I like Bob's links to Mike Rowe. Everybody thinks they need to be Bill Gates but that's slowly changing. People need to be motivated. You can't hand them a golden botton on a silver platter and expect them to get out of bed in the morning and piss excellence. Cut off the feeder tube.
I think population is a HUGE problem. How many people can this country support in the typical American way? How about the older crowd not retiring until the lay in their coffin? How is a kid supposed to get a good job if they don't exist? Look at over populated third world countries........
America is still the BEST place on earth. The gravy train has simply ended and Americans need to get back to living within their means and working hard for their accomplishments. I've been busting my ASS to keep my boat floating down the river. My profits are 1/2 what they were 7 years ago, I have two employees, more overhead but I get up in the morning an put on my slacks and go to the office. They should probably be a 1/3rd if I didn't adapt my business to the changing times. You can bitch and moan or make it happen. Take your pick. This is what every American needs to hear but it won't happen. You can't tell the truth and get elected. That needs to change.
