American Optimism Based on People not Politicians

OPTIMISM for my native country coming out of this one even resembling something close to the one my parents passed on to me.

Folks, I did all I could do by going to the ballot box two weeks ago and voted against every incumbent at both the state and federal levels.

But, given what I am seeing taking place today, this seems to be, "too little, too late."

The basic assumption in Washington seems to be that politicians must do something—pass a bill, add a new regulation or create a new entitlement—in order for America to get better. President Obama agonizes, “I spend every waking hour, when I’m talking to my economic team, about how we are going to put people back to work.”

What if government leaving people alone is better than doing something that just makes matters worse? What if letting Americans be free to handle their own problems and earn their own rewards is better than watching government politicians micromanage something they know nothing...
