I have often preached that before you start any undertaking you should define the report card that would be used to measure success. Effective leadership requires and demands that you articulate a vision, define the metrics for success and then strive to implement the vision measuring success using a simple report card.
The vision is to re-create America as a self sufficient nation with a self sufficient people. Liberal progressives/communists/socialists. ... will immediately balk..
This is not a viable reality we must all lean on each other; nations to nations, individuals to individuals. The flaw in this reasoning is that it simply expands the level of need. This is great if you are trying to redistribute need. The talking points on national liberal media this week began the process of an Obama-nation... trialing the idea of ending elections for the next 4 to ten years. A necessary prerequisite to establishing stability on the road to shared individual responsibility and class warfare.
Business and government leaders presented the idea that the expense of elections was "waste we cannot afford" (Starbucks CEO) and instability that erodes confidence in our government (multiple talk show hosts and liberal politicians).
Many of my liberal friends have posed the same advice .. a benign socialist dictatorship would solve all of our problems, and enable those best educated (liberal educations) to manage and govern.
They are expressing their vision. It is currently failing everywhere in the world. Each and every failure can be blamed on just not getting it "right". We are at step 6 or 7 implementing president Obama's vision of national socialism. Just another example of not getting it right.
How about an attempt at restoring American greatness. Let us recreate the successes of our greatest generation, rather than the failure of our worst generation. The current group of liberal democrats brought us the Vietnam War, the Welfare State, Trickle Up Poverty and now Crisis Driven Politics. How can we stand by and let them perpetuate a flawed vision. I don't even want to try and apply a report card to their "success".
A correct vision is the antithesis of Trickle Up Poverty and Crisis Driven Politics.
Self sufficiency as a nation; as a people drives aggregate success from individual success. Over time the number of those in need is driven so low as to be easily managed. Crisis are not created to drive a political agenda, but solved.
I have struggled over the last few weeks with how to communicate the metrics of success associated a correct vision for our nation's future, simply and effectively.
I thought about a simple tutorial on calculus, return on investment, macro economics, micro economics, whew...
Then it became clear. Self sufficiency as a nation, self sufficiency as individuals is the vision. The report card is simple.... we need 4 A(s) and an A+.
The vision...
Self sufficiency as a nation requires:
1) Restoration of our industrial/manufacturing base ... self sufficiency = making what we consume
2) Restoration as the economic leader of the world ... self sufficiency = a small affordable government
3) Restoration as the democratic leader of the free world ... self sufficiency = a wealthy successful people
4) Restoration of our image as the shining city on the hill ... elevation of the weakest amongst us from destitution to self sufficiency, for the small few who cannot lift them selves ... a caring people raise them up.
5) Restoration of our energy independence ... we are the Saudi Arabia of coal, nuclear, natural gas and solar energy ... restore our ability to not only consume our own energy but to export energy
Report card objective:
1) A. 60 percent of all goods sold in America are labeled made in America within 10 years
2) A. less than 20 % of GDP is spent on government (state and federal) (5 years)
3) A. Less than 4.5 % unemployment, less than 20 % total effective tax rate (5 years)
4) A+ Less than 1 % of citizens below the poverty level, (10 years)
95.5 % employed, 99% self sufficiency, elimination of the need for welfare
(10 years)
5) A 90% of energy consumption is from domestic sources within 10 years
B = 20% deviation in time to achieve
C = 30% deviation it time to achieve
D = 40% deviation in time to achieve
F = Continuation of national socialism
GPC Passing Through
