Federal Lobbying Creates Recession

We the People Own this country and this Government.

Does it get any clearer? Sure, "Big Business" built the Railroads sparking commerce, industries build new cities, and represent progress. But the people have had to fight for Safety Regulations, Pollution Regulations, the health of ourselves and our kids, and for fair trade to prevent monopolies and price setting that held people back from success. "Big Business" is an entity that grows and competes to succeed big against any and all opposition. We can't allow "Big Business" to persuade our Government and write our laws...and don't even get me started about limits on "Foriegn Lobbying".

Federal Lobbying Creates Recession is my twist on the problem of Middle Class Lobby that doesn't exist for the most part. I know we have lobbies for "Retirees" and "Unions", but big business and the rich just have more resources.
  • Oversight is the management of US Industries by Federal Agencies as part of their mandate.
  • Oversight is completed at various levels of government by collecting data, regulations, and through interface with government through Federal Application Processes.
  • Oversight is performed by Congress, Senate, the Federal Reserve Chairman, SEC, and many others at lower levels of Government including State and County Government.

Obviously with the Corporate Scandals and Lobbying Scandals every couple of years, no one has worked the problem with any sincerity at the Federal Level. But we the people own this country and this Federal Government.

  • When are we going to demand that Government Work for us Middle Class and Poor.

World News Leaves Us wanting to Live Correctly

Clearly, World News leaves us wanting to live "Correctly", because Individual and Group Interests will always look out for themselves and attempt to paint themselves in the best light. It is a matter of being passive living in ignorant bliss...or having to take action to understand what is happing with politics and the global world. Once we see the influence of Socialism, Conservatives, Liberalism, Unionism, Anti-Capitalism, Capitalism, Corruption, Power-Seeking, and Discrediting other interest groups or the common man...then we can step back and start to formulate and ponder what our Values really are.

I feel that in the University and in the Corporate world, goals and objectives are what matter the most. In fact, every organization these days evaluates their leaders and executives either based on a "buddy" level or on a "goals and objectives" level. So the common man is not the highest in the mind of people who have careers to make. True we have had unions, Ralph Nader, and the rise of Occupational Health and Safety to help look out for us. But every oganization has motivation to find cheaper labor either overseas or through automation.

So what are the rippling effects of Globalism?

Could American Immigration Enforcement and Policy now be influenced by Big Business and Global Out Sourcing?

Could Foriegn ownership of American Treasury Debt, American Corporations, American media, and American Real Estate be a National Security issue with regard to concerns with American Wealth, American jobs, American Retirement, American Inheritances, American Education, and American Infrastructure like Roads, Bridges, and Ports?
