America's Greatest Security Threat; The Nations Economy

The United States currently is in a precarious situation with regard to the health of the nation's economy as it emerges from the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Currently the country is facing rising fuel and food prices that are already being felt by the public and will have a great impact on business that we will witness in the coming months.

All levels of government across the U.S. have failed to implement sound economic polices that would revive the struggling U.S. economy. Washington is mired in partisan conflict over the size and scope of government, but nothing has been done to decrease unemployment in the country.

The president's own debt committee offered recommendations to reduce debt over the long term, but the president failed to enact even one of their reform measures, and instead travels across the country engaging in partisan campaigning.

Republicans, who now control Congress, have to leave partisan warfare behind and begin to address the lingering economic challenges faced by the country. A strong economy will mean more Americans working.

I can't tell you how many times we've discussed this issue, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, Washington needs to stop partisan bickering and look at what is good for the nation; not each political party. Someone please forward these discussions to them, obviously they're not reading them or paying attention to what the people are saying.
