being unwilling to work with the Senate to pass an acceptable FAA bill, but also keep pointing out that due to the political stance of the Speaker of the House on the issue. Some Americans are being forced under the Rule of Law to work for free.

Someone in the Media should remind the Republicans and Tea Party what happen to the last person who said “Read My Lips, No New Taxes.” For if we go by their definition of taxes than even Senator Ryan. Proposal will increase the taxes paid by many Americans. For how can you cut a deduction and say you are not raising the taxes of an individual? So does this mean that the Republicans and Tea Party members of the House and Senate who pledged no new taxes will not vote for the Ryan Plan?

Yes, another broken promise and it didn’t take the Conservatives two minutes. I wonder if that is a new record in politics. And why I don’t expect President Obama to exploit the fact, I do believe the Democratic Members of the House of Representatives should make it a point to show the Republicans just how dishonest they are being with the American Public on the issue of no new taxes. For I do believe it would help in the debate of fixing the budget and deficit since it will leave the Conservatives little room to deny that revenue has to be increased and not just on the back of the Middle Class and Poor.

For if they are serious about reducing the deficit and lowering the taxes of Corporations than they are going to have to raise the revenue from somewhere. Considering that most of the increase over the last 10 years is not from entitlements, but from the need to greatly expand homeland security and pay contractors like Halliburton. Since if one looks at the budget before 9/11 and the budgets that follow they will see where the greatest increase in government spending has gone while the revenue for America has steadily decreased over the same time frame. So should we have a debate on entitlements or the increase of funding required in fighting the War on Terror?

So why we hear the numbers of $4 and $6 trillion dollars over more than 10 years, given that we are over $14 trillion dollars in debt shouldn’t we hear our Democratic and Republican Leaders talk about how they can cut/raise $2 trillion a year for the next 7 years in order to get Americas’ Financial House in order. For what good is paying off only a third of the debt when we are going to need the money to win the Race to the Top? Thus, why the Media plays up the hype of the two parties position over increasing the debt limit in the next month or two, I do believe most Americans would agree that it is going to take more than cutting spending or increasing the taxes of the Wealthy Americans in order for “We the People” to once again feel like we are going to hand Our Children a Better World than the one handed to us 40 years ago. Consequently, will it take an Independent Candidate in 2012 to give Americans a plan which will once again allow Americans to enjoy Financial Freedom?

With President Obama and the First Lady talking about bullying I do believe the Republicans are leading by example. For why the Republicans ran in 2010 on debt and jobs, it seems that leadership in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin are a clear example of how bullying in America is out of control. In fact, the Republicans actions can be seen by some to show how bullying the minority in order to get your way is ok. So why I applaud the President and First Lady for supporting the efforts of many who know bullying is not the answer, I do believe the Republicans in America are in the forefront of the problem by leading by example.

In fact, knowing that Conservatives weakness is Greed and they can’t meet their ideology unless they can support individual rights over collective rights, I wonder why the Democrats don’t exploit the bullying by demanding the Republicans live up to the States obligations. For why it is easy to bully the public workers by taken away their collective bargaining rights and lowering their pay. Forcing the current Establishment to pay in full all money due the public workers in just compensation so their contracts can be broke IMHO is a perfect way to show how bullies can be dealt with peacefully.

Yes, bullying in America may be out of control; however, when we see our Elected Officials lead by example how to use those tactics in order to get ones’ way I do believe the President and Congress have an uphill battle. For what is the difference between the bully on the playground demanding lunch money from his fellow students and the Republican Leadership in the Halls of States demanding the pay of their fellow citizens? Since other than the amount of greed and the individuals who benefit, isn’t a Bully just someone who believes they don’t have to be Human living in a Civilized World.

With President Obama and Congress cutting the first $4 billion from the Poor, do they have the political will to prove they can take the next $4 billion from Corporate Welfare and the next $4 billion from Wealthy with another $4 billion from the States? For why I do believe the fact that America uses a prorated formula the numbers should be $8 billion, $12 billion, and $16 billion accordingly, I won’t hold my breath waiting for the Republicans and Tea Party given their vote to cut $40 billion from the most profitable corporations on Wall Street. So all I can do is ask My Fellow Americans will Congress prove Shared Sacrifice?

Now we have all heard how raising the taxes on the rich can’t be done. That cutting Entitlements is somehow political madness. And if we screw with the Corporations they will leave our shores. Yet, if they are not willing to help pull the car they drove into the ditch back on the road do we want them to stay in America? In fact, Congress could put enough pressure on the Corporations and Wealthy to thin out the herd if Democrats and Republicans had a backbone. For why the American Business Person understands that you need to spend money to make money, most also realize they must take the lead or follow the American Consumer. And I do believe the Old Folks can tell the Youth of Today how well that worked out in the 1970’s.

Now, we have seen the Democrats willing to consider cutting Corporate Welfare in the House of Representatives; however, with zero Conservatives in the House voting to cut corporate welfare and seeing what their governors are doing not to create jobs in their states. I wonder if the next step is to cut unemployment sending more and more Americans to the Black Market in order to make a Living. In fact, given American Heritage I would not be surprised to see criminal activity increase like it has already done in New Jersey.

So why we wait to see if President Obama and Congress will prove the Democrats and Republicans can prove they have the political will to engage in “Shared Sacrifice” I do believe come November of 2011 and 2012 Americans need to hold each Member of Congress and State Assemblies accountable for their votes over the next few years just on this issue. Because if they do not have the political courage to represent the majority of Americans from all Walks of Life, than do they deserve the American Vote?

With the governors of Ohio and Wisconsin leading the charge to do away with collective bargaining I do believe the present Public Workers should just walk away. For with lower wages, worse working conditions, and an uncertain future who could blame our police, firefighters, teachers, and all the rest of the Public Workers from walking off the job and seeking employment elsewhere. And why I am sure that a Day of Resignation would send chills down the spine of the Conservative Movement behind the scene since they are betting that a strike would only help their cause. Knowing what the political and societal fallout would be from Public Workers just walking away, I wonder if the Governors and General Assemblies of the States really want to do away with collective bargaining.

For with the Class of 2011 not being able to graduate along with every student not being able to go to the next grade due to the lack of teachers. To the parents which would have to forfeit their jobs in order to stay home with their children. And what about the colleges which won’t have a freshman class and thus lose millions in funding. To the Employers who will no longer have the workforce and thus cause wages to increase or move away. Than we have the Banks which would have loans and property values drop like flies; however, on the bright side the governors and general assembly would be able to cut more spending since the state revenue would be considerable less over the next four years.

Now I realize that some believe Governor Walker and others are doing what they think is right. And why I can understand how some people are easily led to believe Public Workers have a better life than they do. Nevertheless, who among us want to put up with 30 students in a classroom let alone the 60-120 students which will come as Community Elders deal with the state cutting funds to educations? Who among want to stand in landfills all day? And so why some people might think Public Workers have it easy, I don’t see a whole lot of them putting in their applications.

Thus, the states may face budget crisis and the people did elect the Republicans to lead in solving the problem; however, I wonder if they knew that the ones they put into elected office was going to change their life in the wrong direction. For how many Americans are willing to take on the jobs Public Workers do now or the worse conditions they will surely face in the next years. So why I can’t stand behind the Governors of Ohio, Wisconsin, and others or the Democratic Leadership which has allowed this to happen, speaking as a private citizen, I do have to wonder why the Public Workers don’t just walk away. Except the fact they have more respect for their fellow Americans than I do believe the Governors of the states have.

With so many Conservatives complaining how money sent to Washington is not being returned to their state, how will the Conservatives of Wisconsin view Governor Walker taking money from the cities and counties and not returning the funds? For seeing no difference at the local level I wonder how the Community Elders will meet the billion dollar shortfall seeing they are now going to have citizens with lower incomes. Yes, it seems Governor Walker screwed the Republican Party once again on one of their key issues. Given that one cannot say it is ok for the State to take money from Local Governments, but it is not ok for the Federal Government to take money from the States.

So what will Governor Walker and the Republican Assembly do when the Local Governments join together with the Public Workers to protest their budget? Are we going to see even more people take to the streets in order to force the Governor and General Assembly to change the budget? For we already know that with the higher fuel prices and ever increasing costs of goods and services that even more revenue will be needed by the State and Local governments. And if Governor Walker is already willing to keep a billion dollars of cities and counties funds, what protection does the Community Elders have that he won’t call for another billion dollars so he can increase the gifts to his rich donors?

And why the governor has found some support for his position against the unions. Will Walker be able to keep that support once it comes to light that his policies are doing the exact thing Conservatives across America complain that Washington has been doing for years? In fact, one could say that he is moving Wisconsin Politics to reflect more of the Tax and Spend Ideology which the Tea Party has rebelled against. So we will see over the next few weeks and months if the Senator Democrats of Wisconsin actually did what was necessary to protect not only the Public Workers, but the Community Elders who is on the front line and will see the blunt of Governor Walkers’ unwillingness to compromise in November of 2011.
