Democrats and Republicans-Make Courageous Decisions!

We like to label political decisions as either leaning to the left or leaning to the right.  Most people (not just Americans) reside somewhere in the middle.  That is why many of us get so frustrated with the stupid decisions made by Democratic and Republican leaders.  Here are two simple suggestions to both parties in regards to this weeks news:

1. Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s  confirmation should happen immediately! This man prevented the economy from falling into the ocean and there are some Senators questioning his confirmation? Stop running for reelection and do the right thing!!!
2. Health Care Reform Bill should be passed in the House immediately! Everyone will pay dearly for inaction. Stop the fear campaign and pass this bill so we can start reducing the costs of health care. Stop running for reelection and do the right thing!!!

Doing the right thing is often doing the most difficult thing. It is past the time for our elected officials to practice this basic principal. This is true for both the Democratic and Republican parties.
