					<description><![CDATA[i hear you. 

Big government, like big companies are really difficult to manage. It takes professional managers to do that, yet in government we let amateurs with no management experience or credentials be in charge. 

I&#039;m not directing this observation towards the US. This happens all over the world.

We almost need a re-engineering of politics. Separate the legislative/executive bodies totally from the operators. Hire only professional managers to execute, not politicians who procrastinate and don&#039;t have a management bone in their body. 

This crisis you&#039;re describing will be solved via sound management principles and common sense approaches, not political meandering.]]></description>

Thank you, friend.


Perhaps The Boss will work the Visa card out a bit this weekend.


A certain BRC needs a bath and an oil change.  I love it when they hand dry me.

Yes, the Big Red Car needs to get an oil change, a new air filter and to soldier on.  He is feeling his age perhaps?

					<description><![CDATA[I think your point about the government being at least as efficient as Visa - or even American Express is right on point, but sadly, too much to hope for.  A similar point of view held by the Ad Contrarian in his most recent post: http://adcontrarian.blogspot.com/2013/04/being-right-and-hating-it.html

Like the musings, please continue. 

Thanks,

					<description><![CDATA[Buck up.  A big car recently said:


In times like this — the economy in shambles, the Boston bombing — we need to remember our roots.  We came through when the oddsmakers were not in our corner and we shall prevail again.  Stiff upper lip and carry on.  We are exceptional.

Big Red is very discouraged.


But never suggest he is &quot;blue&quot; --- who wants to be a Big Blue Car?


Besides, The Boss may get ideas and paint me blue.
