Decision 2010: Americans Aren’t Asking the Right Questions
Telling Americans What they NEED to HEAR (vs. What They Want to Hear?)

It’s Decision 2010. Are Americans asking the right questions? Our political discourse has been incredibly shallow and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ when the same people who are against spending are insisting at the same time on the top 2% getting a $700 billion, covered with borrowed money (e.g. spending!) It’s a joke, or would be if it wasn’t our future on the line.

As always, politicians are telling people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.

The “Global American” radio program is about what people need to hear – and asking questions Americans should be asking themselves in considering WHO to vote for.
Such as, WHY did America fall from No. 1 in Education to No. 9 in the last decade? HOW do you think we’ll lead the world when eight other countries have a higher percentage of their citizens becoming college graduates – and engineers, scientists, etc?

Why is Texas 49th of 50 states in the number of high school graduates?
HOW can Texas or anyone without skills compete in a high tech, global 21st century without leading in education and technology? By making up more credit default swaps?
Why is it that China has a global plan and now controls all the rare earth metals used to make the tail fins on bombs our jets are dropping in Afghanistan and for laser sights, while the Pentagon had no plan and now must buy the metal from a one-country monopoly?

Has any American politician explained to the American people, or even understood, why BRAZIL has boomed in the past decade, bringing millions out of poverty and into the Middle Class – while the U.S. middle class dwindled and more fell into poverty?
Have U.S. policies concentrated wealth much like Mexico’s pyramid, where a few at the top control everything -- and the rest have no economic opportunity other than being a drug mule or, if lucky, a police officer?

WHAT will it take for America to regain its No. 1 lead?

These and other thought-provoking issues voters really should be asking in this week’s “Global American Radio” program. Host Michael Fjetland saw Brazil in 1980 when it had nothing; now it has floated the largest transaction on is stock market that beats any on NY or Europe’s. Is there a lesson for America here?

What are the solutions? We discuss those also. Tune in this Saturday at Houston Business 1110 AM, streamed on www.Business1110KTEK.com and available 24/7 in our archives on www.GlobalAmerican.org

Sign up for future insights – and tune in again next week. Our goal is to get America back to No. 1 -- even when it means telling people the uncomfortable truth instead of Alice in Wonderland stories masquerading as truth in our election decisions.
