Here we go again. Threats of a government shutdown, plunging stock markets, bickering over totally irrelevant issues while the real business gets pushed to the side.

Neither party seems willing to compromise on even the smallest point. If we want to see the complete breakdown of what we have known as American Democracy, all we need to do is let this continue.

I am not a politician but I can tell you this much. If I were to run my business the way our government is currently being run, it would collapse in a heartbeat.

We need strong leadership whether we are running a business or a government and without it chaos is inevitable.

Someone has to call the shots but that someone has to be competent to do so. Without that, we are in trouble.
