I'm not one to get political but this hit me out of the clear blue and I just had to share it.
As I sat yesterday afternoon getting my hair cut, someone issued a statement about the NFL and whether or not there will be football this coming season. Not really paying attention to the conversation, it dawned on me, one of the reasons why the NFL is in a lock out. That being that the owners don't want to spend any money. Think about that for a second. We have NFL owners that don't want to spend any money, on one hand, and politicians on Capitol Hill that want to spend all the money they can. Try this on for size. Let's send all the NFL owners to Washington to run the Government with their money. There would be no president, just 32 Czars, pun intended.
What to do with the out of office politicians, good question? First off, no unemployment benefits. Put them in the work force and make them EARN their wages, like the rest of us. That might seem harsh but it's far better than the boat I'd put them on and send them to...
You may think this is an absurd idea. Maybe it is. The point I'm really trying to underline here is, that we as Americans need this kind of "out of the box" thinking to turn this dismal spin around. Businesses turn to their marketing departments to come up with new ideas to promote in order to get ahead of the competition. Isn't our government a business? Yes and no. It acts like a business but it is not run like a business. A real business, like NFL owners, is out to make money, not spend it. I could go on and on but I think you get my point.
