DIFFICULT DECISIONS

Steve Layman issued on his blog this morning a post concerning the economy. As I read, one paragraph struck me:

"Miller sees a future less bright than the past, but he also sees a people who are learning to solve the problems they face by accepting the responsibility for those problems and by then making different- perhaps difficult- decisions. Sounds healthy and positive to me."

After six years of the mess our country, business, government and education has seen, maybe it is time to step back. Everyone is not polished in every one's profession.

Every day we find government and education trying to get the upper hand on each other in order to compete with the private business sector. I do think it is time to privatize some segments of government and for government to depend a little more on the private business sector for producing several of their goals (if they know how to establish a goal).

The same goes for education, we should not be relying only on the government to figure out the education problems, but the real educators and their management should be involved. As I see it, obtaining more programs instead of supporting the business sector to get a job done, is a grab for a larger budget request and gives the ability to pound on their chest a little louder amongst each other.

As well, not everyone is fit to manage certain aspects of private industry, but for some reason in private business this eventually solves it self.

It is time to accept responsibility of what has taken place during the past, tuck it up and make one very difficult decision: working together.
