It is time for we the people to carve the way out of this malaise and recession. The path to create the healthy growth we need is in the dedication of addressing our crumbling infrastructure. There are thousands of bridges,highways and schools that are begging to be addressed. I know we have a financial crisis, but austerity by itself will not move us forward. We need to address real jobs for millions of our brothers and sisters while committing to an educational revolution that allows us to move to the workforce of the future.We cannot wait for those who would rather fight than lead. We were once told that the government is by the people,of the people and for the people. It is imperative that we demand that those we elected on both sides stop the games and become leaders. Accepting the malaise is no longer an option for us. The common good demands that the infantile territorial games must stop. We deserve better than this and to accept the current situation is not only shame on them,it is also shame on us.
