I’ve tried to not talk much about politics on my blog. Politics are polarizing. And in my role as CEO of Doba, I’ve tried to stick to ’safer’ topics because I know that many Doba customers read what I write.

But I’m going to change that. There are serious problems in America, and when I come across something that needs to be looked at, needs to be considered, needs to be understood by all of us, I’ll put it up here. I’m not going to say that I necessarily will try to propose solutions to these problems. I consider myself a pretty smart guy and I know my entrepreneurial mind is pretty good at finding ideas to solve problems. But at a minimum, I’m going to do my small part to help increase the visibility and exposure to legitimate major problems that are facing our country. Legitimate major problems that we need courageous leaders and visionaries to solve. Legitimate major problems that for damn sure we don’t need poser politicians to solve. Poser politicians that are unwilling to act–unwilling make the tough calls and decisions–towards solving these problems.

Anyway, my good friend Chris Knudsen posted some things that I’m going to re-post here. I hope others take them and post them wherever they can. Americans need to wake up and understand that our so-called leadership in this country are going to ruin this great experiment that is America.

David Walker is the Comptroller General of the United States. The Comptroller General of the United States is the director of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a legislative branch agency founded by Congress in 1921 to ensure the accountability of the federal government.

This guy knows what he’s talking about. Anyway, you NEED to go read this article from CBS News: U.S. Heading For Financial Trouble? (watch the embedded video on the right as well) And then you need to go read this article from Financial Times: Learn from the fall of Rome, US warned. And then you nned to watch these videos:

And then you might ask: so what should I do about it? I have to believe in the system we have, it’s the only one we’ve got. So our system of government is based on the fact that we all have the right as citizens to find the leaders who will address these problems. Let’s find the leaders. Let’s demand action from them. Let’s let them know that we will be OK with them if they make tough choices that aren’t in their short-term interests as a poser politician but are in the long-term interests of America.

More to come…
