That is what a polarized Congress does. Nothing!


this is something that politicians in general don't seem to understand, Most of the time "Nothing" is exactly what should be done.

Have you ever driven a car in the snow and gone around a corner and had the rear slide out a little? Have you ever overcorrected your steering and spun the car out?

That's what is happening in our government now. Everyone from Congress to the Federal Reserve is so anxious to show the world that they are doing something that they over-react to every condition and they are putting the country and the economy into a wild tailspin.

One of the things that I have learned in the business world over the years is to not react to everything immediately. Most of the time problems will fix themselves at a lower level without my involvement. We've got congress and the president micromanaging intimate facets of our lives. This is a recipe for disaster in business and it is a recipe for disaster for this country.

Did you see that California is going to try to legislate the use of metal/composite bats at the high school level because one kid got hurt?

I would be thrilled if Congress took 4 or 5 years off to let the country reach an equilibrium and then the really important issues would percolate to the top and they could deal with those rather than trying to fix every problem in the society.

it's time to put the brakes on
