I'm listening to the confirmation hearings of Eric Holder. Listened to Hillary Clinton's hearings earlier this week. Next week Barak Obama will be sworn in as president. How amazing are these times?
On the one-hand we see the fear of our citizens about their financial health, just having passed from the era of fear for our personal safety, and we are about to embark on the era of hope and healing. Can this last?
Fear, whether real or imagined, is a griping emotion. It is also a well known tool used by politicians to create a result they are seeking.
I am optomistic we will come thru this period of difficulty stronger. We'll understand the hazards of operating beyond our means and on borrowed money; we'll understand the dangers of giving full authority to politicians that goes without careful questioning; we'll understand the dangers of pre-emptive military strikes without world support.
I'm hopeful the new president will make the tough calls needed to get this country back on track; trimming the budget, strategic tax reforms, zero budgeting, a workable energy and enviromental plan, and above all to maintain integrity in our government.
Working together we can accomplish anything.
