Anyone even remotely interested in a political career should as a basic understanding of how the world works...have some idea of History, Geography and a comprehension as to just how we got to where we are today.
With the great scientific strides made over the past few decades
( computers, medicine, exploration of space and communication data processing to just name a few),
it is incredible how primitively we still conduct our life in so many areas.
It is astounding to see how little understanding of "must know" subjects many of our political leaders actually possess.
Is it any wonder then that we find ourselves in the almost catastrophic mess we are in today. The financial world has crumbled
(banks,insurance companies,government sponsored and other mortgage lenders,large stock brokerage houses),
industrial giants such as the auto and steel industry are on their knees looking for government bail outs and the folks in power do not appear to have the background or ability to get us out of the mess we somehow got into.
We are in a worldwide recession, if not already a depression and by the looks of it there appears no clear way out of this quagmire. Unless....we act now to change all that.
But:-
There is a way out of all this but it takes bold actions and as the Americans call it a bipartisan effort. Now is the time to do it, or we will indeed be into the worst depression ever.
