Hard Life In America Brings Hard Choices For Families

Let us begin with a short meditation as we always do to face the day for the day will come as it always does;

The soap opera of life. It begins at home then at your workplace and then it feels like a dream because you want to just walk away but you cannot because you need the job. What to do ,well I have no idea. The world is full of choices and one never knows when the challenges will show up but when they do you better be ready to make a move towards a better tomorrow. I always elect to make the choice to stay on a positive note always. I feel that sometimes the challenges we meet up with head to head, choices sometimes they are easier to deal with.

Once you know the concept of rights, your life will transform radically and everything will be different. Righteousness is the rule of the universe. Those who have more right can act with greater authority, power and faith. They also have heaven working more on their side then those with less right. It isn’t just the possession of right, but also the consciousness of rights and the exercise of rights that makes the difference. Greater rights un-exercised achieve nothing compared to lesser rights that are exercised.

The Bible says he that is spiritual judges all things, and that a wise man understands time and judgment. One who increases in wisdom gains greater ability to know the rightfulness of things in all areas of life. You must understand rights in order to know when you have authority, when you do not have authority, when you can take it, when you can give it away and when you can take it back again. Those who have greater wisdom have greater right to rule because greater wisdom access greater rightfulness.

Obama: Getting Down to the Hard Choices

By Joe Klein Thursday, Jul. 09, 2009

Barack Obama has been President for six months now, and we are beginning to learn a few things about how he does business. The most surprising of these is that he is a vehement traditionalist, a small-c conservative, despite his opponents’ best efforts to paint him as a radical. In foreign policy, this has meant a return to traditional diplomatic devices — treaties, alliances, negotiation, a global strategic vision — after the ad hoc, go-it-alone bellicosity of his predecessor. No less a high priest than Henry Kissinger recently called Obama a “chess player,” which is high praise in the world of diplomacy. In domestic policy, however, it has meant an undue respect for the institution of Congress, a sclerotic body badly in need of creative leadership. This is leading Obama into trouble.

It is likely to be an ugly summer of sausage-grinding in Washington. Obama’s two biggest domestic-policy proposals — health-care reform and alternative energy — will be pulverized and reshaped by the Senate. The end products may be unsightly and counterproductive, if passed. A third initiative — a relatively modest regulatory reform of the financial system — is being chewed to dust by the termite lobbyists of the banking industry. A fourth initiative — the effort to buy off the banking system’s “toxic” assets — is languishing, near comatose, because of the bankers’ intransigence. (See who’s who in Barack Obama’s White House.)

The fact is, Obama may be blowing a major opportunity for reform with his domestic-policy diffidence. He came to office faced with an unprecedented economic crisis, and he focused on it successfully during his first 100 days, giving two excellent speeches about the need for a stimulus plan and general economic reform. He has lost that focus as his other initiatives have come online; he has failed to speak with precision or clarity about the bills wandering through Congress. He has failed to make clear what needs to be in those bills — and what can’t be — if he is going to sign them. He also needs to update the public on his stimulus plan, especially now that his Vice President inadvertently dissed it. And he needs to make a direct assault on the greedheads who created the Ponzi economy and are now trying to gut his plan to make them do business honestly. (See 25 people to blame for the financial crisis.)

This was never going to be easy. The past 30 years have created a crimped, big-C Conservative playing field when it comes to public policy. Congress cringes at the hard stuff, especially anything that can be labeled a tax or a regulation. To make things more difficult, the public doesn’t consider health or energy reform as crucial as the President (rightly) does. Most people are happy with their health insurance, although they’re worried about losing it. And they are not clear about the sacrifices necessary to address climate change — or the national-security issues raised by our dependence on oil provided by some of the more disgraceful governments in the world.

If Obama is to succeed with his domestic-policy agenda, he needs to convince people that action is necessary on these abstruse issues. He is going to have to demand clear, comprehensible solutions from Congress, and he is going to have to admit what most civilians know in their gut: that a price must be paid for a better, more secure health-care system and action on climate change. This will be easier with the more immediate issue, health-insurance reform. There are compromises that can be made — and Obama should admit that John McCain’s plan to tax employer-provided health benefits, at least for wealthier Americans, was a good idea and include it.

It will take relentless focus to sell health reform and solve the continuing economic crisis. That will not leave much time for climate change, at least not this year — and that is a good thing, because the Waxman-Markey energy bill passed by the House is an excellent candidate for euthanasia. It is a demonstration of all that’s wrong with the legislative process in latter-day America. There is a simple solution to this problem: a carbon tax to discourage people from using fossil fuels. That tax could be immediately refunded in the form of lower payroll taxes. But the House Democrats, still playing by Reagan-era ground rules, were too frightened to go there: they proposed instead a weak, inelegant cap-and-trade system of the sort that has provided precious little carbon reduction in Europe. It is Potemkin legislation, designed to give only the appearance of dealing with a problem.

Obama wants to be a transformative President. To do that, he must transform the terms of debate — and the greatest impediment to change is the nation’s crippling, 30-year tax allergy. He cannot finesse this. He needs to take these issues one at a time, make his argument clearly and hope that the public is finally ready for the sacrifices that make real progress possible.
