The Do Nothing Approach

With Americans lack of history knowledge and especially economic illiteracy, it is political suicide for an American President or Congressman to get elected on the promise of doing nothing. We believe that these representatives are suppose to vote and make laws that benefit their constituents. Yet their job is to abide by the Constitution and make laws that are the framework for our nation. Yet today over 60 percent of what congress does is unconstitutional. Doing nothing would be much better.

If Congress and the President did nothing we would not be having the current housing crisis. We would not have a massive debt that is held by foreign countries. We would not have billions spent on pork barrel projects. Lobbyist would be out of a job. Inflation would be much lower, housing would be cheaper with less regulation, credit wold be easier to get right now, and thus the stock market would be in better shape. With a do nothing congress taxes would be less than one half of what they are, a man could start a small business in one day not work on it for half a year and pay enormous costs to do so. Electricity and gas prices would be much lower because of the use of Nuclear Energy and the increased production of oil.

So why is it political suicide for politicians to go to office and promise all these things? The reason is simple but yet complex. Years of brainwashing in colleges and by politicians with the help of the media and more importantly the Judicial Branch has programmed our minds to be very dependent human beings. I was hanging out with some friends and one of them said "I can't wait to get my free health insurance." What he was saying is "ha ha ha your going to pay for my health insurance." He loves the fact that he does not have to pay for it. Wouldn't anyone? Yes unless that person understood what government healthcare is like in other countries and understands the economics about it and the fact that it is unconstitutional. These things take time to teach and in a school system ran by politicians and unions that would prefer us NOT to know these things, they do not get taught.

Its sad but it all goes back to the failure of our education system. Well failure to us not to the politicians and unions running our education system.
