Democracy is alive, our freedoms are intact and dialogues are great. However, when discussions rise to a level where political leanings take over, both sides should know better to cease their discourse. It does not serve Main Street to watch the exchange of political punches. It is evident that Main Street has had it. The Washington landscape has not changed. The issues are the same and the state of the country is not any better.
Imagine parents engaged in a heated, destructive argument in front of their children or a company president dismissing a suggestion for improved product standards to be competitive. A similar scenario has been playing before our eyes for a long time. The same issues remain unresolved because they get bounced from one place to another. Not much is done as half of the time is spent on blaming each other while Main Street suffers. The pain has been manageable in past years and the few who stood for it were not heard. Their voices are not loud enough.
Not today. Main Street is severely hurt and they are showing it. Their concerns are real. Their futures unsecure. They are unable to leave a legacy for their children. They can hardly meet their basic needs.
I know because my job is to help them secure their future.
In the face of it all, it is disappointing to see our leaders to be combative, defensive and determined to push forward their agenda and get it done. Wouldn't it be in everyone's interest to take a breather and look into the reasons behind the noise? Let's not be quick to dismiss it as partisan politics. It is not.
