Is Anyone Listening?

Can any Government actually gear up to meet any Problem; this article casting great doubt as to this capacity. Local Commanders will always want the Funds provided to be directed to what they perceive as the greatest Problems, while national Commanders will always concentrate on ‘Role statistics’ which inspires ‘Bragging rights’. Local officialdom want the onus of Failures shifted upwards, during which time national Superiors will complain about lack of effective assets on the ground. Allocation of funding for specific purpose always faces some degree of failure when the design spread of funds do not match the Threat levels endured by individual local officials, who want to devote the funds to what they consider their pressing Needs. The Situation is not helped by 'Top Down’ dispersal of funding. An alternate Budget Request system should be implemented where Superior Government entities would only approve the Budget requests sent by subordinate Government levels if those Requests conformed to national policy, and never at finance levels higher than requested by local administrations. The perfect Solution always is to inform local Government to design their own defenses, and fund them through local Taxation; a conceptualism unheard of in a corrupt political environment.

Small Business, like local Governments, continually face higher Costs which they cannot immediately adjust within the parameters of their Cash flow. They are both right on the Firing Line where excess Costs are outsize, Gains are minuscule, and immediate Budgets consist of hardened Concrete. The Rules of the Road find no observance under these Conditions; most often, Thousands of laborers will be laid-off, before Managerial Salaries are touched. This Later, by the way, is probably the worst Scenario to adopt, as it is Labor Spending, not Management Spending, which keeps overall Consumer Sales at high Peak; management policy containing the threads of its own destruction. Everyone attempts to avoid the economic terror of Job Insecurity, and they only accomplish a repetition of such Threat.

Here is another Example of helplessness and social drift. News Coverage of the Wars has dropped to a practical nil, People tired of another Problem where there seems to be no Solution. All three major Presidential Candidates hold a shared responsibility for the Wars, belonging to the Senate throughout the Periods of Intervention. All Three seek to avoid their own culpability in the activities of the Senate and Administration, all wish to avoid recipient anger coming from their previous colleagues with resultant backlash, and all Americans recognizing that Everyone with previous position on the Wars will propose some ‘Stay the Course’ alternative of Option, simply to avoid Social Indictment from previous participation. Reader Interest always drops on News issues where Readers realize that viable Solutions to those issues will not be entertained, because of previously-vested interests in the Status Quo. lgl
