How much longer will our Congress ignore the our horrific crisis of
trust and fiscal confidence? We are at a
threshold where Americans have to explore the full price and cost realities of
all our goods and services. Otherwise we will watch a huge and fast economic
sunset. Our infrastructure and future require
green fiscal management.
The problem is our country has not priced things for what they truly cost. Corporate
welfare and many government programs are great examples of our present crisis
in resource mismanagement. Two wars, economic hardships, and other disturbing
trends are evidence.
We, Americans, have
illustrated “profit now” instead of “invest for the future”. Our government promotes “buy now and pay
latter” because voters have supported these shortsighted short term practices. Now
we have to awaken to the price and cost of our present fiscal situation.
Poor price and cost structures jeopardize both our national security and prosperity.
Our present fiscal cliff will add another $4 trillion dollars according to the
Congressional Budget Office. Americans will learn how to be more ingenious with
our money by economic necessity. The market is no longer free if we all have to
pay for creating its failure. A new multi meaning of “trust” must emerge.
Government and private sector’s “use it or lose it” incentives increase our costs
and taxes. A new evolution of organic consumption
will stimulates prosperity if we see the cost in the longer run. Presently fiscal inefficiency has a huge
hidden price and cost. How we can better
conserve and manage resources is the next frontier of capital growth.
The price for prosperity requires wise investment. Any good business invests in research, development,
production, and numerous other goods and services. However the source of our
fiscal inefficiency needs to be fully examined.
Our fiscal crisis now forces us to find more efficient price and costs opportunities
from the past causes and effects of outdated.
Government waste is a great starting point to translate the rhetoric into
reality. Overspending will only cease
once we understand our existing inventory of possibilities. Thrift and
ingenuity may once again become an American way. A new definition of conservation and economy
will spark new economic endeavors.
We foolishly stimulate government waste.
Now Americans are becoming angrier increased spending where little
results. Government programs must use
more with less; whether it’s health care, defense, education, environmental
protection, transportation, housing, foreign affairs, and intelligence all
these programs must innovate. New commerce and prosperity comes once we better
balance our accounting of price and costs. Life cycle and full cost accounting is the
tenor of the times.
Now government can become more truly conservative. Whether it is performance
based saving or any other measures that increase productivity and efficiency.
We can no longer transfer debt to the future. Let’s better manage both our wealth and well-being.
"Eco" translates to clean up the present mess with lean measures. A new definition of “green efficiency” can
change our “brown status quo” from rotting to promising. Let’s take better
inventory of the true costs and expense of our present broken inefficiency.
We
all will profit in investing in leaner efficiency. Working together we can create a more
conservative economy. The quad-trillion dollar question is how we institute
waste reduction and increased saving. This is not a question of “if” rather “when”
the real crisis fully happens and we truly discover what our money is worth.
