MAY 6, 2006 - What About.....
Housing needs, health care needs, nutrition needs and then there is senior care, child care and family care. What happened to initiatives and laws to protect employees from crimes of corporate greed where people lost their entire retirement plans after 10, 20 and 30 years of employment. Or the employee who never expects to receive regular full time hours with benefits, but instead works two and three jobs to barely make ends meet?

Then there is environmental controls necessary to protect people and nature from hazardous waste and materials. Expecting truthful and reasonable access or disclosure in all services paid for through tax dollars. And being able to secure the means to recover from any type of disaster, without being embroiled in a succession of consumer battles to receive fair compensation or reimbursement. Don't forget about the middle class contributer, an endangered species. Absent attention on anyone not yet in the range of the middle classes, may not have one to aspire to, sooner rather than later.

The list goes on and not one appears to be a values driven issue for the family. It looks like more of an ethical matter on the part of the employer, company and agency (private and public). Without balance in the arena of commerce and consumerism, someone is going to be taken to the cleaners and I don't think it's corporate america. So, what do you mean when you say "Party of Family Values?" At least the message "It Takes a Village" invited everyone to be part of our children's lives and invest in their future. The message was not a party motto, it was a social idea, a concept. Since it is average financial family security that has been slowly eroding, basic needs and basic desires are at the heart of every family living in the United States of America.

Re-creating a stable government environment from a stale mate of failures, will hopefully allow families and individuals to recover. Its impossible to aspire to grow healthy physically, emotionally and mentally, if the government environment is dysfunctional and toxic. It puts an awful burden on the average citizens household infrastructure when the very foundation to build upon is lacking in financial access to quality materials, ie., all the needs listed a top.

Elements of discord, arrogance, bias, greed, apathy, animosity, selfishness, vanity and elitism, has been and is, rolling all over Capital Hill.

November 11, 2006 - Sense and Sensibility for Our Dot Com World Boomer Retirement. How Much Does the Government Owe You? "They talk about cutting down Social Security pensions to reduce the incredible debt created by the Iraq war fiasco and other Bush administration and Republican Congress boondoggles (a boondoggle is a useless government expenditure -- like the bridge to nowhere in AK)."
