<p class="MsoNormal">Pushing the constitutional envelop seems to be in the air with our new Washington occupants. To make matters worse, 9 States have felt compelled to make declarations concerning states rights and the upcoming social agenda. It’s probably a time to take personal responsibility to monitor the activities of the federal government closely to avoid dissolving a great Union.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The reckless financial miss-management by our elected officials and radical changes in political philosophy could easily erode our world power status. Remember that the USSR dissolved essentially by becoming bankrupt.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The business lesson here is to note that you cannot make radical changes to an operating business system and survive. It’s one of the fundamental principles in business management. If you want to kill a company, make a radical shift. I never cease to be amazed that we would elect people with absolutely no business acumen or understanding to run and influence the largest business organism on the planet.</p>
