WHO ARE WE GOING TO HIRE?
My father had an 8th grade education. When I was a young boy he left the family farm and drove a meat packing truck, sold cars, worked at a filling station, bought a grocery store, and sold Electrolux vacuum cleaners while Mom and I ran the store. Then, he got his building contractor license and began to build houses in the early 60s. He did quite well and had 5 new houses on the market. His broker told him to sell his houses at a discount because interest rates were rising, which would kill the housing market.
He would not because he had made a lot of money building and thought he could continue doing the same and make more money. He went bankrupt a couple of years later and lost everything but our home.
As you well know in our fast changing world we can no longer survive DOING WHAT WE ALWAYS DID.
Voting is a private thing. Our forefathers were men of high learning and wisdom (as is demonstrated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution). Today, our leaders need to have the same kind of characteristics. They can no longer lead on past experience because the world changes so quickly.
I thank those who have sent me views on who they think will do the best job. I believe that the more we can know about the candidates the better we can decide. Good and honest people will vote for different candidates and still be GOOD AND HONEST. I offer you the following to give you a broader view as you have given me (please continue sending me insights you have).
I THANK THE PRESIDENT FOR APPOINTING, SUPPORTING AND LETTING THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY THINK BEST. -mackie

different. His most readily apparent ability was his voice; he was
able to talk to people in such a way that they almost always went
along with him. He was exceptionally confident, and made those around
him feel so too. Roosevelt did not tend to deal with underlying
problems; he was, however, wonderful at taking care of the surface
problem. On his inauguration day, he gave his famous speech asserting
that the only thing America had to fear was fear itself; not entirely
true, because the nation stood on the brink of collapse. The banks in
Chicago and New York were closed. Within ten days, Roosevelt had them
back open. Throughout the next few years, Roosevelt’s general policy
was to make work for anyone and everyone who was idle; it didn’t
matter if the work was pointless, and didn’t really need to be done.

( over 20 yrs ago my mother became very ill. Here family doctor she had been going to for a long time told her she had asthma. She became critically ill when she started having problems breathing. Here doctor finally sent her to a specialist who did a thorough exam and found that every major artery to her heart but one was totally closed and that she was about to have a major heart attack. The doctor did open heart surgery on her, she recovered and lived for 20 more yrs. We need specialists who are trained in their field of expertise. -mackie)
