YWSO’s thought – Why Can’t Our Government Be as Great as Its People?
How many conversations have you had lately that start with a phrase like, “What’s going on inWashington?” Yeah, I can’t count that high either.
Gridlock. Partisanship. Politicking. It all seems much worse now than it has ever been before, and it’s not helping get past our current economic crisis any faster. I won’t go into who started what and when or whether it’s Republicans or Democrats at fault — that’s an argument that could go on forever. And if we wait for the politicians to grow up and fix the economy, we’ll all be broke.
But there’s one phrase that keeps forming in my head whenever I read about the latest impasse in Congress or inflammatory campaign speech laying blame at the other guy’s feet: “Why can’t our government be as great as its people?”
With the unemployment rate still hovering around 8.3% (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics), the decision of our representatives inWashingtonto put politics ahead of their responsibilities to their constituents seems nearly criminal. Since the moment President Obama was sworn in in 2009, it seems as though both parties have put on blinders and set their sights on this upcoming election.
It’s a shame. It’s a disgrace. These representatives — House, Senate, Executive — have acted and continue to function like the Three Stooges.
This is a great country, but lately it seems we’ve lost our way. We can turn this around. We’ve made it through economic hardships like this and worse before and have emerged from them even stronger. It reminds me of an old saying that I’ve written about before, “From catastrophe comes disaster, and from disaster comes opportunity.”
What it will take to lift us out of this current disaster is competent leadership, the willingness to work together — it’s called compromise and it seems to be a dirty word in Washington these days — but most of all, it will take the nurturing of our country’s entrepreneurial spirit.
In this economy, setting out on your own is almost a necessity. The job market has dried up, leaving many people with no other choices but find a new career or start their own business. And those who decide to set out on the long, rocky path of setting up a new business or practice need all the help they can get. It doesn’t have to be a long complicated, expensive experience.
On a practical level, easing the cost of starting a new business or practice is essential to promoting the entrepreneurial spirit. Reducing overhead would certainly help, and that’s where virtual offices come into play.
Lower Manhattan’s Financial District is the country’s most important business center and an address here lends instant credibility to any business particularly to any small practice or business. What better way to boost a new company than to put a Wall Street address on its letterhead, website and other marketing materials. But real estate here is expensive. Eliminating that cost of a physical office lets the entrepreneur put his or her resources to more important uses.
