Ideas.
Anyone have any new ideas on how the federal government should operate?
A recent clash between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama illustrates the problem with our politicians. During a debate Clinton castigated Obama for referring to Ronald Reagan and the GOP as the people who had new ideas during the past 15 years or so. Of course, Obama was correct. The GOP has been the party of new thinking in recent history. Reagan, Bush 43, and Newt, among others, have set the political agenda for some time.
In comparison Clinton and Obama serve up the same old worn out FDR/LBJ-styled Big Government solutions to everyone's problems. History teaches us that government programs rarely solve the problem and despite good intentions, create additional layers of problems; social, economic, personal, and fiscal.
In 2008 I see no one offering new ideas and new approaches, but only a recycling of Washington knows best mentality.
Isn't it time for all of us to reconsider this question:
Just what do we want Washington to do for us?
